Translating research into play
Digital games in museums face the challenge of translating complex scientific concepts into engaging experiences that facilitate both individual learning and peer discussion. This practice insight examines Symbiosville, a touchscreen learning game designed using an event $\rightarrow$ choice $\rightarrow$ consequence pedagogical model to increase visitor understanding of the human microbiome's role in health. Through visitor observations and surv…
A participatory approach to exhibition theme development
Museums have been developing methods to facilitate public participation, deepening engagement in exhibitions and programs. The futures studies field has also been developing participatory methods, which practitioners use to immerse people in experiences of imagined futures and to build futures literacy. With the emergence of future-focused museums such as MOD., a growing body of knowledge and practices are emerging at the intersection of these tw…
Exploring the relationships between local agrifood system resilience, multiple measures of development, and health in the Southern United States
Resilience has become an increasingly popular concept, with numerous frameworks to address a range of topics. Among other approaches, constructing domain-specific measures focused on the local level provides opportunities to explore the relationships between resilience and development concerns like inequality, poverty, health, and efforts to improve wellbeing. Informed by livelihoods, community capitals, and resilience literature, and using publi…

Unlike Australia, long‐established treaties in Canada, the United States and New Zealand as well as greater theoretical clarity in identifying the process of colonization and its ill‐effects on Indigenous peoples have p…
Deregulation or Better Regulation? Issues for the Public Sector
Portrait of the Family within the Total Economy. A Study in Longrun Dynamics, Australia 1788-1990
On Polemics and Patriarchy
Arguments found unpalatable by academics are not necessarily polemical, a point which Dr Endres and his fellow 'numbers-men' in Australasian economic history should keep in mind when they consider the substance of my criticisms in 'Colonial Women's Employment as Seen by Nineteenth-Century Statisticians and Twentieth-Century Economic Historians', in Labour History, 51. A (small) part of my research into women's work in colonial Australial has invo…
Colonial Women's Employment as Seen by Nineteenth-Century Statisticians and Twentieth-Century Economic Historians
Women do not, must not, live for themselves. It is their mission to combat against the worldly spirit which men too often cherish at home and abroad; it is theirs to soften the hard selfish feelings of the business life; to refine, exalt, purify, and strengthen ? and all this may be done without giving up the seat by the fireside, without one curtain lecture, without any declamation of 'Women's Rights' . . . 'Woman's Work' must begin at home, and…
