Dr Peter Kelly, School of Political and Social Inquiry, Monash UniversityPhone: +61 9903 1237 Peter's research interests currently cover the following areas: New York Ethics: A research program being developed with colleagues at Oxford University and the University of Hull (UK) exploring the emergence of new work identities, obligations, and responsibilities in a globalised risk economy, and the ways these concerns find expression in discussions about professionalisation, work related stress and Work Life Balance. The Australian Football League (AFL) Research Board has funded a 12 month research project during 2004 that is closely related to these interests. The project - titled Getting the Balance Right: Professionalism, Performance, Prudentialism and Playstations in the Life of AFL Footballers - is conducting research related to the professional development of AFL players, and the relationships between this professional development and player performance. Of interest are two related concerns: How professional footballers prepare themselves for a life after football; How professional footballers develop balance in their lives so that their performance as professionals is enhanced. With AFL players under constant public scrutiny for their off and on field performances, it is becomming clear that some are finding it hard to balance the expectations that go with being a professional footballer. This research is providing valuable insights into what it takes to be a professional footballer in the highly competitive, high media profile context of the AFL - and the tensions that exist between different players, coachers and club officials, and industry executives about what a job description for a professional footballer actually looks like. Youth Studies: I have ane xtensive research back ground in the area of youth at-risk, and a developing research program with colleagues at the Unviersity of Glasgow (UK) and Deakin University looking at two related areas - young people as workers, and young people as university students. A common theme in these projects is the way in which youth transitions - and the family, employment, study and peer relationships shaped by these processes of transition - are being remade by the emergence of a globalised Knowledge Economy. Community and Government in advanced Liberal democracies: A research program examining the ways in which community emerges as a space of government, and the ways in which this space is shaped by social class, ethnicity, age and geography.
