One size no longer fits all: the application of Andreasen's six social marketing benchmarks in Australian antismoking programs
Creators: name: de Meyrick, Julian
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis investigates changes in smoking behaviour in the Australian community during a period when the community was exposed to increasingly graphic messages aimed at lowering smoking prevalence in the community. Tobacco smoking is one of the greatest causes of avoidable morbidity and premature mortality in most countries, including Australia. The damage it inflicts is enormous and warrants the application of the most effective social marketing programs (together with complementary legislative and economic programs) to counteract it. -- Andreasen identified six benchmarks that identify a social marketing program. Examination of the current strategy indicates that these benchmarks have not been consistently met. In particular, analysis of data from four large scale surveys conducted across Australia in the last fifteen years indicates the existence of different segments in the target audience. It also indicates that changes in smoking behaviour in different segments have been significantly different during the period covered by the surveys. -- It is recommended that the developers of antismoking programs reconsider their strategy along the lines recommended by Andreasen: -- 1. Behavior change is the benchmark used to design and evaluate interventions: Establish objectives not just for smoking cessation but also for declines in smoking initiation for specific target segments -- 2. Projects consistently use audience research: Research is needed to monitor changes in each segment, to test alternatives to the medical, fear-appeal strategy. -- 3. There is careful segmentation of target audiences Several demographic and behavioural segmentation bases are suggested in this thesis. -- 4. The central element of any influence strategy is creating attractive and motivational exchanges: Benefits of not smoking that are relevant and persuasive must be communicated to each segment -- 5. The strategy attempts to use all four Ps of the traditional marketing mix: A greater understanding is needed of the benefits of not smoking, the costs of not smoking as perceived by the audience -- 6. Careful attention is paid to the competition faced by the desired behavior: Recognised risk factors associated with initiating and continuing to smoke must be addressed in antismoking programs.

description: Generalised Hermite-Gaussian modes (gHG modes), an extended notion of Hermite-Gaussian modes (HG modes), are formed by the summation of normal HG modes with a characteristic function $α$, which can be used to unite conventional HG modes and Laguerre-Gaussian modes (LG modes). An infinite number of normalised orthogonal modes can thus be obtained by modulation of the function $α$. The gHG mode notion provides a useful tool in analysis of the deformation and transformation phenomena occurring in propagation of HG and LG modes with astigmatic perturbation.

Diffusive lossless energy and coherence transfer by noisy coupling

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: Here we show that noisy coupling can lead to diffusive lossless energy transfer between individual quantum systems retaining a quantum character leading to entangled stationary states. Coherence might flow diffusively while being summarily preserved even when energy exchange is absent. Diffusive dynamics persists even in the case when additional noise suppresses all the unitary excitation exchange: arbitrarily strong local dephasing, while destroying quantum correlations, is not affecting energy transfer.

description: Slow oscillations (SlO) of the in-plane magnetoresistance with a frequency less than 4 T are observed in the rare-earth tritellurides and proposed as an effective tool to explore the electronic structure in various strongly anisotropic quasi-two-dimensional compounds. Contrary to the usual Shubnikov-de-Haas oscillations, SlO originate not from small Fermi-surface pockets, but from the entanglement of close frequencies due to a finite interlayer transfer integral, either between the two Te planes forming a bilayer or between two adjacent bilayers. From the observed angular dependence of the frequency and the phase of SlO we argue that they originate from the bilayer splitting rather than from the Fermi-surface warping. The SlO frequency gives the value of the interlayer transfer integral $\approx 1$ meV for TbTe$_3$ and GdTe$_3$.

The Impact of Male Migration from Morocco to Europe on Women:  A Gender Approach
Creators: name: Sadiqi, Fatima

Publisher: name: Finisterra
Year: 2012

description: This paper offers a gender approach to the impact of male migrationfrom Morocco to Europe on women left behind. The pertinence of the topic stems from the fact that very few studies have been conducted on the subject. It is believed that such studies will help in the understanding of the the phenomenon of migration and help to find solutions for some of the problems it poses. More and more Moroccan women suffer as a result of the migration of their husbands, sons,fathers, etc. Their suffering is not only due to separation from the loved ones but also to the dire economic and social conditions that a heavily patriarchal context does not help to alleviate.

