First Nations women’s experiences of sport and physical activity in rural and regional Australia
First Nations women’s experiences of sport and physical activity in rural and regional Australia, and perceived impacts on health and wellbeing, were examined within an interpretivist paradigm. Data were collected across two anonymous, online, open-ended surveys, between mid-2020 to mid-2021, from 15 First Nations women aged 20–63 years (M = 40.5 years). The study applied a novel theoretical framework which combined a strengths-based, decolonised…
Born and bred Holden
The Holden brand has been a part of Australian society ever since it produced its first car in 1948. However, Holden’s impact on Australian society and Australian sport has yet to be fully investigated. As such, this study analyses the impact of Holden on Australian culture, sport and on society. Through the use of an online survey of 106 participants, this study was able to identify the impact that Holden had on the lives of Australian communiti…
Cheating’ your way to the top
Sports media holds significant power in informing societal views on performance enhancing drugs (PEDs) which are routinely depicted through the ideals of morality and expected sporting behaviours.This has provided an emergent focus for research studies.This study aims to identify how the Australian media frames PEDs across a diverse range of media sources through the selection of five print and online media publications.Using media framing, agend…
Exclusion, belonging and mental wellness
This study examined how access to, and experiences in, physically active leisure and/or sport impact on women’s physical, social, and emotional health and mental wellness in rural or remote communities across Australia. The online, open-ended survey participants were 92 females, aged 18–76 years (M = 44 years), including 64 women who were university educated, 20 aged 60 years and over, 10 from diverse sexual orientations and gender identities (SO…
Everyone has a weight complex
There are many complex and interrelated personal and structural benefits and constraints to being physically active. In this research, we invited people living in regional, rural and remote (RRR) environments of Australia to share their experiences of being active both currently and historically via an in-depth open-ended online survey. This study focuses on the perspectives of 139 participants, 92 of whom identified as female, 43 identified as m…
Sharks, spiders, snakes, oh my
Media are conduits for people to obtain information about animal species and may therefore influence how people think about these species. This study advances our understanding of animals (and plants) in the media by analysing a final dataset of 638 films categorized in the genre ‘Creature Features’. Through analysing the biography, film poster and trailer on the IMDb database, it was found that sharks were the most depicted species in creature f…
Social Media and Athlete Welfare
While the topic of athlete welfare has gained significant attention in academic literature, to date there has been a primacy placed on physical settings and their ability to augment or thwart the welfare of athletes. The discourse has, therefore, neglected the advent of social media spaces and their potential to have a significant impact on athlete welfare. Social media platforms are now a vital component in the lives of athletes who are increasi…

Australian cricket, race, and First Nations Australians
Games and sport during the colonial period in Australia were rarely hospitable to First Nations people. However, the first Australian cricket team to tour England in 1868 were predominantly First Nations men. While such a tour might appear to be a 'triumph' for race relations in Australia, the details of the tour and treatment of the young men were haunting. The 1868 tour has been glorified in contemporary cricket circles, however, despite this, …
Slow tourism on Instagram
Slow tourism is a holistic tourism concept that promotes sustainability in all aspects of a traveller’s journey. Slow tourism promotes positive outcomes for local communities such as stimulating local economies and minimising aversive environmental impacts; however, little is known about what the term ‘slow tourism’ means to tourists. The current study analysed 600 user generated images including the hashtag ‘slowtourism’ on Instagram to determin…
Investigating Attitudes Toward Sharks in Australia
Understanding attitudes toward sharks and the factors associated with them is important for promoting positive attitudes and support for conservation initiatives. We aimed to investigate attitudes toward two different shark species in an Australian context: white sharks (Carcharodon carcharias, a species that can harm humans) and whale sharks (Rhincodon typus, species that cannot harm humans). Four types of attitudes were assessed (naturalistic, …
The impact of news media portrayals of sharks on public perception of risk and support for shark conservation
Barriers, brands and consumer knowledge
Fast fashion contributes to substantial environmental and ethical impacts at every stage of the product lifecycle and is a continuously growing industry within Australia. While slow fashion exists as an environmentally sustainable fashion alternative and appears to be gaining in popularity, little is known about the knowledge, attitudes and behaviours of the general Australian consumer towards slow fashion. This study aimed to develop an understa…
Sharks on film
Sharks are often a focus of exaggerated news media coverage, with shark-human portrayals and the species typically involved in these interactions being discussed most frequently. This study advanced understanding of sharks in the media by analyzing 109 shark films to investigate how films portray shark-human interactions. Through analysis of the shark film storylines and posters on the online database IMDb, it was found that almost all of these f…

Enhancing the impact of conservation marketing using psychology
My desire to play was stronger than my fear of re-injury’
The aims of this qualitative study were to understand how athletes (a) defined psychological readiness and (b) knew when they were ready to return to soccer following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction surgery. Data were collected from a group of 21 (male and female) athletes who had undergone ACL reconstruction surgery and returned to playing soccer. An open-ended, in-depth online survey was created to gather data on athlete underst…
I just hope people can forgive me’
Prior to the 2016 Olympic Games, Australia’s Chef de Mission Kitty Chiller predicted that the Australian team could win as many as 16 Olympic gold medals. Australia’s Olympic team won a total of eight gold medals and the sports media reacted by suggesting the team had ‘failed’. At the 2016 Olympic Games, three high-profile Australian female athletes apologised to the Australian public for their performances. This study examines these three interc…
Social media and the politics of gender, race and identity
This study investigates issues of gender, race and identity, as enacted through social media, focusing on the abuse experienced by tennis player Serena Williams during the 2015 Wimbledon Championships. A netnographic analysis of discriminatory or abusive comments relating to Williams were collected from 24 sites on two social media platforms, Facebook and Twitter. These platforms are popular sites commonly used for fan/athlete interaction. Willia…
Measuring zoo visitor learning and understanding about orangutans
Despite the endangered status of the orangutan, very little research has sought to understand what people know about this species or the conservation challenges they face. As zoos are well placed to influence such understandings, the present study sought to explore knowledge following a visit to orangutan exhibits at three Australian zoos (N = 240). Two learning assessments were utilised, capturing (1) self-reported learning and (2) understanding…
Harnessing visual media in environmental education
Many animals are currently facing extinction. Conservation education which highlights the impacts of our behaviour on other species survival is crucial. This study provides evidence for the use of visual media to increase knowledge, attitudes and conservation behaviours regarding the highly endangered orangutan. University students (n = 126) were shown two styles of educational presentation (knowledge-based, emotive), representative of material w…
A Review of the Relationship between Indigenous Australians, Dingoes ( Canis dingo ) and Domestic Dogs ( Canis familiaris )
Canids form a large part of Indigenous Australian life and mythology, an association first developed with the dingo, and later with the domestic dog. The relationship between canids and Indigenous Australians is intricate, but unique in that these peoples never domesticated the wild dingo. Neither were dingoes and dogs seen as a source of food nor in many cases considered practical hunting assistants, yet they were highly prized. Apart from featu…
Fear of dogs in a community sample
An investigation was conducted into human fear of dogs and experiences of canine aggression in an adult community sample (n = 292). Consistent with expectations, it was found that, while fear of dogs was relatively common (present in almost half the respondents), fear of dog attacks was less so, and extreme fear of dog attacks was very rare. Women, middle-aged and older adults were more likely to fear dogs than men and younger adults, while older…
