‘Towards electric vehicle misinformation communities: Shared narratives, networked validation, and reassurance among Australian consumers
Electric vehicles (EVs) provide a pathway to sustainable transport systems. Yet public understanding of EVs is shaped by contested information environments in which misinformation circulates alongside facts. Existing EV misinformation research has largely focused on individual EV beliefs, attitudes, and information deficits. However, less is known about how EV misinformation becomes socially meaningful in everyday life. Drawing on qualitative eth…
The role of agency in social justice education: Insights from a practising inclusion in higher education micro-credential
Progress towards more inclusive practices and social justice remains high on the agenda of the higher education sector globally. Although there are many professional development offerings for academic teachers, this paper adds to the growing body of research examining what it takes to practise inclusion from a social justice perspective. This study explored the role of agency for academics in a practising inclusion micro-credential. The study was…
Repressive Equality Regimes: How Diversity, Equality and Inclusion Initiatives Constrain Equality and Conceal Politics at Work
This paper examines how diversity, equality and inclusion initiatives (DEI) hinder better outcomes for the workforce labelled as diverse. Fieldwork in three Australian organisations demonstrated that the lack of progress towards equality was not just caused by the persistence of inequality but by how the practice of equality perpetuated a repressive status quo. Bringing together Joan Acker’s ‘inequality regimes’ and Herbert Marcuse’s ‘repressive …
Advancing inclusive practices in higher education: Possibilities and limitations of a social justice professional development course
Research on widening the participation of historically underrepresented university students tends to focus on student preparation and the structural adjustments needed to attract and retain them. Few studies have examined how to prepare university staff for the diversity of students that comes with such widening participation programmes. This paper contributes to this gap by discussing the impact that a professional development course on practisi…
The Role of Care Paradoxes in Maintaining Precariousness: A Case Study of Australia's Aged Care Work
The paper examines why despite many inquiries and government reforms, the working conditions of aged care workers have remained precarious. The study draws on an analysis of Australian workforce survey data, government documents, and hearing transcripts from a recent Royal Commission into the sector's workforce and care practices. The results paint a complex and nuanced picture of how the government and providers rely on older or culturally and l…
Philanthropy and Indigenous Initiatives: Insights From Australian Donors
This paper draws on a survey and interview data, collected from a group of 180 donors who made monetary gifts to an Australian higher education institution, to better understand what drives individuals and organisations to donate to Indigenous initiatives. The analysis helped to identify five types of donors: the Advocate and Prescriptive donors, the supporter types who donate to Australian Indigenous initiatives and the Constrained, Reserved and…
Why and how academics become interdisciplinary researchers early in their careers
The complexity of interdisciplinary research, including the time needed to understand multiple approaches and develop skills, within a university structure organised in disciplines, means that interdisciplinary research can be difficult for a developing researcher.However, early-and mid-career researchers (EMCRs) are key to the future of interdisciplinary research.This paper asks, 'Why and how do EMCRs become interdisciplinarians?' It draws on an…
The Academisation of Emerging Professions: Implications for Universities, Academics and Students
Although Australian universities have delivered professional education alongside liberal education since their inception, the more recent introduction of emerging professions into universities' curricula indicates a greater blurring of the boundaries within the higher education sector, where universities are increasingly delivering courses formerly within the realm of technical or further education colleges. This vocationalisation of universities…
Teratogenic effect of the water extract of bitter gourd ( Momordica charantia ) on the sprague dawley rats
It has been reported that the water extract of the whole unripe fruit of Momordica charantia can significantly reduce blood glucose levels. However the safety of its use during pregnancy has not been fully investigated. The aim of this investigation is to determine the safety of this extract during pregnancy. The water extract of the unripe fruit was given to pregnant Sprague Dawley rats on days 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 of gestation. The li…
Steroidogenic Enzyme Histochemistry In The Testis Of Sprague Dawley Rats Following The Administration The Water Extracts From Carica Papaya Seed
Water extracts from pawpaw seed have been reported to reversibly decrease the testicular weight and to suppress spermatogenesis, and fertility of Wistar rats. The reversible changes become evident, 30 - 45 days after the withdrawal of the extract. The possible effect of this extract on the activities of steroidogenic enzymes of the testis has not been investigated. Water extract of papaya seeds was administered to male Sprague Dawley rats ad libi…
