Evidence needs and community involvement in policy decisions for vaccine-preventable diarrhoeal infections among children under the age of five years
Diarrhoeal diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality among children under five years in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) with Shigella and Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), both targets of ongoing vaccine development, playing major roles. To inform the introduction of vaccines against these pathogens in Ethiopia, Kenya, and Malawi, we assessed evidence needs for technical policy decisions and community engagement in n…
Affinity spaces and the situatedness of intercultural relations between international and domestic students in two Australian schools
This paper interrogates international and domestic peer relations in two Australian schools and how they are shaped by structural, cultural and discursive dimensions of schooling. In particular, it analyses intercultural relations between domestic and international students in the context of policies promoting “internationalisation-at-home”. We argue that how international students are positioned within specific school contexts impacts their sens…

Digital games in the museum
There is growing interest in the incorporation of digital games as part of the suite of offerings in museum education in heritage environments. Digital games are seen as ways of recreating historic worlds, affording empathetic and affective engagement, and increasing interest in and understanding of historical periods or processes, working in complementarity with material exhibitions and artefacts on display. Stakeholders engaged in the developme…

Literature Education in the Asia-Pacific
Games as Text, Games as Action
Contemporary views of literacy, and of English and Language Arts curriculum recognise the importance of digital culture and communication forms in many young people's lives and the multiple forms of literacy students engage with as they work, interact and play. Amongst these, videogames, whether played on PCs, laptops, wiis, or on mobile devices of various kinds stand out as highly popular, engaging and sophisticated emergent cultural forms. Draw…
Literary English and the Challenge of Multimodality
How to understand and argue for the nature and place of literary texts and experience in contemporary English curriculum has been and continues to be the subject of much debate. While literature as traditionally conceptualised remains an important presence in much English curriculum, the notion of what ‘literature’ is, or what the category of ‘literary’ texts and cultural forms might encompass, in a context where literacy is understood as multimo…
‘A Chart for Further Exploration and a Kind of Rallying Call’
Both James Britton and James Moffett were keynote speakers at the Sydney International Federation for the Teaching of English conference in 1980 – a fact reflective of the wide recognition and acceptance of their work and influence throughout Australia by that time. In Victoria, Moffett's writings became known initially through teacher education, in particular at the University of Melbourne and the State College of Victoria, Rusden, then through …
Would the ‘real’ girl gamer please stand up? Gender, LAN cafés and the reformulation of the ‘girl’ gamer
In this paper we consider the significance of cyber 'LAN' cafs as sites where on and off-line practices meet in way that complicates binary notions of the gendered gamer. Existing research into computer games culture suggests a male dominated environment and points to girls' lower levels of competence and participation in games. Building on recent studies interested in the constitution of gender through engagement with online technologies, we dra…
Challenging Notions of Gendered Game Play
This paper challenges notions of gendered game playing practice implicit in much research into young women's involvement with the computer gaming culture. It draws on a study of Australian teenagers playing The Sims Deluxe as part of an English curriculum unit and insights from feminist media studies to explore relationships between gender and game playing practices. Departing from a reliance on predetermined notions of “gender”, “domestic space”…

It Makes You Realize, Really, Just How Deep Your Subtext Is
This paper draws on the notion of discourse to explore complex relationships between teachers and curriculum change. It uses poststructuralist views of discourse to explore ways in which school subjects, such as Literature, are discursively constructed across time, while teachers too are positioned within discourses that shape the ways they understand the subject and themselves as teachers of it
