RESEARCH Over the last decade I have developed four particular areas of research expertise: Work and Life This research has involved extensive analysis of ABS data and collection and analysis of new qualitative data about work and its complex intersections with households, families and social life. This work has resulted in many publications and extensive involvement in public policy development, expert witness testimony, media analysis and commentary, and public speaking on a regular basis, both nationally in each Australian state and internationally. Most of this publication, policy, media and speaking is on an invited basis. Books include The Work/Life Collision (2003) and (provisional title) “The Labour Market Ate My Babies!” How Markets Consume Us, forthcoming in early 2006. Industrial Relations I have examined the nature of industrial relations changes in Australia with a particular focus upon their gendered character. Several larger research funding projects have enabled this work and I have national meetings on relevant issues and participated in public debate, including media discussion, about the nature and effects of this important area of legislative and policy change in Australia. I have published many times on these issues and addressed national forums, Senate Committees of Inquiry, given expert testimony, and presented at many conferences in relation to research and analysis of the impact of actual and proposed change. My academic work has been supplemented by direct experience as a policy advisor to politicians, and I have overseen the drafting of legislation, and participated in many forms of parliamentary activity. Gender and work I have taken a broad definition of ‘work’ and undertaken detailed analysis of workplace change internationally and in Australia, including in my analysis both the paid and unpaid spheres. This led to my 2001 publication of the report Having a Life: Work, Family, Fairness and Community in 2000 followed by the book The Work/Life Collision, which contributed to a lively debate in academic and community forums and the media about the affects of work upon women, men, children and society. I have closely examined the nature and effect of union interventions in the labour market with detailed analysis of their gendered politics. Unionism I have been researching unions in Australia since 1990. My work has been widely used by leaders in Australian unions, university teachers and students. My 1998 study of US unions (leading to the monograph Organising Our Future (co-authored with John Wishart) resulted in an extended national round of public speaking at industry and academic conferences. It has also been widely circulated amongst union educators in the US, and has been distributed to union leadership course participants at the Harvard Trade Union Education program. My analysis of the 1998 Maritime Dispute led to a collaboration with Dr Elaine Bernard (Harvard) and Dr David Weil (Boston University) in the development of an extended teaching case around the dispute. This case has since been successfully taught at Harvard. I have published widely in relation to unionism, and have undertaken two ARC grants along with several consultancies in relation to unionism. I have conducted national management reviews for specific unions. My current Fellowship is titled Work/life in Australia: The changing work and life patterns and preferences of Australian workers, communities and households. This project is undertaking new research on work/family/life issues in Australia (as well as write up about Curriculum Vitae Barbara Pocock 4 workplace representation and union renewal in Australia). I am making an extended, in-depth examination of changing patterns of work (broadly defined) in Australia, and the dynamic relationship of these changes with the nature of Australian communities, workplaces and families. The study examines the patterns of change for men, women in their paid and unpaid work, alongside the nature of their paid workplaces, the changing nature of Australian ‘community’, and patterns of household structure. I am also researching the impact on children. In 2005 I have developed a new research line of analysis in collaboration with a large multinational developer with a view to expanding this analysis to a range of Australian communities across a rage of income groups. I supervise Phd students in these areas of research. I have been awarded six ARC research projects since 1997 (3 Discoveries and 3 Linkage). Currently I hold a Discovery grant and two Linkage grants and have undertaken many consultancies. I regularly convene teams of researchers. In 1997 I submitted my Phd Thesis 'Challenging Male Advantage in Australian Unions' which was accepted by examiners with high commendation and without amendment. The thesis was described as a model with respect to the clarity of its research questions, methodology and overall construction. The thesis was particularly recommended for its approach to cross-disciplinary research and its contribution to the Australian literature and conceptualisation of gender and institutional life. 5. TEACHING I have devised, coordinated, lectured, tutored, designed assessment and assessed work in courses within the B. Arts, B. Arts (Labour Studies), B. Labour Studies and Bachelor of Economics. I have also taught and supervised at Honours, Graduate Diploma, Masters and Phd levels.
