First Nations’ sovereignties and the Australian common law: Unfinished business for the High Court
In this article, I propose a return to the High Court in the wake of the failure of the Voice referendum. This would enable a critical review of the common law’s treatment of First Nations’ sovereignties. I argue that, as with Mabo in 1992 regarding native title, recognition of prior First Nations’ sovereignties is available within existing common law. While case law appears unpromising, I critique judicial reasoning, identify crevices in judgmen…
Where Do We Draw the Line? Perceptions of Abuse of Older Adults and Their Association With Ageism
Results raise serious concern about the perception of abuse toward older adults. Future studies should investigate the reasons for such perceptions and other contributing factors in order to identify effective mechanisms for change
Making sense of farmland biodiversity management: An evaluation of a farmland biodiversity management communication strategy with farmers
Biodiversity is a valuable resource that supports sustainability within agricultural systems, yet in contradiction to this agriculture is recognised as a contributor to biodiversity loss. Agricultural advisory services are institutions that support sustainable agricultural development, employing a variety of approaches including farmer discussion groups in doing so. This study evaluates the impact of a farmland biodiversity management (FBM) commu…
I will never play the Dane”: Shakespeare and the performer's failure
The cultural prestige accorded to Shakespeare's great roles has made them high watermarks for ‘great acting’ in general. They are therefore also uniquely capable of channelling a performer's sense of his own failure. The 1987 film Withnail & I famously ends with its title character, an out‐of‐work actor and self‐destructive alcoholic, delivering Hamlet's “What a piece of work is a man” to an audience of unresponsive wolves. And in 2014's The Trip…
The average Scottish man has a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, lying there with a portion of chips’: Prospects for change in Scottish men's constructions of masculinity and their health-related be…
Men's apparent resistance to recommended health practices and their engagement with 'high-risk' behaviours has been associated with an increased risk of morbidity or mortality. Recent work has highlighted the need to think critically about the health-promoting behaviours that men appear reluctant to engage in, as well as examining those they embrace, and explore the gendered meanings that men attribute to their beliefs and behaviours.

The geography of finance: After the storm
This article reviews the idea that geography is becoming less and less important in finance as a result of the revolution in information and communications technology and of deregulation, in the aftermath of the economic and financial crisis of 2008. Reviewing four scenarios for the future of finance, it seems likely that the drive towards 'the end of geography' will be slowed by the crisis, as the wisdom of allowing the marketplace to self-regul…
