Agency and leadership by Indigenous education workers for family-school-community engagement
This paper presents a single-site case study to explicate some of the issues that relate to developing a genuine and successful role for Indigenous education workers (IEWs) especially those who reside in remote Australian communities. It draws attention to the lost opportunities for agency and leadership in culturally relevant literacy teaching with families, schools and community. The study employs a social justice framework to explore a theory …
Sustainable commercialization of new crops for the agricultural bioeconomy
Diversification of agroecological systems to enhance agrobiodiversity is likely to be critical to advancing environmental, economic, and social sustainability of agriculture. Temperate-zone agroecological systems that are currently organized for production of summer-annual crops can be diversified by integration of fallow-season and perennial crops. Integration of such crops can improve sustainability of these agroecological systems, with minimal…
In the name of meritocracy: Managers' Perceptions of Policies and Practices for Training Older Workers
Workplaces, managers and employers who are seeking to maintain the standing, capacities and productivity of their workplaces are now facing two crucial facts: (a) an ageing workforce and (b) all workers, regardless of age, need to adapt to the changing requirements for workplace performance. These facts mean that managers and supervisors need to confront issues found in the changing demographics of their own workforce. That is, as the portion of …
Mature age ‘white collar’ workers’ training and employability
Global concerns about the growing impact of ageing populations on workplace productivity and on welfare budgets have led to a range of governmentsupported measures intended to retain and upskill older workers. Yet, a consistent theme in the research literature is that older workers are reluctant and harder to train than younger workers, and that, regardless, employers are ambivalent about supporting such training. However, a survey of over 250 ma…
The discursive (re)positioning of older workers in Australian recruitment policy reform: An exemplary analysis of written and visual narratives
Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to provide a methodological demonstration of how written and visual language in narrative and small stories about older workers might be read in multiple ways as supporting and/or constraining recent policy reform. Design/methodology/approach - Critical theory and critical discourse analysis, supported by narrative analysis and visual analysis, offer a robust methodology to problematize the manner in which t…
P2-28 From protocol to progress: Establishing a registry of children and young people with diabetes in North East England and North Cumbria
Introduction The changing nature of diabetes in the young has underlined the importance of reliable data on where and how patients with diabetes present and live. In the former northern health region of England, an area encompassing North East England and North Cumbria, intriguing patterns in incidence and relationships with socio-economic status have been identified. The study aimed to establish a diabetes registry for children and young people …
Comparisons of cognitive ability and job attitudes of older and younger workers
Purpose Advancing knowledge about effectively managing the ageing workforce and ensuring economic sustainability for a growing retired cohort is a recognised priority for organisational health researchers, employers and governments. The purpose of this paper is to test social perceptions that older workers' cognitive performance and job attitudes compare adversely to their younger colleagues. Design/methodology/approach The research assessed samp…
Negotiating multiple identities between school and the outside world: A critical discourse analysis
This article examines interview talk of three students in an Australian high school to show how they negotiate their young adult identities between school and the outside world. It draws on Bakhtin's concepts of dialogism and heteroglossia to argue that identities are linguistically and corporeally constituted. A critical discourse analysis of segments of transcribed interviews and student-related public documents finds a mismatch between a socia…
Making visible an ideological dilemma in an interview narrative about social trauma
This article builds on contemporary understandings that identity is accomplished interactionally and discursively through storyteller/interviewer engagement inside the telling of the story. It introduces a new notion of narrative inquiry through the concept of “transactional positioning” to achieve an imagined interaction between a listener outside the institutional interview context and a tale told in an interview narrative some time ago. Texts …

