Legislating to Control Online Hate Speech: A Corpus-Assisted Semantic Analysis of French Parliamentary Debates
This corpus analysis of linguistic and semantic features in French parliamentary debates concerning online hate speech regulation, highlights tensions between state powers and private rights. Two key themes are identified: first, the problem of definition : how such online content is defined in the debates, and second, the problem of regulation : how the debates negotiate the supra-jurisdictional and individual jurisdiction issues involved, in re…
Mission as Hospitality with Refugees and Other Migrants: Exploring Ross Langmead’s “Guests and Hosts” in Australian Churches
This article explores the “mission of God” and its relationship with refugees and migrants in Australia. At its best, this mission is experienced as hospitality to, by, and with people of cultural diversity. Ross Langmead (2014) called for a theology of mission as an expression of divine hospitality to those marginalized and forcefully displaced, and recalled the significance of the cultural diversity that the Bible celebrates. By hospitably serv…

The provision of clinical counseling within the context of a Christian worldview has profound meaning for those who seek education in Christian institutions. This phenomenology explored the essence of faith-informed clinical practice for experienced licensed professional counselors. The following six overarching themes emerged from interviews with 10 clinicians: Faith-Informed Clinical Practice Emerges from an Eternal Perspective, Distinct Aspira…
Implementing Introductory Training in Trauma-Informed Care Into Mental Health Rehabilitation Services: A Mixed Methods Evaluation
Staff working in mental health rehabilitation are supportive of the need for TIC. The variable training uptake did not reflect the staff comments about the importance of TIC. The burden of adjusting mental health care delivery to COVID-19 restrictions was reported as a major influence on the uptake of training. Systematically implementing training in TIC is required but needs to be complemented by a structured organizational approach to aid embed…
Apologies for the Public Good: Towards a Taxonomy of Sorrow
Apologies are frequently called for today, and can make a valuable contribution to the public good. However, many so-called apologies are actually vague regret, blaming, placating, excusing or merely mourning. Given their importance, this article explores their nature and proposes a taxonomy of sorrow that elucidates the meaning of claims to apology. Simply saying ‘I am sorry’, or worse, adding ‘that you’, ‘if I’, ‘but’ or ‘that’ does not make an…
Comparative Effectiveness of Integrated Peer Support and Clinical Staffing Models for Community-Based Residential Mental Health Rehabilitation: A Prospective Observational Study
This observational study compared the outcomes of consumers receiving community-based residential mental health rehabilitation support in Australia under a clinical staffing model and an integrated staffing model where Peer Support Workers are the majority component of the staffing profile.

Missional Resistance: The Man in the High Castle 's Hope for an Alternate Reality
The television series Man in the High Castle is set in an alternate United States of America reality where Nazi Germany and Japan won World War II. This paper explores the saga's themes narratively, scripturally, and missionally, engaging with various cultural, religious, and mission studies. The resistance theme of The Man in the High Castle in particular provides a useful parallel to Christian mission that is surprisingly resonant both with scr…
The identity imperative: Mentoring as a tool for Christian young adult identity formation
Mentoring is a commonly practiced and well-researched activity, as are the subsets of Christian mentoring and young adult mentoring. The research question explored here was simple: How can mentoring be most helpful for Christian young adults, given their particular nuances? This article therefore surveys the literature on Christian mentoring, showing it as a pivotal tool for spiritual formation. It then investigates the world young adults are eme…
Diary of a Mental Health Peer Worker: Findings From a Diary Study Into the Role of Peer Work in a Clinical Mental Health Setting
Introduction: The importance of peer support workers in mental health care delivery has been extensively advocated for in mental health policy frameworks. However, there has been limited research examining the implementation of paid peer workers in clinical settings. This study explores the experience of paid peer support workers integrated within a clinically-operated community-based residential rehabilitation service for people diagnosed with a…

Staff Expectations of an Australian Integrated Model of Residential Rehabilitation for People With Severe and Persisting Mental Illness: A Pragmatic Grounded Theory Analysis
Mental health services increasingly involve peer support workers. Staff expectations of working in these services are important because they frame processes and cultures that develop within services, and influence work satisfaction, staff retention, and consumer experience. We examined staff expectations at two new community-based residential rehabilitation units trialing a staffing model where most staff are employed based on their lived experie…
A Comprehensive Cohort Description and Statistical Grouping of Community-Based Residential Rehabilitation Service Users in Australia
Background: Community Care Units (CCUs) are a model of community-based residential rehabilitation support available in Australia that assists people affected by severe and persistent mental illness to enhance their independent living skills and community involvement. These services have been subject to limited evaluation, and available descriptions of consumer cohorts lack relevance to the understanding of their rehabilitation needs. Method: A cl…

