Reaffirming the Campus as a Sacred Space
In light of the considerable transformations in higher education that have had an impact on traditional campus experiences, this paper explores the role of university campuses as sacred spaces for young people. In particular, it examines the significance of the material environment in shaping young peoples’ experiences and social memberships within higher education institutions. Drawing on qualitative research, namely digital walkthrough intervie…
The sticky campus in Japan
In response to a globalised education context that places increasing pressure on higher education institutions for pedagogical innovation and reform, universities are attempting to carve out more meaningful identities through reimagining campus design. As universities introduce more decentralised spaces, from strictly learning environments to a more collaborative organisation, the boundaries between these and other spaces become more fluid, redef…
How to Live Communally Amidst Doubts
A critical examination of informal learning spaces
Globally, the future of the higher education sector is under increasing scrutiny, and questions are being asked about the relevance of universities as traditional sites of teaching and learning. In an effort to adapt to the complexities that beset the higher education environment, universities are exploring the utility and benefits offered through informal learning spaces. However, the emergence of informal learning spaces raises important questi…
Broadcasting the Bieber Republic
This article provides a critical analysis of “#thatPOWER”—a music video featuring will.i.am and Justin Bieber. This analysis focuses on the tensions and binary oppositions depicted in the video that pertain to social and geographic placement (e.g., “race,” gender, religion). Social science scholarship on youth and Wendy Brown’s account of neoliberalism are drawn on to argue that while “#thatPOWER” emphasizes individual agency and social advanceme…
Unlocking Hikikomori
This article provides an interdisciplinary exploration of the ways in which social isolation is constructed in institutional and public imaginaries. It examines the discursive devices that produce hikikomori subjectivities, with a particular focus on the existence of an enduring deviant construct. Despite largely existing in the private sphere, hikikomori are positioned as residing outside of the prevailing system of social relationships and as s…
Evaluating the health impacts of participation in Australian community arts groups
This study evaluates the impacts of three well-established community arts programmes in Victoria, Australia, on the mental health and well-being outcomes of participants typically from disadvantaged backgrounds during 2006-07. It employs a theoretical framework that reconciles evidence-based practice in health and the phenomenological nature of community arts practice. Self-determination theory (SDT) was used to do this with SDT-derived psychomet…
How schools can move beyond exclusion
Healthy learning environments for young people are underpinned by respectful relationships. Unfortunately, Australian students who do not form reasonable relationships with peers and staff are unlikely to benefit from being at school. These students tend to disengage and are often excluded. However, a growing number of Australian schools have moved beyond exclusion as their default response in dealing with such students. In asking themselves Afte…
Evaluating community outcomes of participation in community arts
VicHealth's Community Arts Development Scheme (CADS) funded three community arts organizations to work with people from marginalized or disadvantaged communities, to provide opportunities for personal and community development through the arts. This article investigates how CADS engages the public in thinking about and discussing social issues and, more generally, the role of community arts practice in promoting civic dialogue. A mixed method app…
How do Different Exporters React to Exchange Rate Changes?
This article analyzes the heterogeneous reaction of exporters to real exchange rate changes using a very rich French firm-level data set with destination-specific export values and volumes on the period 1995–2005. We find that high–performance firms react to a depreciation by increasing significantly more their markup and by increasing less their export volume. This heterogeneity in pricing-to-market is robust to different measures of performance…
Contextualising the self and social change making
This article presents the findings of an evaluation of an innovative Australian social entrepreneurship and leadership program to highlight some of the challenges young social change makers face as they attempt to influence change in their local, national and international environments. Through an investigation of an innovative Australian social entrepreneurship program, this article demonstrates how reflexive, communicative and participatory pra…
Intervention in a 'Divided World
In the post-2001 era, many fear that the ‘international community’ that had been developing in the years after the Cold War is becoming irremediably divided. Challenges to the ‘international community’ have come from such radically disparate quarters as US unilateralism and Islamicist attacks on ‘Western’ internationalism. Many worry that such divisions will severely hamper the ability of the international community to intervene in local crises, …
