All Welcome
Invitation to School of Psychology (SoP) April Colloquium Presented by Dr Alina Ewald.
You are invited to attend the SoP April Colloquium Presented by Dr Alina Ewald.
- Date: 24th April 2024
- Time: 2:00pm - 3:00pm
- Location: Bankstown City Campus, Level 8, Conference Room 1 (and via zoom)
- Title: Knowing your place: The role of occupational status in fathers’ flexible working
Presentation Summary
Dr Alina Ewald will be providing an overview of her research on how white-collar working fathers navigate the work-family nexus, and how they construct, experience, and negotiate flexible working arrangements to fulfill their caregiving responsibilities. The presentation will specifically focus on the influence of occupational status – that is, where a person’s work role sits in the organisational hierarchy - on a father’s ability to engage with flexible working. The presentation will outline how constructions that stem from socio-moral, economic, organisational, and sociocultural contexts, operate to shape and constrain men’s choices and practices in relation to navigating paid work and parenting. Alina will discuss the implications of her research findings for men’s ability to balance paid work and fathering.
Biography:
Alina is a fathering and work-family scholar, she completed her PhD in Psychology at Western Sydney University in early 2022. Her research explores fathering identities, fathering practices, and fatherhood models, and examines the organisational and societal acceptance of men modifying their paid work for caregiving purposes. Alina’s research focuses on investigating the impact of flexible working arrangements in employee’s achieving work-family balance and work-life balance, and she explores the intricate power dynamics that influence perceptions and experiences of workplace practices and policies more broadly.

Current Students and Staff

Join us for our Women (seen) lunchtime talk, Intercultural Sister Kin-a talk with Marian Abboud and Vicki Van Hout.
Marian is a Western Sydney based socially engaged artist of Lebanese heritage who graduated from the University of Western Sydney with a Bachelor of Visual Communication. She is passionate about creating meaning across perceived borders of place, language, and identity. She has exhibited extensively locally and nationally and has collaborated on many dance and performance-based projects including Volume at the AGNSW, Mona Foma in Hobart, 24 Frames, Carriageworks, and her recent performance, Not Her Reflection, a travelling performance at Artspace. FCMG, Granville Art Centre, Pari and UTS Library.
Vicki Van Hout’s First Nations heritage hails from Wiradjuri country in far Western NSW and she has Dutch, English and Afghan roots as well. Vicki has dedicated her career to Indigenous arts practice as a graduate of NAISDA, Australia ‘s premier Indigenous Dance College. Vicki returned from New York after graduating from Martha Graham School of Contemporary Dance NYC to dance with both leading Aboriginal dance companies Bangarra Dance Theatre and AIDT. Vicki has won the prestigious Australia Council For The Arts Dance Awards and is the current recipient of Creating Australia's Dance Fellowship.
Marian Abboud and Vicki Van Hout's careers crossed paths as part of a speed dating event pairing multiple dancers with visual artists to then make a pitch to the joint organisers Parramatta Artists Studios and FORM Dance Projects (then known as Western Sydney Dance Action). They won with a work titled Behind The Zig Zag.
Approximately fifteen years later Abboud and Van Hout have maintained their collaborative partnership which can be distilled as a continuing cultural exploration examining the ways Abboud's Lebanese and Van Hout's Indigenous heritages intersect including paradigms surrounding temporality, being, belief and magic.
Their talk will focus on the way they navigate kinship structures, more specifically Marian’s inclusion of her immediate family in the process of her solo, and their combined image making.
