Following on from the Honours project's concerns with tenure and accessibility, the PhD looked into housing as a basic provision and a site from which action for sustainability can go forth, and as a fundamental component and determinant of urban form. I also investigated the interface and overlap between radical democracy and urban ecology as manifest and highlighted by the home.

This site provides links to images from my fieldwork with Pinakarri in Fremantle, Western Australia and Christie Walk in Adelaide, South Australia. There are links to an exceptionally brief reading list of my current and some longstanding favourites and to the full bibliography. There is a page of links to other useful websites (not by any means exhaustive, more a reflection of particular areas of inquiry) and to some earlier papers I've written.

A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Macquarie University, New South Wales. January 2006.

The author asserts her rights, right here. Correct reference to this thesis is:

Crabtree L A (2006) Messy humans, dirty economies and leaky houses: citizenship, sustainable livelihoods and housing in Australia. Unpublished Doctoral thesis, Department of Human Geography, Macquarie University. http://www.thirdangel.com/sustainability/phd/phd_index.html

Also, don't download any of this or my papers, chop it up some and then hand it in to me as an essay. That will get you thrown out of uni and get academics telling jokes about you at dinner parties for years to come. Research, yes. Plagiarise, meh.
