Female Convicts as Women Travellers: an investigation into how the itineraries of convict experience affected life narratives

对于被送往澳大利亚的有罪妇女，交通工具？意味着国际旅行。通过将罪犯映射为旅行者，该项目将为女性提供一个新的视角，这些女性的罪犯行程从根本上影响了她们的生活方向。该项目注意到时间和地点的细节，调查了作为罪犯的共同航行既不是旅行的开始也不是结束的女性的囚禁和非囚禁经历。这项研究包括对三艘在运输处于鼎盛时期驶往范迪门之地的船只进行系统的整群抽样：和谐号(1829)、阿特威克号(1838)和伊丽莎白和亨利号(1847)。

For convict women sent to Australia, ?transportation? meant international travel. By mapping the convicts as travellers, this project will afford a new perspective on women whose convict itineraries radically affected the direction of their lives. Alert to the specifics of time and place, the project investigates the carceral and non-carceral experiences of women whose shared voyage as convicts was neither the beginning nor the end of their travels. The research involves a systematic cluster sampling of three ships which sailed to Van Diemen's Land while transportation was at its height: the Harmony (1829), Atwick (1838), and Elizabeth and Henry (1847).
