ESG Uncertainty in Supply Chains: How Rating Divergence Shapes Buyer–Supplier Trade Credit
Uncertainty in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) ratings has raised concerns about the reliability of sustainability evaluations and their consequences for interfirm relationships. Although prior research has highlighted firm‐level financial outcomes of ESG rating divergence, little is known about its implications for buyer–supplier exchanges. Grounded in Social Exchange Theory, this study examines how divergence in supplier ESG ratings…
Beyond national jurisdiction: A proposition for tackling wicked problems through World Heritage sites and practices
In this provocation, we explore the benefits of expanding the scope of the UNESCO World Heritage List from being limited to sites within territorial boundaries to include examples beyond national jurisdiction. By this we mean sites that are illustrative of the entire Earth-Moon system. Currently, over 45% of the Earth’s surface lies beyond the jurisdiction of the 1972 World Heritage Convention, meaning outside the borders (lands and territorial w…
Aligning Indigenous ontologies and legislation: Resisting Western formulations of intangible heritage and values approaches
Engaging the everyday: The Concept and Practice of 'Everyday Heritage
In this paper, we explore what it means to link heritage to the everyday, how this has been framed in the field of heritage studies to date and how engagement with the everyday might generate future opportunities for heritage practice. We highlight distinctive aspects of everyday heritage, including its post-representative nature, the importance of urban activism, digital and historical forms of cultural participation, as well as its aesthetic re…

Of tuna, godzilla, and the Daigo Fukuryu Maru (Lucky Dragon # 5): Nuclear Entanglements, a 'Way-Sign to Peace', and Shifting Heritage Engagements
A narrative of the Daigo Fukuryu Maru (Lucky Dragon #5), a Japanese fishing vessel constructed in 1947, is presented to reveal how popular experience and storying connected with the vessel have oscillated amid and are interwoven across the everyday, the unusual, and the extraordinary. The multiple historical and contemporary meanings (inclusive of relations with the global anti-nuclear peace movement), personal/global associations, and institutio…
Comparing landscape values and heritage stakeholders: A case study of West Lake Cultural Landscape of Hangzhou, China
In the World Heritage nomination process, the UNESCO World Heritage Programme has historically privileged the discourse of international experts and downplayed that of stakeholders. Taking West Lake Cultural Landscape of Hangzhou as an example, this paper compares and analyses the perspectives expressed by international experts, Chinese heritage professionals, local residents and domestic tourists. In the World Heritage nomination and evaluation …
Benefit or burden? The world heritage listing of libo karst, China
Heritage is a profoundly political field of practice. We draw on the case of Libo Karst, a component of the World Heritage listed South China Karst, to analyse the ways in which politics has permeated the work of heritage from the global to the local and from authorised regimes to community practices. The study is based on interviews conducted between 2013 and 2020 with Chinese officials and local residents to understand the experience of World H…

Cultural and spiritual significance of nature: Guidance for protected and conserved area governance and management
The cultural and spiritual significance of nature has been defined as the spiritual, cultural, inspirational, aesthetic, historic and social meanings, values, feelings, ideas and associations that natural features and nature in general have for past, present and future generations of people – both individuals and groups. These guidelines respond to a growing need to make conservation more inclusive, effective and socially just by accommodating mu…

The Charm of a Thousand Years’: Exploring tourists’ perspectives of the ‘culture-nature value’ of the Humble Administrator’s Garden, Suzhou, China
Despite the promulgation of the UNESCO Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage in 1972, widely lauded for being the first international convention to include natural and cultural heritage, the separation of cultural and natural heritage persists. Equally, within the top-down ‘authorised’ global and national heritage systems, the values of the elite and powerful continue to be emphasised while the understand…
The emancipation continuum: Analysing the role of Esol in the settlement of immigrants
This article explores connections between language and the social inclusion of immigrants. It analyses three different models of immigration settlement: assimilation, integration through social capital, and inclusion. It then explores how education - and in particular the teaching of English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) - can promote values and develop capacities in immigrant learners that either restrict or promote their ability to flou…