Socio-emotional processing in Fragile X Syndrome

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder, which is characterised by significant social impairments including: social anxiety and withdrawal, gaze aversion, reduced interaction with peers, as well as schizotypal personality and autistic features. The overarching aim of this thesis was to investigate the socio-emotional processing skills of individuals with FXS. More specifically, through a series of studies, this thesis aimed to provide a more detailed investigation of the cognitive, behavioural and psychophysiological aspects of socio-emotional processing in FXS individuals. Using a broad cross-syndrome approach, Paper One compared the visual attentional functions that underpin how individuals with FXS process social information, to those with Williams syndrome (WS). Results revealed interesting dissociations between these two disorders, as well as between these clinical populations and chronological age (CA-) matched and mental age (MA-) matched controls. Papers Two and Three explored the explicit emotion recognition abilities of FXS individuals, while also investigating different aspects of implicit emotion recognition. In more detail, Paper Two explored how FXS individuals visually scanned emotional facial expressions, while Paper Three investigated whether autonomic hyperarousal was generalised or social-specific in a group of FXS females. Both papers revealed significant explicit emotion recognition difficulties in the FXS individuals compared to both CA- and MA-matched controls; however, the FXS individuals' visual scanning and autonomic arousal levels were similar to those of the MA-matched controls. Paper Four, the final empirical paper of this thesis, focused on higher-order socio-emotional evaluative processing, namely, whether FXS individuals display abnormal social approach judgements. Results revealed that when emotion recognition deficits were taken into consideration, the FXS individuals continued to display abnormal social judgements, consistent with the behavioural social aversion that is characteristic of FXS; and seen more generally in social anxiety. The current thesis contributed to the literature on socio-emotional processing skills in FXS by providing empirical evidence of explicit emotion recognition deficits, which in the past has been refuted. Importantly, it was determined that the observed emotion recognition deficits within the FXS group were apparent despite visual scanning of, and arousal from, emotional facial expressions being at developmentally equivalent levels. However, even after emotion recognition deficits were taken into consideration, FXS individuals were observed to make abnormal social judgements consistent with the social aversion reported behaviourally in the disorder. The current findings suggest that there is a complexity surrounding the socio-emotional processing in FXS that requires further research.

description: Display calculi are generalized sequent calculi which enjoy a `canonical' cut elimination strategy. That is, their cut elimination is uniformly obtained by verifying the assumptions of a meta-theorem, and is preserved by adding or removing structural rules. In the present paper, we discuss a proof-theoretic setting, inspired both to Belnap's Display Logic and to Sambin's Basic Logic, which generalises these calculi in two directions: by explicitly allowing different types, and by weakening the so-called display and visibility properties. The generalisation to a multi-type environment makes it possible to introduce specific tools enhancing expressivity, which have proved useful e.g. for a smooth proof-theoretic treatment of multi-modal and dynamic logics. The generalisation to a setting in which full display property is not required makes it possible to account for logics which admit connectives which are neither adjoints nor residuals, or logics that are not closed under uniform substitution. In the present paper, we give a general overview of the calculi which we refer to as multi-type calculi, and we discuss their canonical cut elimination meta-theorem.
On dualities for SSEP and ASEP with open boundary conditions

description: Duality relations for simple exclusion processes with general open boundaries are discussed. It is shown that a combination of spin operators and bosonic operators enables us to have an unified discussion for the duality relations with the open boundaries. As for the symmetric simple exclusion process (SSEP), more general results than previous studies are obtained; it is clarified that not only the absorbing sites, but also additional sites, called copying sites, are needed for the boundaries in the dual process for the SSEP. The role of the copying sites is to conserve information about the particle states on the boundary sites. The similar discussions are applied to the asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP), in which the q-analogues are employed, and it is clarified that the ASEP with open boundaries has a complicated dual process on the boundaries.

