Table of ContentsReviewsFlanagan's groundbreaking book utilizes Foucauldian archeology and the case of Tasmania to present a fascinating and illuminating examination of how the complex ordering of discourses on public housing is central to understanding both its history and its uncertain and contested future. An essential contribution to the field. -John Flint, Professor of Town and Regional Planning, and Director of Research, Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Sheffield, UK In a brilliant, focused consideration of the so-called modern 'truths' of public housing in Tasmania, Dr Kathleen Flanagan has made a significant contribution to the broader debates about the changing roles and purposes of public housing provision. This book re-establishes the role and importance of the archive in demonstrating that apparent discursive continuities are discontinuous, the link between discourse and practices of government, and that now-smoothed-over periods produced different knowledges and understandings about people, place, and government. -David Cowan, Professor of Law and Policy, University of Bristol, UK Author InformationKathleen Flanagan is Research Fellow and Deputy Director of the Housing and Community Research Unit in the School of Social Sciences at the University of Tasmania. Her research is concerned with questioning the ‘taken-for-granted’ of contemporary housing policy, and includes detailed analysis of policy history and discourse. Prior to joining the University of Tasmania, Kathleen worked in the Tasmanian community sector, particularly with Anglicare’s highly-regarded Social Action and Research Centre. She was appointed by the Premier of Tasmania to the Cost of Living Expert Advisory Panel in 2010, which provided expert input into the development of the Tasmanian Cost of Living Strategy 2011, and is a past Chair of Volunteering Tasmania. She is currently working on a number of projects funded by the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute directed at improving the sustainability and efficacy of the Australian housing system.