Assessment of Ambient Air Toxics and Wood Smoke Pollution among Communities in Sacramento County
Ambient air monitoring and phone survey data were collected in three environmental justice (EJ) and three non-EJ communities in Sacramento County during winter 2016-2017 to understand the differences in air toxics and in wood smoke pollution among communities. Concentrations of six hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) and black carbon (BC) from fossil fuel (BC ff ) were significantly higher at EJ communities versus non-EJ communities. BC from wood bur…
Archaeological Landscape Evolution: The Mariana Islands in the Asia-Pacific Region
It took me a while to read Mike T. Carson’s book. At over 300 pages, it is a full account of the findings and interpretation of the largely physical evidence of the human occupation of the Mariana
Situating (in)significance
In this paper we introduce the concept of ‘(in)significance’ as a way to think about values in heritage, and in the attribution, recording, description, assessment and categorisation practices that characterise heritage processes. Our aim is to throw light on how this concept shapes, and is shaped by, contemporary heritage practices and outcomes. We consider the history of the idea of significance, particularly as it is defined in the Burra Chart…
Introduction: (In)significance - Values and Valuing in Heritage
The notion and possibilities of (in)significance arose in 2015 when we developed an idea for a one-day symposium titled ‘(in)significance: a discussion about values and valuing in heritage’. At the symposium, we aimed to explore the history, theory and practical application of the concept of significance and broach the idea and potential application of ‘(in)significance’. Based on the level of interest generated, this special edition of the Inter…
Conditions Leading to Elevated PM2.5 at Near-Road Monitoring Sites: Case Studies in Denver and Indianapolis
We examined two near-road monitoring sites where the daily PM 2.5 readings were among the highest of any near-road monitoring location in the U.S. during 2014-2016: Denver, Colorado, in February 2014 and Indianapolis, Indiana, in November 2016. At the Denver site, which had the highest measured U.S. near-road 24-hr PM 2.5 concentrations in 2014, concentrations exceeded the daily National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) on three days during …
Indigenous Knowledge and Resource Management as World Heritage Values: Budj Bim Cultural Landscape, Australia
Aboriginal stone artefacts and Country: Dynamism, new meanings, theory, and heritage
The nature of Aboriginal peoples’ relationships to stone artefacts has changed since the 1960s in southeast Australia—now recognisably more social, spiritual, and immediate than temporally distant, historical, or technological. Drawing from published accounts and on personal experience, I suggest that this change, while not universal, is directly linked to compliance or developer-funded archaeology as a dominant mode of archaeological investigati…
Cultural and Spiritual Significance of Nature in Protected Areas: Governance, Management and Policy
Cultural and spiritual bonds with 'nature' are among the strongest motivators for nature conservation; yet they are seldom taken into account in the governance and management of protected and conserved areas. The starting point of this book is that to be sustainable, effective, and equitable, approaches to the management and governance of these areas need to engage with people's deeply held cultural, spiritual, personal, and community values, alo…
World Heritage and Cultural Landscapes: An Account of the 1992 La Petite Pierre Meeting
The Expert Meeting on Cultural Landscapes that took place at La Petite Pierre, France, in October 1992 was a pivotal or key moment in global heritage practice. The meeting is highly regarded by heritage practitioners for having fashioned a document defining cultural landscapes in relation to Article 1 of the 1972 UNESCO World Heritage Convention. Six weeks later the document was adopted at the 16th meeting of the World Heritage Committee. This pa…

New Archaeological Data from the Southern Forests Region, Tasmania: A Preliminary Statement
Initial discussion in 1986 between two of us (JA and RC) has led to the formulation of a medium to long-term archaeological enquiry in southern central Tasmania. This project is currently entitled the Southern Forests Archaeological Project, and is based in the Archaeology Department of La Trobe University. It is designed to produce a coherent set of data concerning the occupation of this region by human groups during the late Pleistocene. Such o…

