Cities are amazing – built environments full of diversity, energy, culture, and pace. What makes a city more liveable though as cities get more crowded, traffic intensifies, and people struggle to find affordable housing close to their schools, workplaces, and communities they know and love? Does a city need our refining to truly sing in 2022? I am speaking today to Dr. Tammy Wong Hulbert – who I met almost 20 years ago when we worked together at Customs House on Sydney's iconic harbourside foreshore. Now based in Victoria, an hour's flight from Sydney Australia, Tammy has a real sense of what makes cities liveable. Tammy is an artist, curator, and Senior Lecturer at RMIT University, School of Art, Master of Arts (Arts Management) specializing in curating. In 2021 she was the recipient of an Australian Council of University Art and Design Schools (ACUADS) Research Innovation Award. Her research focuses on ‘curating inclusive cities' enacted through collaborations with marginalized urban communities, to unearth and care for their perspectives and build citizen participation through exhibitions and public art projects. These methodologies stem from Tammy's art practice which focuses on expressing the multi-layered and fragmented spaces between cultures, a result of her position as a fourth-generation Australian of Chinese descent and living in a super-diverse and postcolonial society. She has remained dedicated to increasing the dialogue around Australia's relationship with Asian and Chinese communities through arts activity and has worked with a wide range of contemporary artists and communities in Australia and Asia in galleries, museums, and public spaces during her career. Her most recent curatorial project was Becoming Home: Stories of Chinese Australians at ArtSpace Realm in Melbourne, Victoria (2022). She is currently working on an ARC Linkage project Vital Arts: Skilling young people for their futures awarded in 2021.   Hear Tammy discuss: What makes a city liveable and how do we know we are in one? Why is inclusiveness such a big part of a liveable city dynamic – any examples of good and bad models you can share? As a child of an immigrant family, what do you make of how transferable are “city living experiences” from one big city to another? Cities have become in some ways less vital during the Covid-19 pandemic where many people had to be in lockdown ad there was some movement globally away from traditional centres to more space, more affordable housing, and lifestyle changes – tree or sea change for example. How does that affect the viability of cities long term? Take away: What is your final takeaway message for us on The Politics of Liveable Cities?     To connect with Tammy: LinkedIn: https://au.linkedin.com/in/tammy-wong-hulbert-107130b4 W: www.tammywonghulbert.com

In this episode Professor Hannah Dahlen talks us through her incredible beginnings growing up as the daughter of a midwife and her early initiation into the birth world in Yemen.

In this podcast, we interviewed Geoffrey Spinks, a senior Professor at the Australian Institute for Innovative Materials. Geoffry is currently the Challenge Leader for Making Future Industries at the University of Wollongong's Global Challenges Program. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Melbourne in 1990 for his work on the mechanical behavior of polymers and he has maintained a research interest in this area specializing in mechanical actuator materials (artificial muscles). Geoff has published over 200 journal articles, including 5 co-authored articles in Science magazine. He is the co-recipient of more than $35m in grant funding. He had more than 10,000 citations and an "h-index" of 49. Geoff has worked closely with industry including sabbatical leave with BHP Research and Allied Signal Inc. (USA) and collaborative projects funded by industry and through the ARC Linkage and CRC schemes. Geoff has had a strong engagement with teaching across all levels of engineering materials and was the co-founder of UoW’s bachelor's degrees in Nanotechnology.

The ARC Linkage project LP160100192 Howitt and Fison’s anthropology has just got underway, led by Helen Gardner of Deakin University and with participation of four universities and participation of four partner institutions, Museum Victoria, State Library of Victoria, Native Title Services Victoria and the Victorian Aboriginal Corporation for Languages. It aims to analyse nineteenth century anthropologists Lorimer Fison and A.W. Howitt’s accounts of Indigenous kinship, social organisation, and local languages. This project will assemble Fison and Howitt’s and their correspondents’ records into best-practice digital formats, with widely accessible interactive data presentation, and bring these extraordinary records to the broadest possible community. Currently the research team are in the process of planning how this will be done and we would like to engage in dialogue with others deriving analyzable corpora from old written data (without any associated sound recordings). Some of the important issues are: - Transcription of the text of fieldnotes, letters etc. which includes amounts of words and longer passages in languages of South-East Australia which have not been well described, as well as English. The spelling of the Aboriginal languages is not regular, but can be deciphered with careful study. We have discussed the possibility of automatic transcription with an expert-system approach. - What is the optimum system for entering the transcription? A corpus approach might lead us to a multi-tiered tool eg like FLEX. - We also need to deal with other formats such as genealogies and various kind of diagram which are important and interact with text in this corpus. - Decoding of handwriting, which complicates the possibility of automatic transcription - Because of the latter, and in order to draw a wider interested audience into the materials, we want to use crowdsourcing for at least some of the transcription, so we cannot make the task of transcription too onerous or technical.

