Craft-based activities in early childhood Gamilaraay language reclamation
The Gamilaraay language, an Aboriginal Australian language in northern inland New South Wales and nearby Queensland, has faced significant decline as a result of colonisation. To reclaim the language and preserve Gamilaraay cultural heritage, creative and engaging teaching methods are essential. The Winanga-li Language Program uses a theme-based curriculum design which encourages the repetition of target language through storytelling, songs, game…
Boom and bust: Variegated livelihood pathways among rural households in the banana boom in northern Laos
Crop booms are a significant driver of change for both rural landscapes and smallholder livelihoods. Cavendish bananas have boomed in northern Laos and replaced maize, the previous boom crop, through land leasing contracts between farmers and Chinese companies. This study of two villages in Oudomxay Province explores rural households' participation in this banana boom and the conjunctures that shape variegated livelihood pathways and outcomes. Ho…
From Booms to Bans
In this paper, we examine the extensive use of bans (temporary prohibitions or moratoriums) on resource exploitation activities by the government of Laos as an authoritarian environmental governance tool. We focus on bans enacted recently in three sectors: on the granting of land concessions in 2012, on the expansion of banana plantations in 2014, and on logging exports in 2016. Bans have long been used in Laos, particularly in the forestry secto…

Addressing the hegemony of English through picture books in Gamilaraay
The reawakening of the Indigenous Gamilaraay language in northern inland New South Wales, Australia involves righting two centuries of prohibition and mistreatment after invasion by English-speaking settlers. Gamilaraay is no longer used as an everyday language in the community, although it has strong emblematic value for the Gamilaraay community. The hegemonic power of English means that it is seen as “normal”, while Gamilaraay use is often conf…
Learning from teachers like us: Using video to move beyond ‘secret knowledge’ in Papua New Guinea elementary teacher professional development
Providing professional development (PD) for Papua New Guinea (PNG) teachers is highly challenging due to the remoteness of schools, limited budgets, travel costs, and safety. The essential follow-up guidance and support after PD workshops is rarely possible, especially for the majority of teachers, who work in rural schools. In addition, the effectiveness of PD in facilitating collaboration among members of the school community can be affected by…
Mature female learners activating agency after completion of an education foundation degree: Professional progression and the teacher shortage crisis
This paper draws upon questionnaire data from 126 mature, female alumni students and interviews with a subset of 20 participants who completed education foundation degrees in three English universities in the South West. Three illustrative cases from interviews are chosen representing three models of progression: ‘success’, ‘version of success’, and ‘still struggling to get on’. This paper uses three dimensions of agency: iterational, projective,…

A community development approach using free online tools for language revival in Australia
Australia is a ‘hotspot’ of Indigenous language endangerment, but has a growing number of language revival projects. We describe one such project which is using a community development approach for the revival of the Gamilaraay language in north-eastern New South Wales. As a result of colonisation there are now no fluent speakers of Gamilaraay and most use is restricted to formulaic phrases. However, there is community support for its revival, wi…
English language issues for jury service by New Zealanders from migrant and refugee backgrounds
This paper describes an exploratory study carried out to identify the issues for jury service for people with low levels of English language ability. Questions were emailed to English language teachers and providers of support services to New Zealanders from migrant and refugee backgrounds. The experiences reported by respondents related to issues of understanding the New Zealand legal system, responses to jury summons, excusal from jury service,…
Stigma of ink: Tattoo attitudes among college students
We test a structural equations model of stigma against tattooed persons and attitudes toward future tattoos among 195 tattooed and 257 non-tattooed college students. Having tattooed friends and family members undermines stigma against tattooed persons while beliefs about negative side effects of tattooing reinforces stigma assignment. The variables above and the respondent having a tattoo predict attitude toward future tattoos. We test a second m…
Immigration, Crime, and Victimization: Rhetoric and Reality
Contrary to popular perceptions that immigration increases crime, the research literature demonstrates that immigration generally serves a protective function, reducing crime. This review takes as its starting point the contradiction between the rhetoric and the reality of immigration and crime in the United States. We begin by exploring the conditions under which immigration reduces crime and those under which it has less or no effect, with part…
Race, Ethnicity, Class, and Noncompliance with Juvenile Court Supervision
Determination of whether a youth is compliant with the conditions of probation and, if not, how to ensure future compliance is an important intermediate stage in juvenile court decision making. Yet, little is known about the conditions under which noncompliance is or is not documented in the youth's file, what happens to noncompliant youth, and whether documentation of noncompliance is influenced by race and class. Probation officers necessarily …
Youth Is Enmeshed in a Highly Dysfunctional Family System”: Exploring the Relationship Among Dysfunctional Families, Parental Incarceration, and Juvenile Court Decision Making
Although prior work has substantiated the role of external attributes in juvenile court decision making, no study to date has examined how family situational factors as well as maternal and paternal incarceration affect juvenile court officials' responses to troubled youth. Using quantitative and qualitative juvenile court data from a large urban county in the southwest, this study draws on attribution theory to examine how family structure, perc…
Searching for Kinship: The Creation of Street Families Among Homeless Youth
Drawing on in-depth interviews with 30 homeless youth, this study depicts a unique aspect of homeless youth street culture-the formation of "street families." This article examines youth's motivations for creating street families, their organization and maintenance, and the role gender plays in adopting familial identities. Although many homeless adolescents come from dysfunctional families, street family members often recreate traditional family…
A scale for measuring attitudes about prohibition
The technique used in the construction of the scale was the same as that employed by Thurstone and Chave in their scale for measuring attitudes about the church. The scale as finally presented to a group of 281 college students, 178 Y. W. C. A. members, 206 members of the Methodist church and 200 business men, had 45 statements. The Methodist members were as a whole strongly in favor of prohibition. The Y. W. C. A. members showed a majority in fa…
