The ensuing genealogies highlight some of the taken-for-granted, normalised planning practices that assisted in the creation the Golden Grove Development. The aim of these analyses is to open up ways to think about the practice of suburban government and to offer new insights into the politics of ideals of a 'total community'. By drawing attention to the historical contingencies of particular ways of thinking about 'community' and diversity, opportunities to consider their strategic effects become apparent; that is, to act in a more self conscious manner and thereby conduct practices of suburban planning differently. http://www.api-network.com/cgi-bin/page?archives/jas78_mclaren John McLaren, 'The End of an Affair: Intellectuals and the Communist Party, 1956–1959' http://www.api-network.com/cgi-bin/page?archives/jas78_madsen Wendy Madsen, 'The Age of Transition: Nursing and Caring in the Nineteenth Century' http://www.api-network.com/cgi-bin/page?calendar/conferencesA listing of conferences related to the field of Australian studies.
