Abstract

This paper explores the relevant space in the transformation of a particular populations in transition. It does this by drawing on data from a women's refuge currently in operation in Southeast Queensland. Specifically, the information presented here describes the significance of the spatial domain in the production of 'independent women'. This is managed by examining a small segment of data from an independent refuge model. Findings from this examination illustrate that space is a key constituent in the production of 'independence' and managing space in a particular way is an important activity in the construction of the 'refuge culture'