A panel presents fresh perspectives on museums approaches to human rights and the Holocaust, exploring and explicating contemporary international debates. Experts from various disciplinary backgrounds alongside museum practitioners analyse, challenge, and critically assess existing approaches, while considering possible future directions for these increasingly influential institutions. For while human rights museums with a Holocaust core or theme proliferate internationally, this burgeoning area of museology has not yet been subject to systematic scholarly study. By comparing and contrasting the unique combination of advocacy (human rights) with memory (the Holocaust), the ARC Linkage project Reverberations: The Holocaust, Human Rights and the Museum is setting the agenda for theory, practice, and policy with regard to human rights and Holocaust museums in the 21st century. Chaired by Dr Avril Alba, a Senior Lecturer in Holocaust Studies and Jewish Civilisation, and Director (Acting) of the Museums and Heritage Program, University of Sydney. SPEAKERS: - Associate Professor Jennifer Barrett publishes on museums, culture, art, and the public sphere. - Ms Tali Nates, Founder and Director of the Johannesburg Holocaust and Genocide Centre, South Africa. - Associate Professor Adam Muller, Department of English, Film, and Theatre at the University of Manitoba, studies the representation of genocide, atrocity and mass violence. - Professor Jennifer Carter, Director of the graduate museology programs at the Université du Québec à Montréal, where she is also professor of new museologies, intangible heritage and cultural objects in the Department of Art History.

Hannah Dahlen and Kate Levett are pretty much celebrities in the birth world and I'm thrilled to have been able to chat to them both for my podcast. When I was going through the edit of my book recently I realised how much I've cited much of their research, so this was a real treat for me. [spp-player optin="off" ctabuttons="off" url=“youraudio.mp3”] Hannah Dahlen & Kate Levett Hannah Dahlen and Kate Levett carried out a study last year which shows that "antenatal education classes focussing on pain relief techniques dramatically reduce the rate of medical interventions during childbirth, such as epidural use and caesarean section. The research, the first of its kind and published online today in the medical journal BMJ Open, raises questions about the way expecting mothers are provided childbirth education classes". The goal of the research was to test whether childbirth education programs can help to reduce the the rate of medical interventions. To do this they conducted a randomised controlled trial of 176 women having their first baby across two Sydney hospitals. The key findings of the research were as follows; It found women in the study group: Had a significant reduction in epidural rates compared with women in the control group (23.9% vs 68.7%) Had a reduced caesarean section rate (18.2% vs 32.5%) Were significantly less likely to require their labour to be accelerated using artificial means (28.4% vs 57.8%) or have perineal trauma (84.7% vs 96.4%) Had a shorter second stage of labour (mean difference of 32 minutes) Babies in the study group were also less likely to require resuscitation (with oxygen and/or bag and mask) at birth (13.6% vs 28.9%) As you can see the findings are pretty astounding and makes undertaking childbirth education a no-brainer. So, it was against this backdrop that we chatted about the research as well as other aspects of birth including the effect that fear can have on your birth and what we can do about it. During our conversation we talk about; how fear impacts birth outcomes the importance of continuity of care for women when it comes to pregnancy and birth, and how it helps minimise their fear value of a great midwife and how she is able to support a birthing woman why relationships are at the heart of birth the role that midwives play when it comes to introducing fear into the birth space and why they need to take responsibility when it comes to their fears and self-care the techniques and tools that you can use to help you throughout birth the key things to learn about before birth that can have a big impact on your birth why learning about the birthing body can help you prepare for birth how by taking a proactive approach to birth education and preparation can influence how birth professionals respond to you during labour   Hannah Dahlen Hannah Dahlen is the Professor of Midwifery in the School of Nursing and Midwifery at UWS.
