From Social to Social Repair: Museums and the Restorative Turn
Dans cet article, nous retraçons, à la lumière de trois moments de transformation ayant marqué au cours du dernier siècle tant les musées que la société en général, l’évolution de sens du concept « social » et de son corollaire plus récent, la justice. Nous abordons ce sujet à partir des idées formulées dans les années 1960 et 1970 par des muséologues engagés, tant dans les pays du Nord que dans ceux du Sud, ainsi que par d’autres acteurs clés du…
Negative effects of adverse childhood experiences and absence of positive childhood experiences on healthcare employees: Survey findings built on 10 years of trauma-informed development
Introduction: Existing data on how history of trauma and adversity affects healthcare professionals is limited. This study sought to describe the prevalence of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and Positive Childhood Experiences (PCEs) and their association with present-day workplace and wellbeing outcomes among a sample of healthcare teammates overall, as well as specifically among nurses. The paper also describes local trauma-informed care i…

Nature positive? Commodification, speciesism, abjection in Australia’s environmental law reform
Proposed “nature positive” revisions to the Australian Government’s environmental legislation would further entrench an anthropocentric conception of nature as a commodity able to be metricised, traded, and/or replaced. The proposed legislation also manifests a form of speciesism, focusing on threatened species at the expense of other animals whose habitat would continue to be destroyed, and fails to account for future likely changes in the survi…
Barriers to global engagement for African researchers: A position paper from the Alliance for Medical Research in Africa (AMedRA)
African researchers continue to face numerous barriers that limit the global dissemination and advancement of their research. These include high open-access publication fees, requirements for publishing in high-impact journals, inability to attend or host international conferences, and limited access to published papers and resources. In this viewpoint, we focus on the specific challenge of attending [...]
Troubling knowledge in Australian Indigenous Studies: How prior knowledge affects undergraduate student learning
Students’ prior knowledge may affect their learning of content in a compulsory Indigenous Studies course. Notably, non-Indigenous pre-service teachers’ prior knowledge may bring conceptions and misconceptions to their formal Indigenous Studies education, potentially influencing their engagement with and/or resistance to concepts affecting their manifestation in their future classroom practices. Indeed, learning, unlearning, and relearning often o…
Ordering the Wild”: How Adaptive Management Is Used to Maintain Nature Like a Postcard
In this paper we examine and critique adaptive management (AM) practices for protected areas (PAs), in pursuit of practices that can account for more-than-human relations. Engaging with empirical research from Australian PAs, we reflect on the formation of PAs as “exceptional places” where Nature is implicitly/explicitly to be controlled. We find that AM practices harness the spatial and temporal characteristics of the PAs to deliberatively const…

Preservice music teachers in New South Wales: How prepared do they feel for secondary music teaching in a changing world
The ideas and philosophies of preservice secondary music teachers (PSMTs) are formalized in their tertiary education years. In these years, PSMTs must reconcile the expectations, beliefs, and values espoused by their lecturers, tutors, and other significant people from their past. PSMTs have accumulated various musical experiences through prior interactions with their primary and secondary school teachers and private tutors, which nurture and sha…
On Peaceful Political Relations Between Two in Luce Irigaray’s Work
Practical political relations according to Luce Irigaray ground the possibilities for emerging to a new political epoch. She articulates that in order to move toward a more peaceful and emancipated politics, philosophers must focus more on subject-subject relations as opposed to subject-object relations. This in turn promotes the possibility of relating to a naturally and culturally different other. She also elaborates how an emancipated politics…
Governing extension and extending governance for Pacific organic farming
Organic farming in the Pacific region could provide higher-than-average premiums to small-scale farmers. Thus, many farmers seek specific information on market access and internationally recognised global standards and third-party certification. Agricultural extension work has changed in terms of formal and informal understanding and expression. Concomitantly, pluralist extension networks and innovation have replaced singular, publicly-delivered …
Body-mass index, blood pressure, diabetes and cardiovascular mortality in Cuba: Prospective study of 146,556 participants
This large prospective study provides direct evidence for the effects of these major risk factors on cardiovascular mortality in Cuba. Despite comparatively low levels of these risk factors by international standards, the strength of their association with cardiovascular death means they nevertheless exert a substantial impact on premature mortality in Cuba

