My research work has unusual breadth since it covers three fields: Australian politics, political theory and gender politics (including sexuality). My core interest, which connects these diverse fields, is analysing relevant aspects of ideology and discourse in Australian political culture e.g. analysing the ideologies of Australian governments, analysing gendered discourse. One particularly original aspect of my work lies in critically assessing the utility of diverse, political/social/cultural theoretical approaches for these analyses. My first sole-authored book The Labor Legacy: Curtin, Chifley, Whitlam, Hawke (1989), and subsequent articles on Labor, sparked major discussions by critiquing the common view that economic rationalism marked a definitive break with Labor tradition. My latest book, Governing Change: From Keating to Howard analyses government discourse on issues ranging from economic and welfare policy, gender, race and ethnicity to new information technology. As my list of publications shows, the relevance of my Australian work to international debates, for example on the new politics of the right or gender and democratisation, has been clearly recognised by the inclusion of my work in major international collections on those themes. (I am also currently writing two papers on Right-Wing populism with retired German academic Hans-Georg Betz and Steve Patten from the University of Alberta). My work on gender has also been published in international journals such as Feminist Review and Women's Studies International Forum. I am an Associate Editor of the International Feminist Journal of Politics. The significance of my broader work on gender to the discipline internationally is also clearly recognised by my being selected to write the 4,500 word entry on 'Gender and feminist studies in political science' for the prestigious, 24 volume International Encyclopedia of the Social and Behavioural Sciences. I'm a referee for numerous Australian-based journals but am also asked to be a referee for international journals such as The Women's Studies International Forum, Theory&Event (Johns Hopkins) and the Canadian Journal of Political Science.

The national impact/recognition of my work is clear from my past position as President of the Australasian Political Studies Association, the peak professional organisation for Australasian political scientists; from my secondment to the Research School of Social Sciences at A.N.U.; and from various invitations to give papers e.g. to the Academy of the Social Sciences Election Workshops (1999 and for the 2001 election). I was also invited to present the paper on 'Australian political science and the study of discourse' in the Disciplinary History of Political Science Stream, for the Australasian Political Studies Association's Jubilee 50 Conference at ANU in 2002.
