The Australian refugee education policyscape
Australia’s refugee education policy development occurs within a fragmented and evolving landscape, shaped by competing priorities, historical precedents, and shifting political and economic contexts. While English language acquisition has dominated policy discourse, emphasis on policies for wellbeing and inclusion have gained prominence in recent years. However, significant gaps persist, leaving educators to navigate inconsistent and often ambig…
Long-term influences of participation in an earth education program in middle school
This is a retrospective study of the long-term influences of participation in the Sunship Earth program. Participants were 288 adults who had participated in the residential Sunship Earth program as 6th graders and 103 adults from the same community who had not. Comparisons between the groups were made concerning attitudes and worldviews, views on environmental issues, involvement in environmental efforts, and environmentally related actions. For…
How policies of school exclusion frame practice
This article reports on a comparative policy analysis which examined education policy guiding the use of exclusionary discipline practices across four Australian states (Western Australia, South Australia, Victoria, and Queensland). Exclusionary practices, such as suspensions and exclusions, are commonly used to respond to problematic student behaviour, yet their effectiveness as a behaviour management strategy remains unsupported by research. Th…
Validating the Construct of Environmental Attitude in Urban Nepal Using the Two-Dimensional Model of Ecological Values
The Two-Dimensional Model of Ecological Values (2-MEV) explores the environmental values and attitudes of adolescents, typically 11–16 years old. The 2-MEV has two higher-order factors (values), Preservation and Utilisation, and primary factors (attitudes) under each value. The 2-MEV Scale has been validated in several industrialised countries, showing a negative but weak to moderate correlation between the two values. When in a previous study th…
What is missing in policy discourses about school exclusions
This article reports on a critical policy analysis of discourses related to school exclusions. The management of problematic student behaviour is one of the intractable problems facing education systems today. Despite being ineffective, school suspensions and exclusions are commonly used in many countries as a discipline strategy to manage student behaviour. We adopted a critical policy analysis approach in a case in Australia to examine what is …

Why school context matters in refugee education
Education plays an important role in the successful settlement and life outcomes of young people from refugee backgrounds. Because of this, research into young people from refugee backgrounds in education systems tends to focus on examples of “good practice” in terms of how these young people experience education. Yet, examples of good practice commonly fail to take into account that schools are engaging in particular practices from very differen…

What is ‘fair’ and ‘just’ in refugee education? How teachers and school leaders negotiate competing discourses of ‘equity’ and ‘equality’ in Australia
With increasing numbers of students from refugee backgrounds, many Australian schools are struggling to minimise the educational disparity between refugee students and their same age peers. Faced with diverse needs and limited resources, educators must decide whether to distribute targeted resources equally, ensuring all students are given equality of opportunity, or allocate resources to those who need it most, attaining equity of outcome. In th…
What does nature mean to you? A photo analysis of urban middle school students’ perceptions of nature
In the present study, we explore the perceptions of urban middle school students' representations of nature using participatory photography and their nature connectedness.Preadolescents (N = 108, 6th grade, age 11-13) were asked to take a photo of what nature is to them and write a short description of what is in the image.In a mixed method study applying the 'Inclusion of Nature in Self' (INS) scale, we investigated ( 1) what are middle school s…

Forests for forests
Remote sensing is a powerful tool for understanding and scaling measurements of plant carbon uptake via photosynthesis, gross primary productivity (GPP), across space and time. The success of remote sensing measurements can be attributed to their ability to capture valuable information on plant structure (physical) and function (physiological), both of which impact GPP. However, no single remote sensing measure provides a universal constraint on …

Education department policy constructions within highly political contexts
This article provides a critical analysis of policies from two education systems that support the education of students from migrant backgrounds. This analysis examines the highly political policy context of multiculturalism to reveal how education systems acquiesce to or resist social and political forces. In making this case, the article presents an historical analysis of the Australian federal government’s multicultural policy and the events t…
When performativity meets agency
Early career teachers are increasingly required to be ‘classroom ready’ upon graduation and to demonstrate capabilities that match their more experienced colleagues. They are also joining a profession that is characterised by increased scrutiny and accountability driven by standards that seek to identify the hallmarks of good teaching. This agenda, constructed around a discourse of ‘quality’, has created dilemmas for early career teachers. Howeve…