This article advances current conceptions of teacher activism through an exploration of the social justice dispositions of teachers in advantaged and disadvantaged contexts of schooling. We interrogate the practices of teachers in a government school, with a high proportion of refugee students and students from low socio-economic backgrounds, in a high-fees, multi-campus independent school, and in a disadvantaged Systemic Catholic school to illus…

Metaphor as a methodological tool: Identifying teachers’ social justice dispositions across diverse secondary school settings
This article investigates the social justice dispositions of teachers and principals in secondary schools as inferred from their metaphoric expressions. Drawing on a Bourdieuian account of disposition, our focus is the use of metaphor as a methodological tool to identify and reveal these otherwise latent forces within our data. Our analysis shows evidence of redistributive, recognitive and activist conceptions of social justice. We argue that the…
Public Health Adaptation to Climate Change in OECD Countries
Climate change is a major challenge facing public health. National governments play a key role in public health adaptation to climate change, but there are competing views on what responsibilities and obligations this will-or should-include in different nations. This study aims to: (1) examine how national-level public health adaptation is occurring in Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) countries; (2) examine the roles n…
Taoist Paradox and Socialist‐realist Didactics: Re‐grounding the Galileo Complex in the ‘Danish’ Leben Des Galilei . Brecht's Testimony From the ‘Finsteren Zeiten’
The ‘Galileo Complex’ – the three versions of Brecht's Leben des Galilei – is examined from the perspective of the first ‘Danish’ version of 1938–9, which was conceived as a parable play. In research and production practice the third, ‘Berlin’ version of 1953–5 has always taken precedence. This corresponds both to Brecht's wish to place the emphasis in interpretation upon Galileo's failure as a scientist to resist the destructive potential of a p…
Calculating student aspiration: Bourdieu, spatiality and the politics of recognition
This paper reports on a recent study of aspirations for higher education by secondary school students from disadvantaged backgrounds in regional Australia. At the same time, it goes in search of explanations that transcend a Bourdieuian account of aspirations as produced by and reproductive of cultural histories and dominance, given the apparent inadequacy of these accounts in redressing disadvantage. To this end the authors distinguish between h…

The Best Interests of the Child - Principles and Problems
Those who make decisions about children are increasingly required by law to act in the child's best interests. At the same time, best interests standards are regarded as indeterminate, or worse. This article explores the indeterminacy argument and then turns to ways in which, in practice, a degree of predictable operation may still result. It focuses on the role played by localized conventions on values and understandings of the world

The Mutual Obligation Policy in Australia: The rhetoric and reasoning of recent social security policy
Since 1997, the Australian Federal Liberal Government has introduced policies which have sought to reduce rates of unemployment, particularly long-term unemployment. The policy, known as Mutual Obligation, increased the expectations on unemployed people in return for their social security payment. At the same time, previous labour market programmes and government assistance schemes were scrapped or privatised. This article explores the justificat…

Staff Experiences of Integrating Peer Support Workers and Clinical Staff in Community-Based Residential Mental Health Rehabilitation: A Pragmatic Grounded Theory Analysis
Faith Development Theory as a Context for Supervision of Spiritual and Religious Issues
Although there is a growing interest in spirituality and religious issues in counseling, little has been written for the supervisor. This article addresses this need by demonstrating how J. Fowler's (1981) model of faith development stages can inform supervisory work with spiritual and religious issues. Faith Development Theory is a growth-oriented approach to spiritual and religious development that focuses on adaptive rather than pathological q…

Cross-Price Elasticities of U.S. Import Demand
The efficiency with which coefficients in probit mod- els are estimated is improved by exploiting data on continuous ancillary variates. In this paper the resulting gains in efficiency are examined and illustrative calculations are provided. Extra precision is achieved at the cost of making an extra assumption but this assumption can be tested. It is shown that fully efficient maximum likelihood estimation of the probit model with a continuous an…

‘I'm the Slice of Pie that's Ostracised …’. Foucault's Technologies, and Personal Agency, in the Voice of Women who are Homeless, Adelaide, South Australia
In contrast to the international research (particularly in the United Kingdom and North America), much of the Australian literature regarding homelessness to date omits the perspective of people who are homeless. In contributing to the fledgling Australian literature in the field, the following article adopts a secondary approach to the data analysis of original research. When analysed, the voices of homeless women from an agency in Adelaide, Sou…
