UNSCOM’s work to uncover Iraq’s illicit biological weapons program: A primer
In this article, the authors offer a short primer that outlines UNSCOM’s historical context and the logistics of its work – central aspects contributing to the Special Commission’s successes in searching for Iraq’s hidden biological weapons program
Adult literacy provision and social class: Australian contexts
Adult literacy provision began in Australia during a radical education era in the 1970s, and yet in recent decades, social class as a construct has been largely absent in the academic literature on adult literacy. We argue however that social class is essential to understanding adult literacy provision and furthermore that working class people have not been well served by this provision since the time literacy assumed enhanced status as human cap…
Languages discourses in Australian middle-class schools: Parent and Student Perspectives
Much of the literature on social class and language study in schools argues that for middle-class parents and their children, languages are chosen for their capacity to offer forms of distinction that provide an edge in the global labour market. In this paper, we draw on data collected from interviews with parents and children in middle-class schools in Australia to demonstrate how a complex amalgam of elite, cultural identity and/or trade langua…
Beyond Economic Interests: Critical Perspectives on Adult Literacy and Numeracy in a Globalised World
Over the last two decades, an increasingly economistic discourse has dominated discussions about adult literacy and numeracy. This book provides critiques of, and alternative narratives to the dominant discourse. Authors provide tools and methodologies of critique, including ways of seeing how policies in the countries of focus come to be captured almost completely by the interests of business and industry, as well as how to critically interpret …
The struggle for legitimacy: Language provision in two ‘residual’ comprehensive high schools in Australia
Despite the contemporary policy rhetoric of global citizenry and the importance of languages and intercultural capabilities, language learning in Australian schools struggles for recognition and support. The curriculum marginalisation of languages, however, is uneven, affecting some school sectors more than others. In this article, we examine the provision of languages in two government comprehensive high schools, both low socio-economic status, …
The literacy myth continues: Adapting Graff’s thesis to contemporary policy discourses on adult ‘foundation skills’ in Australia
Harvey Graff in his 1979 study of literacy taught in common schools in mid-nineteenth century Canada, demonstrated that beliefs in the acquisition of literacy for upward mobility and economic success were a myth. Moreover, literacy instruction was promoted by educational reformers and manufacturers as a means of controlling the working class masses and instilling in them the traits, including thrift, order, and punctuality required for employment…
Changing conceptualisations of literacy and numeracy in lean production training: Two case studies of manufacturing companies
Within the context of Australian workplace literacy and numeracy programmes, and based on a larger study from an ethnographic perspective, we outline two case studies of manufacturing companies implementing training programmes in ‘lean’ production processes. The role of literacy and numeracy in the training programmes was approached quite differently in the two companies. In one company, a trainer delivered the lean training to a group of workers…

Eugene O'Neill in Mourning
Following the deaths in 1920-1923 of his father, mother, and brother, Eugene O'Neill spends most of his adult life in mourning. The more one understands the course of his mourning, the better the plays may be known. Indeed, major aspects of the plays remain almost inscrutable until one grasps the author's underlying preoccupation
O'Neill's Dramatic Process
EUGENE O'Neill said of himself that as a poet he stammered. If he achieved verbal elegance only occasionally, he nevertheless created in his best work texts of remarkably poetic density and complexity. He expressed dramatic meanings less with words themselves, less with imagery or rhetoric, less with the content of things his characters say, than with the processes and rhythms of the speeches and interactions, processes that have frequently been …