Outdoor environmental education programme leaders’ theories of experiential learning
Teachers’ practice is based on their beliefs about how student learning should be developed. In the practice of programme leaders in outdoor environmental education centres, experiential learning is considered to be one of the prominent learning theories. This study analyses the ways in which experiential learning is interpreted and transferred into the practice of programme leaders in five outdoor environmental education centres in the Czech Rep…
Empowerment in outdoor environmental education
Empowerment is often considered to be a central goal in outdoor education and environmental education. To develop student empowerment, a frequent recommendation is for the leaders of outdoor environmental education programs to provide students with a high level of autonomy through an emancipatory approach, by involving them in the decision-making processes about and during the programs. The study analyzes the strategies applied in five outdoor en…

Musical Violence and Popular Music Studies
Music therapy is based on the recognition of the positive power of music in the treatment of a range of traumas, disabilities and neuro-physical disorders. It seems that music can indeed be a &s;magic&s; that sets people free. War perennially provides the most extreme manifestations of the connections between music, identity and violence, in such abundant numbers that any illustration is arbitrary. Joseph Stalin&s;s musicality illustrates the eas…
Music as Violence
This chapter shows that music is used to &s;hit&s; people and certainly to cause them pain. It also shows how music itself can become both the site and agent of violence. Moreover, music can be delivered by and within a socio-political order in a way that functions to humiliate, disturb, disorient and to torture. The chapter shows that sound is potentially an instrument of both power and violence, and that this potential has expanded dramatically…

Dark Side of the Tune
Written against the academically dominant but simplistic romanticization of popular music as a positive force, this book focuses on the 'dark side' of the subject. It is an examination of the ways in which popular music has been deployed in association with violence, ranging from what appears to be an incidental relationship, to one in which music is explicitly applied as an instrument of violence.. A preliminary overview of the physiological and…
Killing me softly with his song
Popular music studies generally celebrate the power of music to empower the construction of individual and social identities, a site of positive self-realisation. But such an approach risks overlooking a significant element in the musical transaction. How, for example, did the inhabitants of Jericho feel? Or President Noriega when musically besieged by US troops in Panama City? Or street kids in Wollongong, New South Wales, driven out of shopping…
Using Bogner and Wiseman’s Model of Ecological Values to measure the impact of an earth education programme on children’s environmental perceptions
Investigating the effects of educational programmes on children’s environmental perceptions has been hampered by the lack of good theoretical models and valid instruments. In the present study, Bogner and Wiseman’s Model of Ecological Values provided a well‐developed theoretical model. A validated instrument based on Bogner’s Environmental Perception (ENV) scale was used to examine the effects of the Sunship Earth programme on the environmental p…

Hear me talkin' to ya
This article is part of a larger attempt to map the movement of jazz within its cultural field, and as such is less concerned with its musicological properties than with the means of its production, consumption and the associated technology and rhetoric. It is the last of these that I am most interested in just here: the question of finding appropriate ways of talking about jazz. I want to suggest that certain kinds of commentary ostensibly dedic…

Critically re-conceptualising early career teacher resilience
In this paper, we describe how and why we adopted a socially critical orientation to early career teacher resilience. In re-conceptualising early career teacher resilience, we expose the normative components of resilience by revealing the implicit values, beliefs and assumptions that underpin most traditional conceptions of resilience. We argue against the hyper-individualisation of the concept because it leads to a diminution of the influence of…
Hamlet
The literary canonisation of Hamlet means that it is now most frequently encountered as a printed text. This crucially reconfigures its character, since Shakespeare wrote for sound, not print, and for an audience habituated to finely nuanced auditory semiotics. Hamlet generates its own soundscape as the major bearer of meanings. Apart from dialogue, its complex repertoire of auditory effects includes instrumental music and song. If we examine the…

Two Paulines, Two Nations
The 1996 election in the Australian state of Queensland disclosed a new political force that had not previously been reckoned with by the major parties, when grassroots conservative Independent Pauline Hanson was elected to the hitherto ironclad Labor seat of Oxley. In August 1997 she took out an injunction against the country’s publicly funded broadcaster, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), preventing them from playing a recording of…

Lend me your ears’
Recent developments in music regulation policy in some European countries show a recognition of changes in the built environment, contemporary demographics and the sonic profile of popular music. These initiatives have not been echoed in Australian music policy, where the primary focus is on the cultural and economic conditions of production and consumption, with little interest in the mechanics and biology of sound production and circulation, an…

Childhood Resilience
In recent times, research has been conducted into childhood resilience, a term which, according to Masten, Best and Garmezy (1990) is defined as the process of, capacity for, or outcome of successful adaptation despite challenging or threatening circumstances. Rutter (1990, p. 181) suggests the term refers to 'the positive pole of the ubiquitous phenomenon of individual difference in people's responses to stress and adversity'. This paper present…
