Layering and affect in commemoration
Tokens of love and loss
The museum space is continually evolving and, not surprisingly, we have seen significant and rapid expansion in both digitized records and online exhibitions, especially since the COVID‐19 pandemic of 2020–2023. In this article we examine three comparable museum collections of tokens of love and loss in the Foundling Museum in London, the Museo degli Innocenti in Florence, and the National Museum of Australia in Canberra. Using a case study appro…
Exhibiting Holden
Holden is arguably the most important vehicle brand in Australian transport history. As a result, it is intimately tied to the cultural, social and economic history of the nation. This paper discusses the tension that emerges, and the issues faced when trying to bring Holden, and all it represents, into the museum space and tell its complex story to a diverse and changing public audience. The task has been magnified, facilitated and made more urg…
Parties, preferences and influence in legislative decision-making
Political scientists have a long-standing interest in the acquisition and exercise of power in democratic institutions. Although considerable attention has been devoted to understanding the role of political parties in legislative decision-making, empirical studies relying upon observational data, such as roll call voting, have faced difficulty in disentangling the effects of party and preferences on legislative behavior. This research uses new m…
I have just written a song which came out of my soul
The death of President John F. Kennedy in November 1963 drew a mass outpouring of public and private grief. Thousands of people from all over the world sent condolence messages to his widow, Jacqueline Kennedy. They also sent pieces of music, sometimes hurriedly composed, in response to their overwhelming grief. Most of these pieces have never been heard and sit in a silent archive. This essay examines the condolence music composed for Kennedy, f…
Guiding the Wobbly Hand of Justice
The Council for Aboriginal Rights (CAR) was formed in Melbourne in 1951 in response to strikes by Indigenous workers in Darwin for better wages and conditions. Representing a significant shift in Aboriginal rights advocacy, from labour strike to public organisation, CAR lobbied government, gathered and disseminated information, and built a network of activists. This paper focusses on the formative years of CAR, as a pivotal organisation that brid…
Kurdish Refugee Beliefs about Mental Health and Help-Seeking
Refugee populations exhibit high rates of PTSD, anxiety, depression, and psychological distress, but are less likely to receive care than the general population. Perceptions among the Kurdish refugee community about causes and consequences of mental illness symptoms and perceived barriers to help-seeking are understudied. This community-engaged research study conducted in-depth interviews with Kurdish refugees from Iraq to explore their beliefs a…
Foundling museums
Exhibition design matters. It determines the way objects are presented, the stories they tell and the way visitors experience them. Using theories of vital materiality and affect as entry points into understanding visitor experience better, this paper explores and compares our affective responses as visitor-researchers to the exhibition designs of foundling tokens at the Foundling Museum in London and the Museum of the Ospedale degli Innocenti in…
Documentation of Psychosocial Distress and Its Antecedents in Children with Rare or Life-Limiting Chronic Conditions
Children with rare or life-limiting chronic conditions and their families are at high risk of psychosocial distress. However, despite its impact on patient and family health and functioning, psychosocial distress and its antecedents may not routinely be captured in medical records. The purpose of this study was to characterize current medical record documentation practices around psychosocial distress among children with rare or life-limiting chr…

Coordinating Clinical Rotations During the Novel Corona Virus 2 Pandemic
BACKGROUND: The outbreak of COVID-19 cases and deaths caused havoc in the medical, social, and education arenas, turning the normal routine into a new normal. Health care facilities across the state of Florida closed clinical training sites. Nursing students who were in scheduled clinical rotations suddenly were removed from assigned clinical sites. When students were no longer able to attend their clinical rotations due to COVID-19, panic ensued…
Radicals
This book begins with Timothy Noah’s observation from a 1984 article that ‘The Woodstock generation will go to its grave with a sense that it is special’ (epigraph). Noah also knew, although not qu
Babel of the Atlantic
From the title of Babel of the Atlantic I expected it to discuss a variety of linguistic groups in a transnational context. I was wrong on both counts. The book concentrates on the greater Philadelphia region, including Bethlehem and Germantown, and takes a broad view of language. Consequently, the book is more fulsome in its approach than I imagined, yet is quite narrow in its topic choices. It does, however, nod to more traditional idea of tran…
The Sage Handbook of Human Trafficking and Modern Day Slavery
Millions of people around the world are forced to work without pay and under threat of violence. These individuals can be found working in brothels, factories, mines, farm field, restaurants, construction sites and private homes: many have been tricked by human traffickers and lured by false promises of good jobs or education, some are forced to work at gunpoint, while others are trapped by phony debts from unscrupulous moneylenders. The SAGE Han…
Rethinking the Admissions Interview
Health profession programs routinely utilize traditional interviews in admissions as a means of assessing important non-academic characteristics (e.g., critical thinking, interpersonal skills, judgment) of candidates. However, the reliability and validity of traditional interviews is highly questionable. Given this, multiple health profession programs (e.g., medicine, nursing, pharmacy, physical therapy) have implemented multiple mini-interviews …