Dark matter halos and the M-σrelation for supermassive black holes
Creators: name: Larkin, Adam C

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We develop models of two-component spherical galaxies to establish scaling relations linking the properties of spheroids at $z=0$ (total stellar masses, effective radii $R_e$ and velocity dispersions within $R_e$) to the properties of their dark-matter halos at both $z=0$ and higher redshifts. . Our main motivation is the widely accepted idea that the accretion-driven growth of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) in protogalaxies is limited by quasar-mode feedback and gas blow-out. The SMBH masses, $M_{\rm{BH}}$, should then be connected to the dark-matter potential wells at the redshift $z_{\rm{qso}}$ of the blow-out. We specifically consider the example of a power-law dependence on the maximum circular speed in a protogalactic dark-matter halo: $M_{\rm{BH}}\propto V^4_{\rm{d,pk}}$, as could be expected if quasar-mode feedback were momentum-driven. For halos with a given $V_{\rm{d,pk}}$ at a given $z_{\rm{qso}}\ge 0$, our model scaling relations give a typical stellar velocity dispersion $σ_{\rm{ap}}(R_e)$ at $z=0$. Thus, they transform a theoretical $M_{\rm{BH}}$-$V_{\rm{d,pk}}$ relation into a prediction for an observable $M_{\rm{BH}}$-$σ_{\rm{ap}}(R_e)$ relation. We find the latter to be distinctly non-linear in log-log space. Its shape depends on the generic redshift-evolution of halos in a {$Λ$}CDM cosmology and the systematic variation of stellar-to-dark matter mass fraction at $z=0$, in addition to any assumptions about the physics underlying the $M_{\rm{BH}}$-$V_{\rm{d,pk}}$ relation. Despite some clear limitations of the form we use for $M_{\rm{BH}}$ versus $V_{\rm{d,pk}}$, and even though we do not include any SMBH growth through dry mergers at low redshift, our results for $M_{\rm{BH}}$-$σ_{\rm{ap}}(R_e)$ compare well to data for local early types if we take $z_{\rm{qso}} \sim$ 2-4.

description: In recent years, schools have been called upon to expand their efforts to increase physical activity related opportunities for children and adolescents. Although schools have been found to be a vital venue in obesity prevention, not all children and adolescents in the United States attend public schools. There are approximately 2 million homeschool students (K-12) in the United States. In recent years, there has been an increase of homeschool physical education clinical programs conducted by higher education institutions to provide homeschool children with quality physical activity opportunities. The purpose of this study was to provide insight into the parental attitudes toward physical education activity among parents whose children attend public school, parents whose children are homeschooled, and parents whose children are homeschooled and attend a homeschool physical education program at an institution of higher education. The Physical Education Activity Attitude Scale (PEAAS) was utilized to assess parental attitudes toward physical education activity. A total of N = 203 parents completed the PEAAS survey. The mean total PEAAS score for all groups was 75.94 ( SD = 7.59). A statistically significant difference among setting groups was found (F (2, 403) = 13.274, p < 0.001). For the general attitudes category, there was a statistically significant difference among the groups (F (2, 403) = 5.07, p = 0.007). For the physical education category, there was a statistically significant difference among the groups (F (2, 403) = 13.988, p < 0.001). For scientific basis category, there was no statistically significant difference among groups, (F (2,403)= 1.404, p = 0.247). Using the total PEAAS scores, the main effect of parent physical activity was also statistically significant, implying there is a difference in total scores across parental physical activity levels ( p = 0.008). A two-way-interaction was found for socioeconomic status (SES) and setting. Information from this exploratory study should be used to advocate for the inclusion of physical education classes in the curriculum for students that are homeschooled, as well as students who attend public schools.

An exploration of superexpertise
Creators: name: Gray, Xenogene
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis considers the nature of expertise, focusing on expertise beyond normal human capabilities; such expertise is called, by the author, superexpertise. The question asked in this thesis is: how can people manage problems that require superexpertise? A model of superexpertise is constructed through an exploration of aspects of this concept set out in seven published papers on the subject. In the first paper, published in 2007, the concept of superexpertise was identified with the characteristic of automation of large scale combinatorics by a legal expert system shell, eGanges. Further contributions to the model are added in the remaining six papers so that conclusions can be drawn as to the nature of superexpertise. The notion of superexpertise has evolved from the work of expert systems, knowledge based systems, knowledge representations and problem solving methods. It is particularly useful for problems involving large-scale combinatorics and sorting according to a prescribed multi-valued logic. To manage superexpertise, it must be elicited from expert epistemology. An expert epistemology is a theory about the knowledge bound up, encompassed and contained in the expertise and includes knowledge representation, semantics, specifications, heuristics, reasoning, etc; it is concerned with 'How we know what we know', and deals with the means of producing knowledge, including how knowledge is acquired. Specifically, the aim of this thesis was to show the applicability of two epistemologies, called eGanges and NeGame (a complement to eGanges), for three particular types of problems, namely, Quality Control problems, Adversarial problems and Negotiation problems. Initially a qualitative methodology of case studies of superexpertise is relied on, but quantitative methodologies are also used as mathematical characteristics of superexpertise are revealed and developed. An introductory definition of superexpertise is expanded into a model with two major features: (1) large scale combinatorics that require (2) multi-value logic processing. The NeGame epistemology was introduced in this thesis, but requires further work and refinement, along with a logical verification more detailed than can be provided by these limited case studies.

