Margaret River Fishway
No full textIn order to enhance the migrations of fish species in the Margaret River, the Margaret River Regional Environment Centre, in conjunction with the Department of Environment, constructed a rock ramp fishway at the Margaret River Weir (Apex Weir) between March and April 2003. Morgan and Beatty (2003) surveyed the fish fauna of the river during March 2003, capturing 9206 fish from five native species, one feral species and the pouched lamprey (Geotria australis) (see Plate 1). All of the native fishes of the river are endemic to south-western Australia while the feral species is the mosquitofish (Gambusia holbrooki). The only other records of fish from the river are those recorded by Morgan et al. (1998) and there are also a few records in the Western Australian Museum.
Large numbers of native fishes were known to be impeded by the town weir on their upstream migration during winter and spring. These native fishes included the western minnow (Galaxias occidentalis), western pygmy perch (Edelia vittata) and nightfish (Bostockia porosa). Furthermore, adult lampreys were often observed negotiating the weirs on Margaret River with the occasional dead animal also observed. The reservoir above the Margaret River Weir had the highest abundance of the feral mosquitofish with this section of the river also containing western minnows, nightfish and western pygmy perch, and beds for larval lampreys (ammocoetes) (Morgan and Beatty 2003). It was thus deemed appropriate that the construction of a fishway on the Margaret River would be beneficial to fish and lamprey migrations in the Margaret River

Motifs of transformation in four novels of Margaret Atwood
No full textBibliography: pages 229-235.The dominant theme that Margaret Atwood foregrounds in her writing is that of victimisation, whether she is writing of the victimisation of a country, of a minority group, of animals or of an individual. She adopts the position that through acknowledgement of that victimisation, and a refusal to accept the role of victim, it is possible to become a creative non-victim. It soon becomes evident from Atwood's writing that victimisation of one kind or another is what underpins the powerful patriarchal constructions of society. In each of the four novels discussed in this thesis Atwood's female protagonists, all victims of patriarchy, transform themselves, through accessing their creativity, using it transgressively, and overcoming the strictures of patriarchy upon their lives

Margaret Murray (1863–1963): Pioneer Egyptologist, Feminist and First Female Archaeology Lecturer
No full textMargaret Murray, who was born 150 years ago, was one of the first archaeologists to be employed at UCL and one of the most distinguished, although her role in the history of archaeology is often underestimated.

Connecting theory and fiction: Margaret Atwood's novels and second wave feminism
No full textThis thesis undertakes an examination of the manner in which a novelist interacts with a contemporary theoretical discourse. I argue that the novelist and the theoretical discourse enter into a symbiotic relationship in which each influences and is influenced by the other. This process, I suggest, is simultaneous and complex. The thesis demonstrates how the prevailing theoretical discourse is absorbed by the contemporary author, is developed and redefined in conjunction with alternative concerns, and comes to permeate the narrative in an altered state. The novelist's new perspectives, frequently problematising theoretical claims, are then disseminated by the novel, promoting further discussion and development of the theoretical discourse. The thesis focuses on the novels of Margaret Atwood, considering them in relation to the history and development of second wave feminism. "Second wave feminism" is understood as an umbrella term that incorporates a wide variety of related but diverse and occasionally contradictory discourses, centring on the subjects of gender, femininity, and sexuality. The focus of the discussion is dual and presented simultaneously. Atwood's novels are analysed chronologically, and within the parameter of this analysis I demonstrate how her work has been influenced by earlier feminist theories, how it comments upon a variety of contemporary feminist ideas, and how it can be seen to anticipate further discussions within feminist discourse. Finally, I identify moments in Atwood's writing when alternative discourses compete with feminism to create new directions for feminist criticism. Examples of these discourses include Canadian nationalism, liberalism, communitarianism and environmentalism. The specificity of the novelist's interests and politics create a unique site of interaction for feminism which, I argue, benefits feminist theory by challenging, broadening and diversifying its focus. The thesis concludes that the symbiotic relationship of the theorist and the novelist is self-perpetuating and is also necessary and beneficial to both parties
