A theoretical conceptualisation of connection to culture in Australian First Peoples children
Connection to culture in Australian First Peoples children is an important social determinant of health in child development and wellbeing. The current study draws upon the collective knowledge of Australian First Peoples Elders and community leaders to collaboratively develop the first theoretical conceptualisation of connection to culture in Australian First Peoples children. Through participatory action research, we integrated both Western and…
Weaving First Peoples' knowledge into a university course
First Peoples' knowledge at university lies within a contested knowledge space. The incompatibilities and differences between Western and First Peoples' knowledge systems means attempts to superficially ‘add’ First Peoples' content to university courses are often ineffective and tokenistic. Considering these issues, this paper reflects on the design and implementation of weaving First Peoples' knowledge and perspectives throughout a service-learn…

Multi-Site Bilingual Team-Based Grounded Theory Research: A Retrospective Methodological Review
Successful management of a multi-site bilingual team-based grounded theory study requires overcoming key challenges associated with implementation of a large-scale, multi-faceted project. This article retrospectively reviews the methodological strategies employed during a multi-site bilingual team-based grounded theory study that investigated the professional adaptation experiences of migrant social workers in Canada. The article presents the str…
Teacher Narratives and Student Engagement: Testing Narrative Engagement Theory in Drug Prevention Education
Testing narrative engagement theory, this study examines student engagement and teachers' spontaneous narratives told in a narrative-based drug prevention curriculum. The study describes the extent to which teachers share their own narratives in a narrative-based curriculum, identifies dominant narrative elements, forms and functions, and assesses the relationships among teacher narratives, overall lesson narrative quality, and student engagement…
Aligning Perspectives of Subjective Well-Being: Comparing Spouse and Colleague Perceptions of Social Worker Happiness
Social workers experience higher rates of burnout and attrition when compared to other health related occupational groups. Previous research on the well being of social workers has tended to focus on the social workers themselves. But the development of well-being is dynamic and is fostered through relationships and interactions with others. In the case of social workers, these relationships include workplace, professional, and personal life inte…

Road User Fees Instead of Fuel Taxes: The Quest for Political Acceptability
In light of recent regulatory changes in federal fuel economy standards for cars and trucks, the consensus forecast is that motor fuel taxes will not be an adequate source of dedicated funding for roadway maintenance and construction. This article accepts the notion that mileage fees are a promising replacement for the fuel tax and considers steps that might be taken to enhance the political acceptability of such a reform. The authors argue that …
Drifting from the mainstream: The religious identity of Australian core Catholic youth
Religious communities have an obvious interest in passing on their beliefs and practices to future generations. Many traditional churches, however, report major difficulties in retaining the interest and involvement of adolescents. This paper seeks to explore some of the beliefs and values of Australian core Catholic youth (14‐ to 15‐years‐old). Fifty‐eight semi‐structured interviews were conducted with adolescents with a pre‐existing connection …
Putting the "Up" in Bottom-up Peacebuilding: Broadening the Concept of Peace Negotiations
A new theory of how nations negotiate is described wherein peoples negotiate, not just political leaders, and the negotiations of the latter are affected by the former. We draw on theories and concepts from Track Two diplomacy, citizen peacebuilding, civic democratization, and social movements to develop an integrated theory of how peoples negotiate. That is, we demonstrate how citizen peacebuilders create the democratic, social, cultural and hum…
Going to church: Attitudes to church attendance amongst Australian core Catholic youth
Religious communities have an obvious interest in passing on their beliefs and practices to future generations. Many traditional churches, however, report major difficulties in retaining the interest and involvement of adolescents. This study seeks to explore attitudes to a key indicator of traditional practice, church attendance, amongst Australian core Catholic youth (14–15 years of age). Fifty‐eight semi‐structured interviews were conducted wi…
Reversing Grassland Degradation and Improving Herders' Livelihoods in the Altai Mountains of Mongolia
In Mongolia, grasslands and steppes are currently home to over 25 million head of livestock and 192,000 herding families. Nomadic livestock producers are the backbone of the economy. As in other areas in the region (eg western China), herders are facing very serious pasture degradation. Government officials and herders agree that many local carrying capacities are exceeded. These problems have been aggravated by 3 recent extremely severe winters.…