description: This thesis investigates evolution of large-scale shear zones – complex structures in the earth crust where deformation occurs and that control mountain building. Shear zones can nucleate and/or get reactivated in response to the interaction between tectonic plates, in particular, when one is pushed under the other promoting deformation in the overriding plate. This study first details an internal build of one such extremely wide shear zone in NW Argentina and studies its evolution through >100 million years of activity. This shear zone is then compared to other major shear zones in the region.

description: We study irreducible Smale spaces with totally disconnected stable sets and their associated $K$-theoretic invariants. Such Smale spaces arise as Wieler solenoids, and we restrict to those arising from open surjections. The paper follows three converging tracks: one dynamical, one operator algebraic and one $K$-theoretic. Using Wieler's Theorem, we characterize the unstable set of a finite set of periodic points as a locally trivial fibre bundle with discrete fibres over a compact space. This characterization gives us the tools to analyze an explicit groupoid Morita equivalence between the groupoids of Deaconu-Renault and Putnam-Spielberg, extending results of Thomsen. The Deaconu-Renault groupoid and the explicit Morita equivalence leads to a Cuntz-Pimsner model for the stable Ruelle algebra. The $K$-theoretic invariants of Cuntz-Pimsner algebras are then studied using the Pimsner extension, for which we construct an unbounded representative. To elucidate the power of these constructions we characterize the KMS weights on the stable Ruelle algebra of a Wieler solenoid. We conclude with several examples of Wieler solenoids, their associated algebras and spectral triples.
Impossible realities: the emergence of traditional Aboriginal cultural practices in Sydney's western suburbs
Creators: name: Everett, Kristina Lyn
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The thesis concerns an Aboriginal community, members of which inhabit the western suburbs of Sydney at the beginning of the twenty-first century. This particular group of people has emerged as a cultural group over the last twenty-five years. In other words, the community did not exist before the advent of Aboriginal land rights in Australia. It might be right to suggest that without land rights, native title and state celebrations and inclusions of Aboriginal peoples as multicufturalism, this particular urban community would not and could not exist at all. That, however, would be a simplistic analysis of a complex phenomenon. Land rights and native title provide the beginning of this story. It becomes much more interesting when the people concerned take it up themselves. -- The main foci in the thesis are the cultural forms that this particular community overtly and intentionally produce as articulations of their identity, namely public speaking, dancing, painting and ceremony. I argue that it is only through these yery deliberate collective practices of identity-making that community identity can be produced. This is because the place that the group claims as its own - Sydney - is always already inhabited by 'us' (the dominant society). Analysis of these cultural forms reveals that even if the existence of the group depends on land rights and, attempts to attract the ultimate 'authenticity' bestowed by native title, members of this group are not conforming to native title rules pertinent to what constitutes 'genuine' 'Aboriginality' for the purposes of winning land claims. Their revived traditions are pot what the state prescribes as representative of 'authentic' urban Aboriginal culture. -- The thesis analyses the ways in which urban Aboriginal peoples are makipg themselves in the era and context of native title. It considers the consequences of being themselves.

description: We carry out two-dimensional global particle-in-cell simulations of the interaction between the solar wind and a dipole field to study the formation of the bow shock and magnetosphere. A self-reforming bow shock ahead of a dipole field is presented by using relatively high temporal-spatial resolutions. We find that (1) the bow shock and the magnetosphere are formed and reach a quasi-stable state after several ion cyclotron periods, and (2) under the Bz southward solar wind condition the bow shock undergoes a self-reformation for low \b{eta}i and high MA. Simultaneously, a magnetic reconnection in the magnetotail is found. For high \b{eta}i and low MA, the shock becomes quasi-stationary, and the magnetotail reconnection disappears. In addition, (3) the magnetopause deflects the magnetosheath plasmas. The sheath particles injected at the quasi-perpendicular region of the bow shock can be convected to downstream of an oblique shock region. A fraction of these sheath particles can leak out from the magnetosheath at the wings of the bow shock. Hence, the downstream situation is more complicated than that for a planar shock produced in local simulations.

