Current Research
Gendered spaces Architecture and design in the 1950s Australian cookbooks as a form of life-writing
Significant Contributions to this research
My doctoral thesis '�It was another skin': The kitchen in 1950s Western Australia'� explores the everyday lives of women and their kitchen practices in the 1950s. The analysis includes an examination of the design and architecture of 1950s kitchens and houses. My work confirms that the relationship between gender and design impacted significantly on the way women worked, decorated and cared for their families in the central space of the kitchen. The thesis adds to the discussion of the nexus between ethnicity, gender, age and design.