Indigenous students’ identities in Australian higher education: Found, denied, and reinforced
Indigenous Australian identities are enmeshed in racializing discourses that often occlude diversity, hybridity, and intersectionality. Australians who self-identify as Aboriginal are often disbelieved by both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal people, or confront hierarchies of authenticity. Critical analysis of focus groups with undergraduate Aboriginal students suggests that while there are opportunities to find and reinforce their identities in Au…
Biogeographies: Transcending anthropocentrism in the Anthropocene
The aim of this virtual issue on biogeographies is to highlight and draw insights from a range of papers that showcase the geographical field's analytical and ethical purchase and relevance. To unify physical and human geography, Wace (1967) first championed biogeography, the newest geographical field in the Australian curriculum at the time, locating human animals as both natural and cultural. Since then, the field has displayed its changing ont…
Care in the contested geographies of Dolphin-Assisted Therapy
Scholarship recognizes the co-construction of space by humans and non-human animals (hence, animals), but the complex geographies of some animals whose lives depend upon human care remain under-studied. This article explores human–dolphin relations within the context of Dolphin-Assisted Therapy (DAT), a practice in which most dolphins are in human care. We trace a genealogy of dolphin–human relations in built environments, and draw on a DAT case …
Using videoed stories to convey Indigenous ‘Voices’ in Indigenous Studies
Australian higher education policy espouses the need to expose students to Indigenous knowledges, cultures and pedagogies by embedding appropriate content into the curriculum. One way to overcome the challenges of guest speakers, lack of capacity and a crowded curriculum is to use digital materials regularly during lectures and tutorials. Videos have been shown to create empathy and emotional connection between students and the storyteller. The V…

Doctoring knowledge or acknowledging doctors
Doctoral forms of study are now diverse, although debate exists about whether ontological differences separate the research-based Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) from alternative doctoral forms that contribute to professional practice. The purpose and processes of doctoral study and prevailing market logics that suit the knowledge economy affect the doctoral experience. Solutions entail relationality between the ideas that members of society hold abou…
Benefits and risks for Melanesian households from commercialising Canarium indicum
This research note discusses the benefits and risks for Melanesian households arising from attempts to increasingly commercialise Canarium indicum , an edible tree nut indigenous to Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. Qualitative data were generated during workshops and interviews with Canarium industry stakeholders about the impacts associated with a series of interventions designed to encourage further commercialisation of Canari…
Socio-Economic Factors in Companion Animal Relinquishment on the Sunshine Coast, Australia
There is a critical need to reduce the surrender rates of companion animals by understanding the socio-economic circumstances of caretakers. This research analyzed questionnaires with 117 relinquishers and 13 interviews. Interviews were conducted with relinquishers and staff at Sunshine Coast Animal Refuge Society and Sunshine Coast Animal Pound. Most companion animals relinquished were from litters and around half were de-sexed and micro-chipped…
Cause we’re gonna lose big time’: Indigenous resource negotiations in settled Australia
Recent work in Indigenous geographies theorizes that Indigenous peoples are differently placed in relation to the state, neoliberal development, and to other Indigenous peoples, rather than a simplistic Indigenous/non-Indigenous people and custodial/exploitative frame. Indigenous people’s claims to land in Australia are overlain by a reductionist, settler legal topography that confers land rights to some Aboriginal people, native title to others,…
Teaching Indigenous geography in a neo-colonial world
Australian universities are increasingly embedding Indigenous content and perspectives within curriculum to promote Indigenous cultural competency. We present teaching challenges in an Indigenous geography course designed to present an engaged, intercultural learning experience. We critically reflect on student evaluations, informal discussions and observations to complement scholarly debates. Course design and delivery was seen as stimulating an…
Local Governance for Social Sustainability: Equity as a strategic response to neoliberal constraints in food security initiatives
Scholarly literature recognises the importance of social sustainability as part of the wider sustainability agenda. A wide array of concepts such as equity, social justice, democratic government, social inclusion, social capital and quality of life are thought to constitute social sustainability. Local governments are charged with delivering social programs and services to their constituency, but market logics and performance-based institutional …
Butchulla perspectives on dingo displacement and agency at K’gari-Fraser Island, Australia
Structural modeling of resident perceptions of tourism and associated development on the Sunshine Coast, Australia
Dis-placed voices: Sense of place and place-identity on the Sunshine Coast
The geographical literature on place interrogates, amongst other notions, sense of place, place identity, and their connections or disruptions. Although notions of place are multiple and very fluid, place transformation in rural and regional areas may be more rapid than the changing understandings of place held by residents. This research examines notions of place held by residents on the Sunshine Coast of Australia, one of the fastest growing ‘s…
Segregation and protectionism: Institutionalised views of Aboriginal rurality
Displacing Indigenous Cultural Landscapes: The Naturalistic Gaze at Fraser Island World Heritage Area
A naturalistic gaze characterises protected area management in Australia, and reproduces the nature-culture dichotomy that is thoroughly criticised in geographical discourse. This naturalistic gaze is exacerbated by the compartmentalism of agency roles and responsibilities in protected areas. This paper maintains that many agencies, either unconsciously or deliberately, perpetuate the naturalistic gaze in a way that displaces Indigenous people fr…
Dilemmas of transgression: Ethical Responses in a More-Than-Human World
To transgress is ‘to do something that is not allowed’; in a human-constructed world, animals, especially those seen as ‘incompanionate’, are often deemed to be doing something not allowed. We explore the ethical dilemmas of ‘transgression’ in the context of critical reflection on an instructive example of dingo–human relations on Fraser Island, Australia, which has incited ongoing debate from diverse publics about the killing of ‘problem’ dingoe…
Protocols, particularities, and problematising Indigenous 'engagement' in community-based environmental management in settled Australia
Many Aboriginal Australians in regional and urban Australia hold attachments to their homelands that have been compromised by policies of removal and dispossession. Government agencies and community groups have 'protocols' for engaging with Aboriginal communities, but these protocols have been transferred from remote parts of Australia where land tenure and rights are relatively secure and people can readily claim their community of belonging. Th…
Valence and Campaigns
We present a model of two‐candidate elections in which candidates are office‐motivated, campaigning is voluntary and costly, and one candidate has a valence advantage. In equilibrium, the order of campaign announcements matters: Each candidate would prefer to announce his or her position after the other candidate has announced his or hers. The fundamental predictions of the model are (1) the impact of valence and campaigning costs on candidates' …
The Agency of Dolphins: Towards Inter-species Embassies as Sites of Engagement with 'Significant Otherness
Cetacean-human interaction, at sites where free-ranging dolphins approach humans, is occurring more than ever before. Management policies and strategies, and their underlying research, intended to protect both dolphins and humans during these interactive events, affect the quality and nature of interactivity. The agency of the dolphins, and its representation in management schemes, is analysed using Critical Discourse Analysis of selected texts f…

