1 [Review Essay] Australian Lives: An Intimate History Shurlee Swain , 2017 single work essay
— Appears in: Australian Historical Studies , vol. 48 no. 4 2017; (p. 604-605)

'The Australian Generations Oral History Project, a collaboration between historians at La Trobe and Monash Universities, the National Library and the Australian Broadcasting Commission ran from 2011 to 2014. By collecting the life stories of 300 volunteers born between the 1920s and the 1980s it aimed to write into history’s big picture the ‘ordinary people’ whose experiences have been too often ignored. The full archive of this project is held by the National Library, accessible either now or later according to the wishes of those interviewed. In Australian Lives: An Intimate History, Anisa Puri and Alistair Thomson draw on fifty of these life histories to bring the outcomes of the project to those who prefer the printed word, and perhaps to tempt them to dip into the larger collection.'  (Introduction)
1 [Review Essay] The Martin Presence: Jean Martin and the Making of the Social Sciences in Australia. Shurlee Swain , 2017 single work essay
— Appears in: Australian Journal of Politics & History , March vol. 63 no. 1 2017; (p. 149-150) 'Jean Martin is acknowledged as a pioneer of the study of sociology in Australia, yet her legacy is often more apparent in the work of colleagues and students for whom she was a formative influence rather than in her published research. This book, produced by three leading sociologists whose careers she helped foster, is an attempt to remedy that gap, drawing on her extensive archive of unpublished as well as published research, and interviews with many of her associates, to reconstruct her intellectual journey as part of the wider story of the development of the discipline.'
