In the ‘Display Case’: (Capitalist) Realism and Simon Stone’s ‘Zoological’ Ibsen
How are theatre practitioners (re)defining the realist project, a form of theatre intrinsic to the ideological domestication of capitalism? This paper takes up this question through an examination of Simon Stone's production of The Wild Duck ‘after Ibsen’, staged at Belvoir Theatre in Sydney in 2011, and the late Mark Fisher's (2009) theorization of a market-dominated present as capitalist realism. In doing so, it refers to three different cultur…
Online and social media resilience in young people in vulnerable contexts
This Australian study explored the resilience to online abusive activity and enticements to violence amongst a cohort of young people in vulnerable contexts. The vulnerable contexts were defined as those where family disruption, domestic violence and subsequent geographical dislocation were present in the young person’s environment. The young people, aged 12 to 19 years, were interviewed to elicit the prevalence of abusive or violent online and s…
Entrepreneurial drivers, barriers and enablers of computing students: Gendered perspectives from an Australian and UK university
This paper investigates computing students’ entrepreneurial intentions, motivations, recognisable barriers and encouragements towards entrepreneurship, with a focus on gender. Two universities, one in Australia and one in the UK (n = 247), were used as locations for the research to consider two distinct contexts. In each university there were similarly high levels of interest in entrepreneurship among computing students, however some significant …
Creativity in Electrical Engineering Degree Programs: Where Is the Content
Contribution: This paper demonstrated on a large scale that explicit articulation of creativity-related learning goals on engineering syllabi is quite limited, and primarily limited to the first year of study. Engineering educators may need to do more to ensure creativity is explicitly addressed as an expected learning outcome within engineering syllabi. Background: Prior studies have shown inclusion of creativity within engineering syllabi and c…
Hayloft's Thyestes: Adapting Seneca for the Australian Stage and Context
This essay examines The Hayloft Project's theatre production Thyestes , first performed at the Malthouse Theatre in Melbourne in 2010. It takes as its starting point public criticism of the practice of adaptation as a derivative form. Contrary to this position, the essay applies recent theorizations of theatre as a hypermedium in order to argue that adaptation is an integral, structural component of theatre rather than simply an intertextual, rep…
Follow-Up on the Dropout Rate of Training Cases: Who and When
Evaluating quality in online asynchronous interactions between students and discussion facilitators
Online discussion forums have become an essential part of university courses, whether the course is conducted online, or face to face, or in mixed or blended mode. Discussion forums are considered to engage students better with the course content and encourage them to share and gain knowledge from each other. However, online engagement does not always happen automatically between students. Hence grading of discussion forum participation has been …
‘Citizens of fate’: Blood, disease and the question of mortality in Sadness by William Yang
William Yang’s performance Sadness challenges essentialised categories of identification by juxtaposing tales of his Chinese-Australian family with the journey of friends from his community dying of AIDS-related complications and infection. In doing so, Yang foregrounds the threat of mortality that attempts to stabilise identity politics for the ‘nation’. In the age of global media Yang resists multi-modal approaches to his medium to reclaim the …
Using Web 2.0 to teach Web 2.0: A case study in aligning teaching, learning and assessment with professional practice
Web 2.0 technologies have transformed the way people in information industries engage with their clients, collaborate on projects, promote their services and gather community knowledge. In this paper, we describe the impact of industry adoption of Web 2.0 technologies on an information management course. The students in this course are either already working in or plan to be entering information professions such as librarianship, archiving, recor…
Transafe: A Crowdsourced Mobile Platform for Crime and Safety Perception Management
An earlier version of this paper was presented at the 2011 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS) at Saint Xavier University in Chicago, Illinois (and printed in the 2011 ISTAS proceedings). This paper describes a proposed mobile platform, Transafe , that captures and analyses public perceptions of safety to deliver 'crowdsourced' collective intelligence about places in the City of Melbourne, Australia, and their affective…
Transmesh: A Locative Media System
This research project demonstrates the technosocial possibilities that result from creating localized mediated spaces or ‘meshworks’ using Bluetooth in order to publish independently produced content. Bluetooth technology is a double-edged sword. It is a meshwork for sharing media freely between mobile device users in public places such as shopping centres and private spaces such as the home and the workplace. It presents opportunities for the de…
