ItemUNESCO Cultural Heritage Sites and Tourism: A paradoxical relationship(Routledge, 2020)Conservation and management of cultural heritage sites are characterised by several paradoxes, which also affect the tourism activities related to these sites. The World Monument Fund monitors damage to heritage buildings and sites. It identifies three major threats facing heritage sites: political conflict, climate change and tourism. The tourist is thus seen to be as damaging as war or rising sea levels. In the World Monument Fund’s (2018) list of the most endangered 25 monuments in the world, approximately one-third were diagnosed as being ‘in danger’, mainly from tourists.

ItemThe Arts Funding Divide: Would ‘Cultural Rights’ Produce a Fairer Approach?(Routledge, 2019-10-11)It seems that the funding of arts practice is always a contested domain, whatever political view or system is dominant. In some contexts, for example, there is no government support for the funding of arts practice, while in others there are different interpretations of what this entails. In most forms of government, several sectors of society (agriculture, mining, manufacturing and sport) receive government subsidies. In a capitalist state this is sometimes described as ‘welfare capitalism’. However, those opposed to the government funding of arts practice believe the arts should not be included in this framing because they are regarded as ‘non-essential’ (Bell and Oakley, 2015; Brabham, 2017; Brooks, 2001). Thus, in this framing the arts and cultural sector is not seen as a fundamental component of society and government support of the arts is seen as an indulgence and not a necessity.

ItemWomen and Arts Leadership(Routledge, 2018)Women are the major consumers of most arts practices, yet they are generally less visible than men in arts leadership roles. This chapter explores the issues and challenges around women in the arts and in arts leadership in different artforms. Judy b. Rosener argues that the expectations of women and men in the workplace are different because of long-term social conditioning. Exploring issues around gender and arts leadership is important because it relates to cultural, economic and social issues connected with both art and society. The invisibility of women as leaders in the arts is evidenced by who are recognized as the leaders of arts practice and the leaders of major arts institutions across the globe. Women are certainly visible as leaders of small to medium arts organizations in various artforms, but as the organizations become bigger or more important, the presence of women at the top diminishes.

ItemArts, Culture and Country(Currency House, 2022)The past two years have been a particularly dark time for the arts in Australia. Not only are we living through a pandemic, but the federal government has shown little interest in—or understanding of—the plight of the sector and its artists. The pandemic comes on the back of seven years of continuous erosion of public assistance to the arts at the national level, with more than ninety arts organisations defunded, while funding to individual artists has been significantly reduced. Many are struggling to survive in the face of repeated lockdowns and border closures to control the pandemic. For years the arts sector has provided evidence of its economic benefits, as well as its intrinsic value to society. Yet politicians remain impervious to these arguments. Increasingly, it is ideology rather than evidence that determines government policy. In other words, support for the arts is not primarily a question of economics. It is a question of values. The pandemic has made people realise the seminal importance of the arts and culture to our national well-being, but politicians do not see them as a central part of policymaking. Arts and culture are intertwined. We need to change how we view the relationship between the two within the political framework. This monograph presents some ideas on how to do it.

ItemNo Preview AvailableAn A/r/tographic Blueprint for Walking in Four Propositions(InSEA Publications, 2024-05-01)Our life narratives are intertwined and entangled with/in art, research and teaching. As digital a/r/tographers, our place stories have connections that have connected us further across spaces and sites. These are multiplicitous and invite new inter-actions and intra-actions across times. We-searching (Holman Jones & Harris, 2019) with Haraway digitally is an experiment that we followed as a series of propositions during 2020. A turn in our life narratives that hold us, yet opens us to living and working with and through the human, non-human and more-than-human interests us as re-searchers. This a/r/tographic blueprint for walking in four propositions explores making kin as a/r/tographers that work in often contested spaces of conservative educational research and across disciplinary boundaries.

ItemNo Preview AvailableDrawing, Writing, and Walking: An A/r/t/graphic Proposition in 7 Prompts(InSEA Publications, 2024-05-01)This co-storied a/r/tographic proposition in seven prompts has been designed by three a/r/tographers at different stages of knowing between themselves, their worlds, and their practices in and through a/r/tography. We have co-designed these seven prompts in response to the renderings of a/r/tography from the spaces and places we have found ourselves in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. We live in the same city but each of our a/r/tographic practices and our inquiries differ. Our practices of living, walking, being, working, and travelling explore how the radical relatedness and collaborations (Bickel et al., 2010) found within an a/r/tography pedagogy and methodology occur. “Radical relatedness leads to further knowledge sources and cross disciplinary experience in regard to relational aesthetics, relational inquiry, and relational learning” (Bickel et al., 2010, p. 98). We believe that collaboration is central to our work as researchers and practitioners—we learn through, with, and together.