description: The problem of having an accurate description of the spacetime around neutron stars is of great astrophysical interest. For astrophysical applications, one needs to have a metric that captures all the properties of the spacetime around a neutron star. Furthermore, an accurate appropriately parameterised metric, i.e., a metric that is given in terms of parameters that are directly related to the physical structure of the neutron star, could be used to solve the inverse problem, which is to infer the properties of the structure of a neutron star from astrophysical observations. In this work we present such an approximate stationary and axisymmetric metric for the exterior of neutron stars, which is constructed using the Ernst formalism and is parameterised by the relativistic multipole moments of the central object. This metric is given in terms of an expansion on the Weyl-Papapetrou coordinates with the multipole moments as free parameters and is shown to be extremely accurate in capturing the physical properties of a neutron star spacetime as they are calculated numerically in general relativity. Because the metric is given in terms of an expansion, the expressions are much simpler and easier to implement, in contrast to previous approaches. For the parameterisation of the metric in general relativity, the recently discovered universal 3-hair relations are used to produce a 3-parameter metric. Finally, a straightforward extension of this metric is given for scalar-tensor theories with a massless scalar field, which also admit a formulation in terms of an Ernst potential.
Australian foreign policy and Africa, 1972-1983

description: This thesis examines Australian foreign policy with a focus on relations with Africa. I contrast the foreign policy position of the Whitlam Labor Party government with the international policies of the Fraser Liberal and Country Parties government. The structure of analysis demonstrates the links between general and specific elements of foreign policy. I discuss Australia's relations with the United States, approach on the Indian Ocean region, voting pattern at the United Nations, and role in the Commonwealth. I also examine Australia's policies in relation to the demands of developing countries in general, and study the positions of Whitlam and Fraser on China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia and Papua New Guinea. This narrowing of analysis culminates with an investigation into Australian foreign policy on Africa, particularly South Africa and Rhodesia. The comparison of the foreign policies of the Whitlam and Fraser governments illustrates the extent of change and continuity in Australia's international position over time. I argue that Whitlam and Fraser produced similar foreign policy positions on Africa from different political perspectives. I also argue that Whitlam and Fraser established an anti-racist and anti-colonial foreign policy for Australia.
Forecasting risk in acute myocardial infarction

description: Coronary heart disease is the most common cause of death worldwide with an estimated 7 million deaths per year. The majority of these deaths are due to acute myocardial infarction (AMI) so the burden of illness and mortality from AMI worldwide is immense. Existing short-term risk assessment strategies in AMI are limited to Western patient populations. In this thesis we have proposed risk models for prediction of mortality after AMI based on the geographically diverse Hirulog and Early Reperfusion or Occlusion (HERO-2) trial. The HERO-2 trial randomised 17 073 patients to either unfractionated heparin or bivalirudin in conjunction with fibrinolytic therapy with streptokinase, for the treatment of ST-segment Elevation MI. Patients were recruited from 46 countries from Europe, North and Latin America and Asia, including Australia, New Zealand and Russia. We have developed a comprehensive risk model to identify significant predictors of 30-day mortality. This model was subsequently simplified to a basic risk index and predictive accuracy was compared. We have also proposed two new methods for directly comparing the calibration and ranking performance of two risk strategies. -- The geographical diversity of the HERO-2 trial also provided a unique opportunity to examine international differences in clinical outcomes following AMI. We have undertaken a comprehensive comparison of patient characteristics, treatment and outcomes across 5 pre-specified regions: Western countries, Latin America, Eastern Europe, Russia and Asia. We found that mortality rates were lower in Western countries and that these differences could not be attributed to patient case-mix, treatments or national health and economic statistics. -- An important issue in applying findings from randomised clinical trials is the procedure to estimate risk among members of other patient populations. Using the HERO-2 trial we compared methods for updating risk models for AMI. A variety of re-calibration and model revision strategies were compared with a global modeling strategy having a built-in region effect. The relative performance of these methods in the different geographical regions, which vary in sample size, was of primary interest. Model revision was found to only provide a slight improvement in predictive performance over the global model. We concluded that a global model with regional re-calibration is adequate. We also studied data from 5 additional multinational trials: GUSTO-1, GUSTO-2b, GUSTO-3, ASSENT-2 and ASSENT-3. We further explored the adequacy of applying simple re-calibration to update a model for the context of applying a previously developed model to a new trial. We found that new models do not need to be developed for risk assessment in new trials; prior models with recalibration will suffice.