Maxwell River Archaeological Survey 1986
In January 1986, Aboriginal cave paintings were discovered in the remote valley of the Maxwell River. It is the most spectacular gallery of cave paintings known in Tasmania and the first to be found in western Tasmania. The art is highly significant even though its age is presently unknown.In addition, five occupation sites were also discovered, one of which probably contains an occupation deposit that is the first of its kind to be discovered in…
Mute Or Mutable? Archaeological Significance, Research and Cultural Heritage Management in Australia
In the early 1980s, Sandra Bowdler wrote a series of influential papers which proposed a method for archaeological significance assessment and which examined its role in regard to Aboriginal cultural ‘resource’ management, contract archaeology and research in Australia. Some 25 years later, the meaningful application of concepts around ‘representativeness’ and ‘timely and specific research questions’ appear to have all but vanished in the field o…
A Preliminary Survey For Aboriginal Sites In The Denison River Valley, March 1989
A preliminary survey for Aboriginal sites in the Denison River valley was undertaken in March 1989 by a team of eight people from the Tasmanian Department of Lands, Parks and Wildlife (now Department of Parks, Wildlife and Heritage). Seven confirmed archaeological sites, all almost certainly providing evidence of Pleistocene human occupation, were located

Archaeology of brutal encounter: Heritage and bomb testing on Bikini Atoll, Republic of the Marshall Islands
When the nude dancer, Micheline Bernardini, modelled the bikini at a public pool in Paris on 5 July 1946, the blaze of publicity that followed the unleashing of the fashion icon immediately trivialised the humanly willed catastrophe wrought on Bikini Atoll and its Indigenous inhabitants four days previously. Between 1946 and 1958, a total of 67 nuclear bomb tests were carried out in the Marshall Islands, including in 1954 the world's first delive…
Toward a Cultural Landscape Atlas: Representing all the Landscape as Cultural
Many government and non‐statutory registers utilise point datasets to represent cultural heritage places. An effect of this approach is to emphasise that cultural heritage comprises a series of spatially discrete material remains or ‘sites’, suggesting discrete locations which are somehow disconnected from their broader historical and landscape contexts. We advocate an alternative in which spatial representation of heritage is set within a cultur…

Indigenous Knowledge and Resource Management as World Heritage Values: Budj Bim Cultural Landscape, Australia
Toward an archaeology of the twentieth‐century suburban backyard
The archaeology of twentieth‐century suburbs, in contrast to city centres, has received little attention from archaeologists in Australia. This paper presents the results of an archaeological investigation of a suburban block, a bounded space 347m2in size, created in 1905 and located in the Sydney suburb of Arncliffe. An extensive collection of objects has been recovered while undertaking gardening activities and six test pit excavations has prod…
Documenting Pastoral Landscapes
Australia has a rich pastoral heritage extending over 200 years and across much of the continent. However, heritage inventories and conservation plans prepared by heritage management agencies for pastoral heritage sites and objects are not capturing the full range of past activities or material traces of the histories of these landscapes. I argue that this is because heritage professionals adopt a narrow view of what constitutes "material traces"…

Buggering Around in the Backyard: Creating Attachment to Place through Archaeology and Material Culture
Archaeologists create strong attachments to the places they investigate, in particular through the performance of excavation. However, the social value of archaeological places to archaeologists is rarely considered when it comes to conservation management planning of excavated heritage places. While community values, particularly values held by Aboriginal people, and scientific values are commonly identified, assessed and managed in Burra Charte…
A particular peace: Psychometric properties of the Just Peacemaking Inventory
Recognizing the moral efficacy of nonviolent exemplars such as Gandhi, recent peace scale development emphasizes particular spiritual or religious priorities in measurement. Following this lead, the present study considered the psychometric integrity of a peacemaking scale constructed from a paradigm of 10 practices emphasizing justice and religious virtue. Psychometrics of the Just Peacemaking Inventory (JPI) were evaluated with a sample of 289 …

That is, by critically reflecting on my own connectivity to place I aim to gain a base-level …