In the shadow of Sputnik
This paper examines prime minister Robert Menzies decision to support science education in Australian schools in 1963. This was a landmark shift in policy for the federal government, but in many ways mirrors the decision of Eisenhower who brought down the National Defense Education Act (NDEA) in 1958. The paper uses a transnational approach to offer a new way of looking at the 1963 decision by focusing on the need for science education and the en…

Surprise Me!’ The (im)possibilities of agency and creativity within the standards framework of history education
In the current culture of regulation in higher education and, in turn, the history discipline, it is timely to problematize discipline standards in relation to student agency and creativity. This article argues that through the inclusion of a critical orientation and engaged pedagogy, historians have the opportunity to bring a more agentic dimension to the disciplinary conversation. Discipline standards privilege that arrogant historical moment i…
Power in Firm Networks
Christopherson S., Clark J. (2007) Power in firm networks: what it means for regional innovation systems, Regional Studies 41, 1223–1236. The role of power within regional firm networks is noted in empirical studies but insufficiently theorized. It is suggested that network functioning is conflictual and that more powerful network members, particularly transnational corporations (TNCs), leverage regional resources to advance their sustainable com…
Authority from Grief, Presence and Place in the Making of Roadside Memorials
Those who make memorials for the victims of motor vehicle crashes assume an authority to do so that stems from three main elements of experience: the overwhelming empowerment of grief; the belief that the presence of the deceased can be felt and recognized; and the understanding that the place where life was lost is a special place for memorialization. The strength of grief, the power of presence and the importance of place allows ordinary people…
Integrating Investment and Equity
Since the 1980s, different conceptions of regionalism have emerged, reflecting distinct perspectives on place and space and a variety of policy orientations. The debates in planning over which regional policies are both “equitable” and “democratic” have been intense. This article clarifies these debates through a critical regionalist approach to the two prominent “regionalisms,” investment and distributive. This article then proposes how to stren…

This Special Shell”
Religious, congregational, individual, and community memories are embodied in church buildings. Under normal circumstances these memories sit harmoniously together. Once the church building is destined for closure, however, the equilibrium of the memory platforms is disrupted, often causing conflict. The value of associating memory with a building is questioned, especially when such attachments are seen to impede the rationalisation of church ass…

Applying Standards to Tertiary-Level History
This paper discusses the challenges of applying standards to the teaching of tertiary-level history. It gives a critical overview of the emerging standards process in Australia, re-emphasising the importance of disciplinary input in producing a workable and acceptable regulatory framework under the aegis of Australia’s recently-established Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency (TEQSA). To this end, it argues for the importance of buildi…
The 'rough and tumble
The motor museum is traditionally a place to present motor vehicles as objects of art, speed and prestige to be admired and cherished by enthusiasts. At the same time, some museums have tried to present motor vehicles within a social history context, largely in order to attract a wider visitor base. Even so, transport museums and motor museums more specifically have considerable difficulty in displaying the more complex story of motoring, which t…

This paper examines the process of identifying current thinking in the specific SoTL of History, especially the teaching of historical thinki…

The author notes that recent scholarship has been seen to express an interest in the proliferation of roadside memorials as they present evidence of motoring’s darker side. In this paper, the author explores this darker side of history, showing how memorial practices have changed over time and how the idea of motoring heritage continuously challenges the p…

The Portland police are becoming more citizen based. Top-down planning for youth employment t…

The Impact of Church Closure on Australian Popular Culture
Our president too’
John Kennedy may have been President of the United States but to many Australians he was ‘our president too’. This article uses condolence material to interpret the response of Australians to the Kennedy assassination as part of the popular culture of the Australian‐American relationship. Kennedy was mourned as a personal friend, a supporter of conservative domestic values, a successful Catholic role model, the spokesman for youth and a cold warr…
The Wind of Change’ in Australia
Historians a determining and defining role to the Civil Rights movement.1 They see in the struggle for racial equality the emergence of contemporary American heroes; a model for other oppressed groups needing a method, a vocabulary, and an ideology; the identification of consciousness-raising as the key to changes in behaviour; and even the beginnings of the elusive essence which defined 'the '60s'. According to Milton Viorst, 'for most Americans…

Small Mid-Pleistocene Hominin Associated with East African Acheulean Technology
Hominin fossils from the African mid-Pleistocene are rare despite abundant Acheulean tools in Africa and apparently African-derived hominins in Eurasia between 1.0 and 0.5 million years ago (Ma). Here we describe an African fossil cranium constrained by 40 Ar/ 39 Ar analyses, magnetostratigraphy, and sedimentary features to 0.97 to 0.90 Ma, and stratigraphically associated with Acheulean handaxes. Although the cranium represents possibly the smal…
Rip by the Roadside
The comparative study of roadside memorials in New South Wales, Australia, and Texas, United States, raises questions about the consistency in memorial form and practice between societies with diverse ethnic and religious profiles and different historical backgrounds. This article compares roadside memorials in two societies, and suggests that ethnic and sub-group affiliation accounts for local and individual differences in what is essentially an…
