A study of virtual reality and the empathetic experience in Australian secondary students
Empathy is a key contributor to moral, pro-social behaviour and an important element of socio-emotional learning (SEL). Schools deliver SEL programmes during adolescence to develop a range of skills including empathy. As education becomes increasingly digital, more research is needed to understand the role digital technologies may play in students’ empathy development. Virtual reality (VR) has been touted as a possible way to provide more realist…
So When We Do Have a Say?” On Sexy Selfie Making as a Standpoint for Seen-ness
As photography’s technological advancement has afforded women greater self-representational opportunity and control, new discourses of concern have emerged over women who create sexy selfies. I argue that these discourses are, in part, mired in outdated notions of the heterosexual male gaze which figure sexy selfies to be a contemporary reflection of the ongoing dominance of male sexual desire over the passive and objectified female subject. Usin…
"Why Does She Have to Wear Make-up? She Looks Better Natural!" Staged Photos and Sexual Subjectivities
As women’s sexy selfie-making practices have burgeoned, so too have popular and feminist discourses of concern about them. One aspect of concern is that they are inauthentic or ‘unnatural’ presentations of self − where naturalness is assumed to be an aspirational western feminine ideal. I argue that naturalness discourses are operationalised to reinforce long-standing, classed ideals of feminine sexual presentation which marginalise some self-rep…
Engaging Future Healthcare Professionals as Caregivers to Hospice Patients in Comfort Care Homes
Most people wish to die at home yet significant barriers exist in accessing care in one's home, especially for individuals with caregiver and/or housing instability. Across the U.S., residential homes for the dying are opening to address gaps in end-of-life care by recruiting community members to serve as caregivers to hospice patients during their final days. This paper describes a blended-experiential training program, informed by both an evide…
It’s classy because you can’t see things”
Public and academic debates about sexualisation suggest that selfies taken by women of their own bodies, for display on Instagram, are sexualising and harming them. This paper reports on a “compare and contrast” project where a professional photographer (myself) took photographs of women who are sexy self-representers on Instagram. It is an examination of the aesthetics and practices of amateur and professional photography in this context, and dr…
Data schemas for multiple hazards, exposure and vulnerability
Purpose Using risk-related data often require a significant amount of upfront work to collect, extract and transform data. In addition, the lack of a consistent data structure hinders the development of tools that can be used with more than one set of data. The purpose of this paper is to report on an effort to solve these problems through the development of extensible, internally consistent schemas for risk-related data. Design/methodology/appro…
A disability aware approach to torture prevention? Australian Opcat ratification and improved protections for people with disability
In 2017, Australia ratified the Optional Protocol to the Convention against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment (OPCAT). Ratification of OPCAT presents as a unique opportunity to highlight the institutional treatment of people with disability in a range of sites of detention within Australia and build on advancing international protections for people with disability, including those articulated in the Convention …
Australian findings on Aboriginal cultural practices associated with clothing, hair, possessions and use of name of deceased persons
There is a significant cultural gap between westernized Australian and Aboriginal cultures, especially in regards to care of the dying. Thus, cultural sensitivity and respect, coupled with knowledge of the traditions and practices in respect of the death and dying, are of utmost importance in communicating with Aboriginal peoples. In order to make a contribution to furthering cultural safety in nursing practice, this article provides important in…
Aboriginal Spiritual Perspectives
The cultural differences between the dominant Anglo-Australian and the Aboriginal Australian groups are significant, particularly in the way death is dealt with. It is thus extremely important for health care professionals caring for Aboriginal people with a terminal illness to be informed as fully as possible on Indigenous spiritual beliefs associated with death and dying. This article shares findings on Aboriginal spiritual perspectives relevan…
A Critique of the Existing Research into Small Primary Schools
Major studies carried out in the United Kingdom on small primary schools are drawn upon and evaluated. It is argued that research in this area is flawed for the following reasons: there is no agreed definition of a ‘small primary school’; investigations have been biased in their favour as a result of problems in research design and the ways in which data have been analysed; and, finally, there has been a neglect of certain key issues, notably tho…
