Opium Pathways
This article examines the impact of natural resources on civil wars by focusing on the challenges faced by armed groups attempting to profit from Myanmar's opium sector. Economic theories of conflict hold that the presence of lootable resources can prolong civil wars by providing non‐state armed groups with the resources and incentives to challenge the state. However, the emphasis on the presence of lootable resources and the capabilities of arme…
Why should policy makers prioritise flexibility when recruiting professionals from STEM backgrounds? An Australian study
STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) expertise is essential for any modern workforce and economy. Teacher shortages, particularly in STEM fields, have become particularly acute in recent times, in Australia as elsewhere. Professionals with qualifications and experience in STEM can play a key role in addressing these issues. This Australian project, funded by the New South Wales Department of Education, sought the views of pre-s…
Student Perceptions of AI-Generated Avatars in Teaching Business Ethics
In our postdigital world, unseen algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) underpin most business and educational technologies and systems. Also, the use of educational data to better understand and support teaching and learning is growing in higher education. Other AI technologies such as synthetic media and AI-generated avatars are increasingly used to present video-based content in business and society but are less common in educational cont…
Intellectual freedom and teaching performance assessment in Australia
The requirement for Australian initial teacher education (ITE) providers to administer a Teaching Performance Assessment (TPA) highlights a tension between policymaking directives and academic independence. It has raised fears of entrenching simplistic notions of measurement and evidence into a professional field distinguished by its complex relationship with intellectual and academic labour. Drawing on focus group data and reflections of academi…
Pre-service teachers becoming researchers
Contemporary schools seek to employ teachers who are curious learners, who can employ practitioner inquiry skills to investigate, inform and grow their own classroom practice, responsive to their circumstances. As a profession, the question we must ask is how do we best prepare and continue to equip teachers with the necessary research skills to investigate and inform their own practice? In this study, we share our pedagogical stance and features…
Recovering from the market citizenship experiment
Recent changes in industrial relations policies represent a break with the Australian experiment with market citizenship at work. At the Federal level, they involve the adaptive reuse of legacies that have, in recent decades, been regarded as secondary to the system (e.g. awards and industrial tribunals) to renovate the foundations of labour law. Innovations in wages policy are helping repair the foundational economy (i.e. sectors providing the i…

Measuring, Modeling, and Forecasting the Mental Wealth of Nations
The COVID-19 pandemic has exposed the deep links and fragility of economic, health and social systems. Discussions of reconstruction include renewed interest in moving beyond GDP and recognizing “human capital”, “brain capital”, “mental capital”, and “wellbeing” as assets fundamental to economic reimagining, productivity, and prosperity. This paper describes how the conceptualization of Mental Wealth provides an important framing for measuring an…
“A contribution to my country”
International attention to improving learning outcomes has increasingly focused on the impact of teachers, those that directly implement national education goals. For small, resource-poor countries where communities have minimal schooling experience, the role of the teacher in building academic knowledge and skills is even more valued, to both support that community and the nation as a whole. Yet governments and other stakeholders may not know mu…
What attracts teachers to rural and remote schools? Incentivising teachers’ employment choices in New South Wales
Staffing rural and regional schools remains an intractable problem. This study identifies effective incentives for attracting teachers to difficult-to-staff rural and remote schools in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. Compared to their urban counterparts, students in these schools are disadvantaged by teacher staff shortages, inexperience and attrition. The research investigated the ability for existing incentives of the NSW Department of Educat…
Traditional Visual Language
This paper investigates the characteristics of the indigenous linguistic landscape and the features of traditional visual language under the conceptual framework of Geo-semiotics, which has been generally overlooked in the literature. As a case study of the indigenous linguistic landscape situated in ancient waterfront towns of China, the ethnographic data was collected through a field-based survey for 3 months by recording hundreds of photograph…

Unexpected corporate outcomes from hedge fund activism in Japan
Hedge fund activism has been identified in the USA as a driver of enduring corporate governance change and market perception. We investigate this claim in an empirical study to see whether activism produced similar results in Japan in four representative areas: management effectiveness, managerial decisions, labour management and market perception. Experience from the USA would predict positive changes at Japanese target companies in these four a…
Poor understanding? Challenges to Global Development Education
As members of a global community, we cohabit a metaphorically shrinking physical environment, and are increasingly connected one to another, and to the world, by ties of culture, economics, politics, communication and the like. Education is an essential component in addressing inequalities and injustices concerning global rights and responsibilities. The increasing multicultural nature of societies locally, enhanced access to distal information, …
Professional Skills
This chapter addresses the under-researched area of professional skills formation in a comparative perspective. The first part reviews the main disciplinary frameworks for analyzing the education and training of professionals. The second part develops a comparative political economy typology for categorizing varieties of professional skill formation systems. This section identifies national institutions of relevance for professional skills, which…
Pre-Employment Skill Formation in Australia and Germany
This chapter provides a critical analysis of the role that vocational education and training plays in preparing young people for the labour market in two contrasting systems – Australia and Germany. In Germany, this occurs mainly within the structure of the “dual system”. In Australia, it occurs within a system of comprehensive high schools, where vocational studies are located within the senior secondary certificates. In Australia, it also occur…
International Skill Flows and Migration
Migrants are increasingly skilled. Historically British emigration was disproportionately skilled and new comparative OECD data shows the continuing brain drain from Europe to the USA. However skilled migration is best understood as skilled mobility not migration: permanent settlement in a destination country is a limiting case within a multiplicity of movements exemplified by the international commuting of the financial services elite. Immigrati…
Projecting the Impact of Information Technology on Work and Skills in the 2030s
The research literature in computer science provides a way of understanding the growing capabilities of information technology (IT) and anticipating their future effect on work and skills. This chapter reviews a set of recent computer science articles to identify the IT capabilities that have been demonstrated in research settings. These capabilities are compared to information on occupational ability requirements to identify occupations that are…
The Oxford Handbook of Skills and Training
Skills and workforce development are at the heart of much research on work, employment and management. Equally policy makers and managers throughout the world often cling to skill, believing that better development of them is the answer to a seemingly expanding range of practical and policy challenges. But are they so important? To what extent can they make a difference for individuals, organisations and nations? How are the supply and - more imp…

