"We remain committed as ever"
one year after the Voice referendum, a group of 10 Indigenous researchers gathered on Kabi Kabi Country at Marcoola, on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, for a research writing workshop where they responded to a series of objects focused on the Uluru Statement from the Heart and the Australian Voice referendum; the objects were curated within the writing space.This offered the focus for their thoughts, feelings, discussions, and collab…
Exploring Creativity and Extravagance
There has been a recent focus in studies of English morphology on the concept of extravagance as applied to word formation, and on the interplay between extravagance and creativity. This article examines this issue, taking as a test case the phenomenon of double suffixation of phrasal verbs. While double-ER suffixation (fixer-upper, helper-outer) has attracted substantial interest in the literature, less has been said about other suffixes. This a…
Connecting conservation & culture
Migratory marine species (e.g., seabirds, marine mammals, fish, and sea turtles) cross and connect distant communities and ecosystems throughout their transboundary journeys. Due to their multi-jurisdictional and cross-cultural movements, studying, managing, and protecting migratory marine species as well as their habitats and migration routes are deeply political and geographically complex tasks. Despite a place-based cultural connection to migr…
Walking is our asset”
Walking is the primary mode of transport in African cities. Despite a growing number of policies recognizing the need to retain and protect people walking, walking infrastructure is still lacking on the continent. There is a dearth of research about the key barriers and enablers that influence the way in which transport and urban planning policies are implemented in Africa, and international best practices lack relevance for African contexts. Thi…
Lowth and 'Perfect Time
This article examines the influence that Robert Lowth (1710-1787) had both on the terminology and the analysis of the English verb form now generally referred to as the present perfect. It demonstrates that while Lowth did not coin the term, he was largely responsible for its popularization, and for establishing a pattern of analysis that has lasted over the years. The article also examines how the normative tradition established in the 18th cent…
The Use of Attachment Theory in Adoption and Fostering
Jim Walker explores the relevance of attachment theory to fostering and adoption. He begins by focusing on three important qualities for substitute carers: the ability to manage a wide range of feelings, both in oneself and in others; the resolution of past losses and traumas; and the acquisition of reflective function. Emphasis is then paid to gaining an understanding of the attachment patterns of both children and potential substitute carers. C…

Limits of Strategic Management in Voluntary Organizations
The growing interest in the management of voluntary organizations is an important development. Management theorists and others argue that voluntary organizations are poorly managed and that improved management will help to resolve some of their basic problems. A notable aspect of their position is the recent rapid shift of attention from micro-organizational issues (e.g., selection, motivation, leadership styles) to the managerially much more sig…