Students as Web 2.0 authors: Implications for assessment design and conduct
Students now have at their disposal a range of Web 2.0 authoring forms such as audio and video podcasting, blogging, social bookmarking, social networking, virtual world activities and wiki writing. Many university educators are interested in enabling students to demonstrate their learning by creating content in these forms. However, the design and conduct of assessment for such student-created content is not straightforward. Based upon a review …
Mobile Computing Applications: Bluetooth for Local Voices
Our vision is to create an independent content-distribution system using ubiquitous computing technologies. In this paper, we report on how we implemented mobile computing applications to design and build a content-distribution system using Bluetooth technology in an urban site in order to distribute context-sensitive media. The granularities of our design considerations included the ability to support both annotative and phenomenological locativ…
People with Complex Needs and the Criminal Justice System
Efforts to enhance efficiency in service provision have produced increasingly sophisticated targeting in the various human service domains. In the context of changing demographics, the aftermath of de-institutionalisation and governments contracting out services with tight specifications, this has often had an unintended outcome of excluding those with multiple needs, leaving some people in our community especially vulnerable. Some appear to be a…
Changing Urban Spaces: Mobile Phones on Trains
Mobility is changing the ways people routinely behave in public places. Since the appearance of digital mobile phone networks, mobile phones have become part of suburban and urban landscapes globally. Both the use of public transport and mobile telecommunications are integral for daily life and self‐presentation in most large cities such as London and Tokyo. Public places and spaces are being transformed into hybrid geographies through the introd…
Dropout Rate of Training Cases: Who and When
Training cases define clinical immersion for candidates and are essential to their education, progression, and graduation. While dropouts from treatment are expected, repeated dropouts can be detrimental to a candidate's education and progression. In a study of the rate and timing of dropout in 145 cases at the Columbia University Center for Psychoanalytic Training and Research, 40 percent of patients were found to have dropped out within the fir…
Why We Recommend Analytic Treatment for Some Patients and Not for Others
One hundred consecutive patients applying for analysis completed a comprehensive battery of structured interviews and self-report questionnaires assessing dimensions of psychopathology and psychological functions that analysts consider important when evaluating patients for analysis. Patients were evaluated for analysis by a candidate supervised by a training analyst. Fifty patients were accepted for analysis and fifty rejected. In both groups, p…
Converted Patients and Clinic Patients as Control Cases: A Comparison With Implications for Psychoanalytic Training
All twenty-eight respondents to a recent poll of the thirty institutes affiliated with the American Psychoanalytic Association reported that they now accept cases converted from psychotherapy to psychoanalysis as control cases. This study was designed to compare converted cases to clinic cases systematically with respect to patient characteristics, treatment, and the educational experience of the treating candidate. The study followed twenty-four…
Harm Minimization in a Prohibition Context—australia
Australia ranks high internationally in the prevalence of cannabis and other illicit drug use, with the prevalence of all illicit drug use increasing since the 1970s. There are two distinctive features associated with harms from injecting drug use-high rates of death from heroin overdose and low rates of HIV infection. Australia has largely avoided a punitive and moralistic drug policy, developing instead harm minimization strategies and a robust…

Surveying the drug service users' perspective through self‐help groups
Survey data is presented from a questionnaire designed and distributed through Victorian drug self‐help groups. This survey yielded 203 returns representative of Melbourne metropolitan admissions to drug treatment services on the variables of sex and region. The survey is examined both from the perspective of its methodological potential for providing entry to this hard‐to‐access population and also on the basis of its findings. Questioning of th…

Aboriginal Drinking: A Case Study in Inequality and Disadvantage
This paper examines an aspect of social inequality experienced by Aboriginal people living in a remote Queensland mining town. We contend that non‐Aboriginal perceptions and attitudes of Aboriginal drinking behaviour contribute directly to structural inequalities within the Mount Isa community. Social drinking in the township is, for reserve‐dwelling Aborigines, restricted mainly to one bar in one hotel and adjoining park and river bank area. The…
