Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index. - Kathleen 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.
"From the mid-1940s, state housing authorities in Australia built large housing estates
to enable home ownership by working-class families, but the public housing system
they created is now regarded as broken. Contemporary problems with the sustainability,
effectiveness and reputation of the Australian public housing system are usually attributed
to the influence of neoliberalism. Housing, Neoliberalism and the Archive offers a
challenge to this established 'rise and fall' narrative of post-war housing policy.
Kathleen Flanagan uses Foucauldian 'archaeology' to analyse archival evidence from
the Australian state of Tasmania. Through this, she reveals that the difference between
past and present knowledge about the value, role and purpose of public housing results
from a significant discontinuity in the way we think and act in relation to housing
policy. Flanagan describes the complex system of ideas and events that underpinned
policy change in Tasmania while telling a story about state housing policy, neoliberalism
and history that has resonance for many other places and times. In the process, she
shows that the story of public housing is more complicated than the taken-for-granted
neoliberal narrative and that this finding has real significance for the dilemmas
in public housing policy that face us in the here and now"
