Barriers and facilitators to data-based decision making in Australian early childhood education and care: A qualitative study
Early childhood education and care (ECEC) provides a critical platform for children's development in the early years. To be of benefit to all children, ECEC must deliver on three key areas: availability (quantity), quality and participation (reach and dose). Lead indicators can be derived and applied to help service providers drive equitable systems change. Yet there is little evidence that the ECEC sector is able to utilise lead indicators and d…
Parenting program participation: A mixed methods study of barriers and facilitators in three Australian communities
Openness in donor conception families
Dempsey, Nordqvist and Kelly’s recent publication in BioSocieties highlights the complexity of disclosure in donor conception, which is legally, ethically, and morally challenging. However, contemporary society means that donor-conceived people’s awareness of their conception history can no longer be controlled by their parents. Late, accidental, and non-parent disclosure is becoming more prevalent and can be distressing. Research has consistentl…
Barriers and Enablers to Data-Based Decision Making in Australian Place-Based Community Initiatives: A Qualitative Study Informed by the COM-B Model and Theoretical Domains Framework
This study investigated barriers and enablers to collecting, reporting, and using data and evidence-based lead indicators in decision-making. Four Australian place-based initiatives (PBI) focused on improving child health and reducing inequities participated. Eight interviews with PBI leaders revealed barriers and enablers aligned with all three Capability, Opportunity, and Motivation factors of the COM-B model of behaviour. Difficulties sharing …
Auditing citizen engagement in heritage planning: The views of citizens
Drawing the citizen back into public fora has become the issue of the day in democratic countries around the globe. On the political stage, there is growing alarm over a perceived “democratic deficit,” which has inspired a variety of innovative means of engaging citizens in public policy decisions. This plethora of engagement mechanisms invites the question of how citizens evaluate these engagement opportunities, a question that reveals a decided…
Active conscience or administrative vanguard: The Commissioner of Official Languages as an agent of change
The Commissioner of Official Languages as an officer of Parliament is a unique institution that incorporates multiple roles. Its ombudsman component is enhanced by extensive powers of independent action, which make it an important instrument for holding governmental institutions accountable. Developments in federal language policy since 1980 have given far greater importance to its policy advocacy role, which has been vigorously exercised in lega…
Judicial Activism vs. Restraint: The Role of the Highest Courts in Official Language Policy in Canada and the United States
In past twenty years, both Canada and United States have witnessed significant degree of conflict over language issues. Since passage of of Rights and Freedoms, there has been growing debate about consequent politicization of courts and their role in democratic politics. This issue is joined in Canada because English and French are only two languages, although others are spoken by linguistic minorities and native peoples. In United States, Englis…

Explaining Support for Language Rights: A Comment on “Political Culture and the Problem of Double Standards
In a recent article in this Journal, Paul Sniderman, Joseph Fletcher, Peter Russell and Philip Tetlock characterize the patterns of support for language rights among anglophones and francophones as reflecting the practice of a “double standard,” whereby each group recognizes these rights more readily for themselves than for the other official language group. The authors conclude that two factors, strategic calculation of interests and core politi…
Social versus Political Rights
In the past century, the notion of human rights has expanded significantly to include a variety of social rights. The introduction of this new category of human rights inspired a lively debate concerning the authenticity of such claims, focussing particularly on the ways in which social rights differ from political rights. This article examines the major points at issue in the debate. The important differences emphasized to date are those relatin…
