Impact of acute mental fatigue on cricket-related performance measures in university level indoor cricket players
Acute mental fatigue affects elements of sporting performance such as technical performance or decision making in high-level athletes, however less is known about the effects in non-elite sport. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of acute mental fatigue on cricket specific performance and reaction time in university-level cricketers during the indoor competitive season. Ten male university cricket players (Age 18-23 years, height 183…
The Inverted Hierarchy
Indigenous communities have long been marginalized and underrepresented in democracies, yet we know little about how publics evaluate Indigenous people who are thinking of running as candidates. Using two experimental surveys with nationally representative samples of Australian adults, we examine how citizens assess the personality traits of eight women and men who are interested in running for office. All eight have identical biographies, other …

The dialectics of leadership identity construction
Challenging oversimplified models, the leader identity literature calls for new perspectives of leadership identity construction (LIC). Using a collective leadership lens and narrative methods, this collaborative study explores how Indigenous women’s leadership identities develop within a contest for power and voice. Observations, interviews, and micro-ethnographies helped identify how history, community dynamics and cultural contradictions influ…

More partisans than parachutes, more successful than not
While the number of elected Indigenous representatives has increased over the past two decades, we know little about their pathways to candidature, which parties they stand for, the winnability of seats they stand in, and whether they are successful. Using election data from 2001 to 2021, and interviews with 50 (or 80%) of all Indigenous candidates between 2010 and 2019, this study provides answers to these questions. It finds, first, that Indige…
Usher syndrome, an unseen/hidden disability
Usher syndrome is a rare, unseen, inherited genetic disability and is a main cause of acquired deafblindness in the United Kingdom. The aim of this descriptive phenomenological study was to develop an understanding of the experiences of diagnosis and living with Usher syndrome, from the perspectives of adults living in England. The social model of disability and Erik Erikson’s identity development theory provided theoretical perspectives pertinen…
What silence can teach us about race and leadership
Silence is laden when it comes to race and leadership. We believe it is critical to reclaim the kind of silence that supports conscious transformation. Our contribution in this endeavor is twofold. Firstly, we distinguish between fear-based silence and sacred silence. Fear-based silence can be a running away from discomfort, a covering up of trepidation and anxiety. It can lead to collective amnesia and willful ignorance, a hoarding of status, pr…
Surfacing assumptions via 'metaxic' method
The purpose of this article is to present an arts-based method for collaborative research underpinned by the performative turn in ethnography (Denzin, 2003). The article presents the 'metaxic method', building on the term metaxis invented by Boal (1995) whereby individuals feel 'belonging completely and simultaneously to two different, autonomous worlds' (1995: 43). Before bringing participants into a research engagement using the metaxic method …
A Study of Academic Genre
Higher Education students in Vietnam are increasingly expected to write in English for university and professional purposes. This study identified the written texts in English that postgraduates had written for university purposes and explored their perceptions of or attitudes towards these. Using a classification of university genres developed from the British Academic Written English (BAWE) Corpus, ten case study students showed how their exper…
Investigating the Effects of Spacing on Working Memory Training Outcome
Our findings have practical implications by showing that the variation in training schedule, at least within the range used here, does not seem to be a crucial element for training benefits
The Legalities of Revoking University Degrees for Misconduct
The revocation of university degrees, whilst once unheard of, has been increasingly employed by Australian universities in the wake of high-profile cheating scandals. Yet, to date, there is only one reported Australian case, Re La Trobe University; Ex Parte Hazan in which a student has challenged a university’s decision to revoke a degree. However, this case does not comprehensively address the legal issues surrounding decisions to revoke degrees…
Empowering People Experiencing Usher Syndrome as Participants in Research
Engaging people from marginalised groups such as the deafblind and Usher communities to participate in research has historically proved challenging, mainly due to communication differences between participants and researcher. Therefore, an approach called ‘Multiple Sensory Communication and Interview Methods’ (MSCIM) was developed and used when conducting research with people who are deafblind and have Usher syndrome. This article considers the v…
Containing, contesting, creating spaces
Drawing on the experiences of 29 Australian Indigenous artists and arts leaders, this article explores the way these individuals provide leadership by expressing and resisting cultural identities of Aboriginality. Scholars have shown how a key activity in leadership is ‘identity work’, or negotiating a sustainable leadership identity, yet much of the scholarship to date neglects context and cultural dimensions of identity work in leadership. Our …
Navigating the territories of Indigenous leadership
This article explores the leadership of Australian Indigenous artists and arts leaders. We advance the idea of ‘territories’ to convey the overlapping contexts in which Indigenous artistic leaders work, and through this framework seek to highlight the embodied ways individuals enact leadership across country and community. Thematic, narrative and discursive analysis of 29 in-depth interviews with diverse Indigenous artists identify four territori…