A Dynamical Systems Analysis of Adolescent Substance Abuse
Models from dynamical systems theory were fit to the intraindividual variability In adolescent self-reported cigarette and alcohol use. A dampened linear oscillator model (potentially like a pendulum with friction) and a nonlinear oscillator model with two attractors were compared. The nonlinear oscillator model and two coupled oscillators for cigarette and alcohol use were rejected. Independent dampened linear oscillators for smoking and drinkin…
Black Past, Grey Future? A Post-Dayton View of Bosnia and Herzegovina. A Personal Essay Based on the Author's Experience in Bosnia in 1996 and 1997

Black Past, Grey Future: A Post-Dayton View of Bosnia and Herzegovina. A Personal Essay Based on the author's Experience in Bosnia in 1996 and 1997
Before I left for Bosnia in early March, 1996, I did some reading, obtained briefings, and found in the basement an old Serbo-Croatian phrase book. In large print on the cover it said, inaccurately: 'With this book you need never be at a loss when conversing with Serbo-Croat speaking people.' However, there were some useful phrases inside, such as 'Where can I buy a rifle?' and 'How many Men of War are lying in your harbour?'Thus equipped, I step…

Decarceration in the Federal Republic of Germany
The West Germans have succeeded, almost without noticing, in considerably reducing their prison population over the last six years. Through a process of elimination, this article narrows down the possible explanations for this decline to a substantial shift in the way prosecutors and judges perceive and carry out their functions. It shows that the prison population has been reduced not by passing shorter sentences, but by remanding and sentencing…
Intentions and Conventions: A Critique of Quentin Skinner's Method for the Study of the History of Ideas
This paper plays critic to Quentin Skinner's much tougher role as methodological innovator in the practice of the history of ideas. It argues that the continuing centrality of intentions in Skinner's proposals as illustrated in his historical examples results in descriptions which are too often unproven or unproveable or unenlightening or wrong. Serious doubts are raised about the theoretical propriety of Skinner's doctrine of intentions as a key…
Lavater's Physiognomy in England
When Johann Caspar Lavater died in 1801, a leading British periodical, The Scots Magazine, quite rightly acknowledged that he had been, for many years, one of the most famous men in Europe. 1 Part of his fame rested on his capable and conscientious performance of duties as a pastor and a religious writer, roles which made him loved and respected by his fellow citizens of Zurich who literally flocked about him in the streets. But his fame was base…

The Origins of CSIRO: Science and the Commonwealth Government 1901-1926
March 16th, 1966, marked the jubilee of Commonwealth sponsored scientific research in Australia. In 1916 the Commonwealth Government set up an Advisory Council of Science and Industry. This was the culmination of an interest in scientific research which went back to the very beginning of federation and had been expressed by active attempts to bring science to the aid of agriculture. This book is an account of the developments which led up to the …

Struggling Upward: The Minister's Charge and A Cool Million
The informing purpose of Nathanael West's A Cool Million; Or, The Dismantling of Lemuel Pitkin (1934) is to destroy the "rags to riches" story popularized by Horatio Alger. A Cool Million would describe, West wrote, "The break-down of the American dream." "I'm re-writing the Horatio Alger myth - from barge boy to president or from shirt-sleeves to shirtsleeves in one generation."1 Not only did West read Alger in preparation for his novel, but he …
Csir 1926–1939
The Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR, later to become CSIRO) was established in 1926 to replace the pre‐existing Institute of Science and Industry. Its beginning was suffused with an optimism based on surpluses in Commonwealth revenues in the years 1926–8, an optimism which was reflected in the action of the Parliament in voting the sum of ł500,000 to be placed to the credit of a Trust Fund to give the new organization a good …