description: Small 3He-rich solar energetic particle (SEP) events have been commonly associated with extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) jets and narrow coronal mass ejections (CMEs) which are believed to be the signatures of magnetic reconnection involving field lines open to interplanetary space. The elemental and isotopic fractionation in these events are thought to be caused by processes confined to the flare sites. In this study we identify 32 3He-rich SEP events observed by the Advanced Composition Explorer near the Earth during the solar minimum period 2007-2010 and examine their solar sources with the high resolution Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) EUV images. Leading the Earth, STEREO-A provided for the first time a direct view on 3He-rich flares, which are generally located on the Sun's western hemisphere. Surprisingly, we find that about half of the 3He-rich SEP events in this survey are associated with large-scale EUV coronal waves. An examination of the wave front propagation, the source-flare distribution and the coronal magnetic field connections suggests that the EUV waves may affect the injection of 3He-rich SEPs into interplanetary space.

description: The RD52 (DREAM) collaboration is performing R\&D on dual readout calorimetry techniques with the aim of improving hadronic energy resolution for future high energy physics experiments. The simultaneous detection of Cherenkov and scintillation light enables us to measure the electromagnetic fraction of hadron shower event-by-event. As a result, we could eliminate the main fluctuation which prevented from achieving precision energy measurement for hadrons. We have tested the performance of the lead and copper fiber prototypes calorimeters with various energies of electromagnetic particles and hadrons. During the beam test, we investigated the energy resolutions for electrons and pions as well as the identification of those particles in a longitudinally unsegmented calorimeter. Measurements were also performed on pure and doped PbWO$_{4}$ crystals, as well as BGO and BSO, with the aim of realising a crystal based dual readout detector. We will describe our results, focusing on the more promising properties of homogeneous media for the technique. Guidelines for additional developments on crystals will be also given. Finally we discuss the construction techniques that we have used to assemble our prototypes and give an overview of the ones that could be industrialized for the construction of a full hermetic calorimeter.

description: We find a simple relation between two-dimensional BPS N=2 superconformal blocks and bosonic Virasoro conformal blocks, which allows us to analyze the crossing equations for BPS 4-point functions in unitary (2,2) superconformal theories numerically with semidefinite programming. We constrain gaps in the non-BPS spectrum through the operator product expansion of BPS operators, in ways that depend on the moduli of exactly marginal deformations through chiral ring coefficients. In some cases, our bounds on the spectral gaps are observed to be saturated by free theories, by N=2 Liouville theory, and by certain Landau-Ginzburg models.

Australian WWII war brides in America: their memories and experiences

description: This thesis is the first in-depth study of the experiences of Australian WWII war brides of American servicemen who went to live in post-war America. By drawing on the oral testimony of 60 of these women, their narrated memories create a rich archive which allows this cohort to articulate their individual wartime experiences and to place them within the context of the national wartime arena where their voices have not previously been heard. This study examines the power of public perceptions during wartime, and challenges the gendered myths and stereotypes relating to young women who married American servicemen. These women were thought to have married hastily before embarking on an adventurous journey to an exciting future in a new land. In extracting evidence from recorded interviews, this thesis reveals the stark realities the Australian war brides faced when they decided to marry an American serviceman, and clearly demonstrates how the experiences of this particular group of women differed greatly from the contemporary stereotypes. The archive created for this study shows the diversity of this cohort, and reveals how their migration experience differed from that of other war brides and other female immigrants to America. The war brides’ testimony uncovers the motivations which influenced their decisions to become US citizens, and the thesis examines their resourcefulness and pro-active approach in dealing with this, and many other challenges they faced, both in Australia and in America. The war brides’ maintenance of strong links with Australia over a sixty-year period shows an enduring attachment to their families and the land of their birth.