Manhood, Scholarship, Perseverance, Uplift, and Elementary Students: An Example of School and Community Collaboration
Dr. Larry D. Fields, the former principal of Rowland H. Latham Elementary, led the development of a complementary learning model that became known as the Latham Way. The Latham Way produced remarkable academic success among poor minority students. The chi-square of the expected and the actual scores in reading and mathematics were significant at p
Organizational Restructuring and Middle Manager Sensemaking.
This longitudinal, qualitative study examined “sensemaking” during an imposed shift from hierarchical to decentralized organization. We identified a “replacement” pattern of schema development in w...
Orienting to the category “ordinary – but special” in an Australian-Italian courtship and marriage narrative
This article explores the possibilities of working ethnomethodological and conversation analysis methods into narrative analytic research, in relation to the understanding of narrative practices and identity work carried out in the course of the interview interaction. More specifically, we discuss how a storyteller (Olivia) in a research interview inserts a complaint story about her mother's intense objection to her choice of partner, into a rela…
Reconceptualising the visual in narrative inquiry into teaching
Using visual narrative and poststructuralism to (re)read a student teacher's professional practice
A Cautionary Tale: A Dialogic Re-reading of a Student Teacher’s Visual Narrative
In the past, narrative inquiry into teaching has relied mostly on written materials in the form of autobiographies, biographies and personal diaries and journals. This paper changes the focus from the written mode to the visual-verbal by examining one student-teacher’s hand drawn picture book as a representation of her becoming a teacher. The analytic aim is to produce a re-reading of one student teacher’s text that extends and critiques her “com…
Stories of Courtship and Marriage: Orientations in Openings
This paper presents initial analyses of the opening sequences of a number of courtship and marriage stories told by elderly Italian-Australians. Using a conversation-analytic perspective, the paper contributes to the study of how storytelling is a co-construction of teller and audience. The focus is on how the storyteller(s) and the interviewer, referring to a list of topics that might be covered in the story, negotiate how the story should be to…
Telling Tales: A Complicated Narrative About Courtship
This paper presents a progressive understanding of the shifting power relations that are constructed in the telling of a courtship and marriage narrative by an Australian-Italian couple who have been married for well over thirty years. The focus on relations of power is pursued through attention to aspects of the sequenced talk to show how the couple work together to tell the interviewer a newsworthy story that is "old news" to each other. The us…
Determinants of Attendance and Patient Satisfaction At Eye Clinics in South-Western Uganda
PURPOSE: To identify the reasons for subjects deciding to attend or not attend local and referral ophthalmology clinics in south-west Uganda, and to establish the levels of satisfaction of clinic attenders with the services they received. METHODS: A population survey identified subjects with ocular conditions who were referred to the local clinic or the district hospital. All non-attenders and a group of attenders were interviewed at home. RESULT…
Stress and Distress among Gulf of Mexico Shrimp Fishermen
Previous research documents that shrimp fishing is physically and mentally challenging work. Workers typically encounter intense exposure to such stressors as work overload, concerns about safety, dangerous weather conditions, and separation from family. In addition, recent regulatory changes and increased competition from imported shrimp have intensified the difficulties U.S. shrimpers face. From Fall 1993 through Fall 1994, data were collected …
Reframing teacher education and teaching: From personalism to post-personalism
Independence and Collective Action: Reconsidering Union Activity among Commercial Fishermen in Mississippi
Recent articles published in this journal by Pollnac and Poggie (1991) and Durrenberger (1992) have presented contrasting views on commercial fishermen's independence and inclination to act collectively. The respective claims of the two articles are evaluated in the context of recent social scientific theory and research on unionism and the labor movement. Further, historical evidence of collective organizing, including documentary records and co…

On the face of it, there ought to be many similarities between the heyday of imperialism in South and Southeast Asia. Both areas, it can be said, experienced a long period of colonial rule, and in both cases the European regimes grew out of the enterprise of small trading companies who had ventured to the Indian Ocean area in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries in search of exotic items for trade. In both cases the subsequent histo…

The Evolution of George Johnston’s David Meredith
IT has been overlooked that George Johnston's character, David Meredith, did not spring fully-formed from the pages of My Brother Jack to be developed in Clean Straw for Nothing and A Cartload of Clay. Two earlier novels, Closer to the Sun (1960) and The Far Road (1962), both feature versions of this character under the same name, versions which not only foreshadow the guilt-ridden seeker for patterns in the later trilogy but which also can add t…
