Academic casualisation and precarity
Worldwide there are significant and growing concerns about the increasing number of academics working on short-term contracts (referred to as adjunct faculty, contingent faculty, casual academics, sessionals, etc.). These concerns include working conditions and the consequences of casualised labour practices on higher education. However, the number of empirical studies that speak directly to these issues is relatively small. This scoping review, …
‘It's still abuse’
There are growing concerns about AI-generated image-based sexual abuse (AI-IBSA), also known as nonconsensual sexualized ′deepfakes.′ Empirical research on AI-IBSA, however, remains very limited. This study surveyed 7231 respondents across Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States to investigate community attitudes and perceptions on AI-IBSA. Through a vignette study, we explored the relationship between public familiarity with AI-IBSA…
I think I misspoke earlier. My bad!’
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) tools that appear to perform with care and empathy can quickly gain users’ trust. For this reason, GenAI tools that attempt to replicate human responses have heightened potential to misinform and deceive people. This article examines how three GenAI tools, within divergent contexts, mimic credible emotional responsiveness: OpenAI’s ChatGPT, the National Eating Disorder Association’s Tessa and Luka’s Repl…
Co-designing inclusive war memorials for metaphoric symbolism
This article profiles the development of the Melbourne Korean War Memorial and shows how a memorial can provide a sense of inclusion by considering symbolism in all aspects of design. We argue that through metaphoric symbolism we can demonstrate a contemporary memorial as an educational tool for all visitors and future generations, while honouring the sacrifice of servicemen and women. We focus on co-design research to examine how facilitated eng…
Towards a National Data Architecture for Cultural Collections
This article summarises the aims, methods, information architecture, outputs, and innovations of the Australian Cultural Data Engine (ACD-Engine), a project that harnesses leading cultural databases to build bridges to research, industry, and government. The project investigates digital heritage collections, data ontologies, and interoperability, building an information architecture to enhance the open sharing of Australian cultural data. Working…
The community engagement for impact (Cefi) framework
Higher education’s focus is shifting to include societal impact alongside academic excellence. While community-engaged scholarship has a long history, many initiatives focus on individual researchers or institutional practices, without accounting for disciplinary and geopolitical contexts. The Community Engagement for Impact (CEFI) Framework and the Contextual Model of Community Engagement (CMCE) are based on findings of an in-depth, qualitative …
Urban children and adolescents’ perspectives on the importance of nature
People who regard nature as important and personally meaningful are often compelled to conserve it. This compulsion is increasingly vital in a world where global climate and biodiversity crises are worsening, with younger generations set to bear most of the resulting ecological burden. By understanding why children and adolescents value nature, we can gain insights into how they might act for its benefit. In this study, we asked over 1000 Austral…
Technological opportunities for procedural justice in welfare administration
Welfare agencies are increasingly turning to technology to facilitate information-sharing and communication with users. However, while the administrative, governmental and material effects of technological advances have been examined, research has yet to explore how welfare users could make use of technology for their benefit. In this article, we examine the extent to which available technologies allow Australian separated mothers to assemble and…
It’s a New Year…So Let’s Stop the Paradigm Wars
Digitalactivism
This paper reports on the findings of a study that explores the ways in which civil society organizations use new media to engage in campaigns of political action. Focusing on campaigning by the environmental movement in Tasmania around the protection of native forest, the study investigates how stakeholders on this issue utilize the functionality of digital media to mobilize public engagement and, ultimately, influence the formulation of policy.…
Parents as Coresearchers at Home
This article discusses the use of observational video recordings to document young children's use of technology in their homes. Although observational research practices have been used for decades, often with video-based techniques, the participant group in this study (i.e., very young children) and the setting (i.e., private homes) provide a rich space for exploring the benefits and limitations of qualitative observation. The data gathered in th…

Critical Theory for Library and Information Science
This text provides an overview of major critical theorists from across disciplines—including the humanities, social sciences, and education—that discusses the importance of these critical perspectives for the advancement of LIS research and scholarship. The practical application of library and information science is based upon 75 years of critical theory and thought. Therefore, it is essential for students and faculty in LIS to be familiar with t…

Mini-Disc Recorders
In this article, the author discusses the benefits of digital audio recording on mini-disc for qualitative interviews. Some of these benefits include increased fidelity, longer recording time, and the ability to index recordings. The author concludes that even though mini-disc recorders are more expensive than cassette recorders, the benefits make the cost outlay worthwhile
