Exploring the perspectives of Australian neurodivergent university students
More Australian students who are neurodivergent are entering post-secondary education. Experiences of higher education varies for these students. We investigated the university experience of 33 neurodivergent undergraduates in higher education through individual semi-structured interviews. Participants were enrolled in Education or Health Sciences. Data were analysed using thematic analysis and three major themes were identified: lived perspectiv…
Understanding the experiences of neurodivergent research students: A mixed methods systematic review
Research on neurodivergent students in Higher Education has increased but primarily focuses on coursework students, overlooking those in research degrees. To address this gap, we conducted a systematic review about the experience of neurodivergent research students which included a mix of empirical research and reflections on lived experience. Our analysis of 31 included articles identified eight key themes shaping these students’ journeys: (1) a…
Authenticity, Well-Being, and Minority Stress in LGB Individuals: A Scoping Review
In general (i.e. in heteronormative and cisgendered samples), authenticity appears protective against threats to well-being. Authenticity may also, in part, protect well-being against the minority stressors experienced by sexually minoritized (LGB; lesbian, gay, and bisexual) individuals. In this scoping review, we examined the relation between authenticity and well-being in LGB samples experiencing minority stress. We hypothesized that (i) LGB m…
The who, how and what of educational outcome research for autistic students published in the last decade: A systematic quantitative literature review
BACKGROUND: Educational outcome research for autistic school students has expanded rapidly over the past decade, reporting variable results. This variability may be partially due to differences in participants and methods. AIMS: This review examines a decade of autism-focused quantitative research and identifies who and what educational outcome research has reported on and how outcomes were measured. METHODS: Following PRISMA guidelines, ERIC, Sc…

Flowers, Guns, and Money: Joel Roberts Poinsett and the Paradoxes of American Patriotism
Joel Roberts Poinsett is a difficult man to pin down. If we remember him at all, it is in December when the red and green plants that bear his name, poinsettias, hit supermarket shelves. Yet, as historian Lindsay Schakenbach Regele demonstrates in her new monograph, Flowers, Guns, and Money: Joel Roberts Poinsett and the Paradoxes of American Patriotism, Poinsett's life teaches us much more than the history of a plant. As an ambassador and politi…
Autistic Adults’ Reflections on What Supported Their Transitioning from Secondary School
Identifying ways to improve transition support for autistic students exiting secondary school is an important research priority. However, few studies have consulted with autistic/autism community members to identify how to make this support effective. This co-produced study asked autistic adults to reflect on their own transition, with the aim of identifying what was helpful and effective in supporting their transitioning from secondary school. I…
To move, or not to move schools: Decisions made by parents when considering the well-being of their autistic child
Moving between schools is a common experience for autistic students. Despite this, only one study has explored factors which lead to mainstream school mobility for autistic students, and this was for those students with low support needs. The aim of this study was to understand parents’ experiences and decisions around moving their autistic child between mainstream schools. A qualitative method was used to conduct semi-structured interviews with …

Domestic retrofit: Understanding capabilities of micro-enterprise building practitioners
To deliver effective domestic retrofit at scale, it is essential to understand the current and required capabilities of building practitioners working in the repair, maintenance and improvement (RMI) of existing buildings. Capability research in the construction sector has previously focused on large projects, but small, and particularly, micro-firms that undertake RMI and form 77% of workers in construction, are under-researched. This gap is add…

Should we stay or should we go? Parent experiences of moving or considering moving their autistic child between mainstream schools
The majority of autistic students experience numerous difficulties at school, which may contribute to frequent moves between mainstream schools. Despite this, no studies have examined the reasons why autistic students are making non-essential mainstream school moves. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences which led parents to consider moving their child between mainstream schools and the decision-making processes in choosing whether…
Teacher ratings of academic skills and academic enablers of children on the autism spectrum
Academic underachievement, as measured on standardised assessments, is commonly reported among students on the autism spectrum. However, little is known about the factors that predict academic (under)achievement, limiting the development of effective and targeted interventions. This study explored teacher ratings of academic skills and enabling behaviours of a community sample of students on the autism spectrum in Grades K-2 (5–8 years, n = 54) a…
Exploring the impact of a student-centred survival swimming programme for primary school students in Australia: The perceptions of parents, children and teachers
Teaching basic swimming, water safety and rescue skills is recommended by the World Health Organization for all school-aged children. However, there is a lack of evidence on effective pedagogies to develop swimming competency and the success of swimming lessons as a drowning prevention intervention. This study used a self-report questionnaire and practical testing procedures to examine the effectiveness of a 10-week student-centred aquatic progra…
A Conversation about Livingstone Online and the Victorian Record of African Exploration
Livingstone Online is a digital museum and library that provides a global audience with public access to the vast written and visual legacies of David Livingstone (1813–1873), the British Victorian explorer of Africa. The site’s manuscripts span Livingstone’s adult life, ranging from family correspondence written in the 1830s to the field diaries of the 1870s composed in the Congo Basin. Additional illustrations, photographs, and other materials …
Preparing ‘middle actors’ to deliver zero-carbon building transitions
The urgent transition to a zero-carbon economy requires building professionals to be supportive of, and prepared for, delivering zero-carbon buildings. Building professionals are important ‘middle actors’ who can either enable or inhibit such societal transitions. This paper explores building professionals’ perspectives on delivering zero-carbon buildings, leading to a practical synthesis of knowledge and skill requirements and training pathways.…
Online learning for university students on the autism spectrum: A systematic review and questionnaire study
Online course delivery is increasingly being used by universities to deliver accessible and flexible learning environments. As this mode of delivery grows it is important to consider the equity of the learning experience for all students. As online delivery may reduce challenges and stressors present in face-to-face delivery, it could be suggested that it may promote student learning for specific student groups, including those with a diagnosis o…
A review of research into stakeholder perspectives on inclusion of students with autism in mainstream schools
Increasing numbers of students with autism are being educated in mainstream schools. However, outcomes for students with autism are poor when compared to typical students and students with other developmental disabilities. In order to better understand facilitators and barriers to success at school for students with autism, research into the attitudes of key stakeholders, educators, parents, people with autism, to inclusion in mainstream schools …
Dropping Out or Signing Up? The Professionalisation of Youth Travel
Leaving school and dropping out of employment or further education was once an act of rebellion by cohorts of young people expressing anti-establishment sentiments. Now it has become a neoliberal market place in the UK. Over the last five years the “gap year” has changed from a radical activity, dominated by charities and inspired by the travel of the hippie generation, to an institutionally accepted commercial gap year industry which helps form …
‘Doing development’: The gap year, volunteer‐tourists and a popular practice of development
Over the last ten years the gap year has become a popular and publicly recognized phenomenon. One of the most visible forms of this phenomenon has been the emergence of ‘third world’ volunteer‐tourism programmes, which seek to combine the hedonism of tourism with the altruism of development work. Such programmes make the practice of international development doable, knowable and accessible to young travellers. This paper seeks to critique the con…