Contentious terrain: Defining a Human Rights Museology
The work of museums is changing, radically. As the global rise of museums and museum networks dedicated to the subject of human rights over the past few decades has confirmed, museums can be beneficial to the dialog and ongoing negotiation of human rights between civil society and government institutions. Indeed, the foundational roles of museums as places of collecting, conserving and exhibiting artifacts of material culture have shifted signifi…
Thinking outside the framework: Equitable research partnerships for environmental research in Australia
Many environmental science research programmes now adopt community-based philosophies and designs, although there are few applications in Australian Indigenous communities. This research describes the development and testing of a framework of engagement to guide collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians during an environmental sciences research project. That project aimed to assess trepang (sea cucumber) stocks in Aboriginal…

Finding common ground in weed management: Peri-urban farming, environmental and lifestyle values and practices in southeast Queensland, Australia
Peri-urban landscapes are located nearby to a major metropolis and are undergoing rapid change from in-migration and the loss of agricultural land, resulting in a mix of rural, urban, and natural systems. These changing landscapes are fashioned from the discursive relationship between nature and culture, but at times are represented as predominately either natural or cultural areas, perpetuating a nature culture dualism. The values of various res…

Human rights museums and pedagogies of practice: The Museo de la Memoria y los Derechos Humanos
In recent years, a number of museums have incorporated the term ‘human rights’ into their titles.

There’s nothing standard about standards”: Exploring tensions between two standards documents in higher education
Quality in education at the tertiary level is constantly questioned, and increasingly “professional standards” are offered as the solution to the perceived decline in quality. Foucauldian archaeological analysis of teacher graduate and geography graduate standards in Australia is conducted, revealing tensions between the different document sets. Teacher graduate standards reflect two discourses (one of knowledge and understanding, and one of skil…

Nest–site Selection and Breeding Success of Wedge–tailed Shearwaters Puffinus pacificus at Heron Island
The nest‐site selection and the reproductive success of the Wedge‐tailed Shearwater ( Puffinus pacificus ) were examined at Heron Island. Thirteen habitat variables were measured and grouped statistically into four composite variables, which were related to nest‐site selection and breeding success in two structural equation models. Both models showed that substrate moisture was negatively related to nest‐site selection, although one model reveale…

GIS as a Rapid Decision-support Tool for Raptor Conservation Planning in Urbanising Landscapes
Rapidly transforming landscapes are places in which biodiversity loss is likely. Where urbanisation is rapid, conservation planners are often unable to afford the necessary time to adequately gather data and assess threats to biodiversity. Better methodologies are required to inform decision making about development assessments and conservation planning. This paper argues for adopting GIS (geographic information systems) that incorporate availabl…

Child Acute Malnutrition and Mortality in Populations Affected by Displacement in the Horn of Africa, 1997–2009
Drought and conflict in the Horn of Africa are causing population displacement, increasing risks of child mortality and malnutrition. Humanitarian agencies are trying to mitigate the impact, with limited resources. Data from previous years may help guide decisions. Trends in different populations affected by displacement (1997-2009) were analyzed to investigate: (1) how elevated malnutrition and mortality were among displaced compared to host pop…