Unsustainable employment portfolios
This Debates and Controversies contribution introduces the notion of an employment portfolio to explore how economies create combinations of employment. It is not simply the number of jobs but the factor share distributed to labour and the sectoral mix and composition that matter. Three case studies of employment portfolio (Australia, California and the UK) are used to show how previous attempts at structural reform failed to deliver sustainable …

Dealing with Difference
Australia continues to develop as a multicultural society with levels of immigration increasing significantly over recent years as a result of government policies. More recently, the new period of financial turmoil, continuing threats from terrorism and environmental concerns, have all exacerbated the challenges of dealing with difference in our society. In response, schools continue to face the challenges of the impact of a range of different cu…
Discovery of Ancient Canoes on the Clyde
John Buchanan wrote in to communicate the discovery of two canoes in the vicinity of Glasgow and the River Clyde. These two canoes accreted yet more evidence of the earliest rivercraft on the Clyde, fifteen such boats having been found in the 70 years preceding the publication of this article
Iron Keys Deposited in the Foundation of Glasgow Bridge
John Buchanan, a corresponding member of the Society, wrote to inform them of two large iron keys that were found deposited in the foundations of the ancient bridge of the River Clyde
Notice of the discovery of an ancient boat, of singular construction, on the banks of the Clyde
Corresponding member John Buchanan sent a notice that a canoe had been uncovered on the banks of the Clyde. This is the sixteenth canoe to be discovered in this area. Buchanan describes how the construction of this canoe differed from the previous examples and notes that the positioning that the boat was uncovered in suggests it was overturned in a storm. The canoe did not survive the removal from the position it was found in. Buchanan observed a…
Notice of recent discoveries of Roman Remains at Cadder, on the Antonine Wall
Mr Buchanan discusses a section of the Antonine wall near Glasgow where antiquarians expected to find a Roman fort. Traditionally, it was assumed that this fort was located somewhere near the parish church of Cadder, although there is no mention of the fort in Gordon's 1726 text on Roman sites. Buchanan suggests that this fort was located between the wall and the parish minister's manse, based evidence from Hamilton of Wishaw's publication (1710)…
Discovery of an iron instrument lately found imbedded in a natural seam of coal in the neighbourhood of Glasgow
An unusual item found in a coal seam near Glasgow was exhibited and correspondence from John Buchanan regarding the find was read out. He found it odd that the item, clearly made by humans, was found encased in coal. Ultimately, it was decided by those present that the item was modern, perhaps part of a borer broken from an earlier search for coal. The article is followed by the notes from the first conversazione of the session, held on Dec. 15, …
Notice of the Barrier of Antoninus Pius
Notes in connexion with twelve Autograph Letters by Major-General James Wolfe, who fell at the Capture of Quebec on 13th September 1759, addressed to Captain, afterwards Lieut.-Colonel William Rickson…
On the day, John Buchanan exhibited and donated some letters written by General James Wolfe to the Society’s collections. He highlights their provenance and importance to the study of Wolfe’s life and character. There is also some discussion of the person who the letters were addressed to, William Rickson
Notice of Two Pieces of Roman Sculpture found at Arniebog, Dumbartonshire, in June 1868 (With Photogrphs of the Sculptures.)
A description of two sculptured stones discovered by a local farmer in 1868 near to a watch-tower on the Antonine Wall. The stones show two sculptured figures: Neptune and another figure that the author suggests could be a British captive. He argues that this sculptured stone may have been created by the Second Legion, based on the art style, subject choice and the location of the finds. He also describes similar sculptured slabs from the area an…

Recent surveys of Australian 'social history' are virtually unanimous in finding that social historians have reached a methodological impasse.2 This impasse is seen as being constituted by the barren confrontation between the established tradition of 'labour history' with its focus on …
Industrial Relations at Work
Whitehead and Wilber
The question of how to interpret the ideas and evidence from the transpersonal realm has been a challenge to western psychology since its inception. This article illustrates how process philosophy, as developed by Alfred North Whitehead, can serve as a theoretical foundation for transpersonal psychology. Making it especially qualified for this role are process philosophy's unique approach to the nature of experience, its openness to spiritual mat…

Racist in the woodpile? Prejudice and education
Even in totalitarian regimes, freedom of thought presumably cannot be outlawed, provided that such thought remains unspoken and unwritten. In Australia, freedom of expression is taken-for-granted. This paper sets out to theorise my teaching practice/s, as I enact some of my theories. It emerges from my recent attempts to encourage in my students a greater sense of empathy towards others, and adoption of a multiplicity of perspectives. The context…

Teacher Retention and Attrition
The provision and maintenance of quality teachers is a matter of priority for the profession. Moreover, teacher attrition is costly to the profession, to the community and to those teachers who leave feeling disillusioned. There is a need to investigate the experiences of early career teachers to consider how these issues contribute to decisions about staying in or leaving the profession. This paper reports on an aspect of a larger study on teach…
