In early 2023, as the release of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools such as ChatGPT became more widespread, concerns arose in the higher education sector regarding how students might use generative AI (gen-AI), not only for writing critical essays, but for producing creative works. Multiple gen-AI tools appeared specifically targeting the application to writing screenplays. This prompted the question: what are the ethical and pedagogical implicat…

Poking the beaver: Feminist approaches to television comedy as creative resistance to patriarchal and organisational power
This article explores how humour in television comedy is used to satirise patriarchal and organisational power structures. The research combines feminist critique with Foucault’s theories of power to examine the moral viewpoints from which two comedy screenwriting academics target the objects of satire in their comedy television series, Fighting Fit (Cake) and The MILF Next Door (Leder). Cake establishes an anti-neoliberal moral viewpoint as the …
Framing Unions and Nurses
Union communication and framing are important for how union members, as well as how unions as organizations, are represented. In the context of declining union density and therefore fewer direct union members, unions' daily communication material on social media may be one of the most common interactions people have with unions. This case study focuses on United Nurses of Alberta, the union for most registered nurses in Alberta, Canada, where uni…

Accommodating theory and practice is a significant pedagogical challenge for screen programmes in higher education. Integrating theory and practice within the pedagogy of documentary screen production raises specific issues related to its ethical obligations and social change remit. Designing screen studies programmes that effectively support students to become critically aware and reflexive practitioners requires historical and theoretical knowl…
Disrupting the self: Script development within the academy
Screenwriting within the Academy creates opportunities for female writers to question and challenge traditional and industrial approaches to script development. The two writer-researchers use critical conversation as a form of collaborative reflection to examine how personal experiences inform their script development processes. Situating the creative practice within the context of research reveals how the reflexive approach to script development…
Innovation in true crime: Generic transformation in documentary series

Altered consumption habits from long form programming and binge viewing on streaming services has prompted innovations in factual content through docuseries. Commencing with Reality Television police procedurals such as the long running US series Cops ([1989–2023]. Cops. TV Series. Fox. 1989–2013, 2023. Paramo…
Profits First, Safety Second
This article argues that while workplaces are safer today than they were 50 years ago, the degree to which this change is due to Canada's occupational health and safety (ohs) system is unclear. Examining the literature and reflecting upon the authors' own experiences with workplace safety, the article suggests that fundamental flaws embedded in the principles of the system undermine its effectiveness at keeping workers safe. Specifically, the pre…
Leveraging collaboration: Script development processes in low budget Australian feature filmmaking
For independent Australian filmmakers working outside traditional funding sources, the script often provides the sole means of raising finance to take the film into production.

Playground Films.” Apple TV) and Watch the Sunset ([2017], “Directed by Tristan Barr and Michael Gosden.” Barr Lipp Productions. STAN), however, script development was elevate…
