Description

Examines Australian political practice from a feminist perspective. Focuses on the gender dimensions of a range of political institutions including the constitution, Parliament, the bureaucracy, the judiciary and the media. Explores the effect that gendered norms in political practice have in women's lives and on women's political experiences. Considers specific areas of policy, political institutions and political practice such as work and family policy, representation and the feminist policy machinery.
