Being Indigenous in the Bureaucracy
Australia’s civil service has had some success in attracting substantial numbers of Indigenous employees. But significant numbers also regularly exit the bureaucracy. Retaining Indigenous employees is recognised as an ongoing difficulty for government. This research with former and current Indigenous civil servants outlines factors they identify as contributing to decisions to leave the bureaucracy. A key finding involves their general sense of b…
Indigenous Studies and Engaged Anthropology
This edited volume seeks to address and update a longstanding yet ongoing area of critical challenge for anthropology: how best to respond to the priorities and concerns of Indigenous people as a f
Looking back to look forward
The Australian Journal of Social Issues is the sole Australian journal concerned with issues of social policy and social justice. Since its first issue in 1961, the AJSI has published a wealth of peer-reviewed scholarship dealing with crucial socialpolicy issues potentially affecting the welfare of Australian citizens. As editors our fundamental vision is to continue to strengthen the journal as a key venue for robust multidisciplinary analysis o…
The 1836 Lewis Collection and the Torres Strait Turtle-Shell Mask of Kulka
The fire that engulfed Sydney's Garden Palace building in 1882 also destroyed much of the ethnological collection of the Australian Museum. Among the objects presumed lost were items from the Lewis Collection, obtained in the Torres Strait in 1836. This collection constituted the museum's entire holdings from the region at that time and the earliest collection of Torres Strait objects held by any institution. This paper aims to bring renewed focu…
The social effects of native title
Native title has had a profound social impact in Australia. Its effects have been felt from the local level through to the national level ever since the success of the Mabo No.2 case in the Federal Court. But despite the involvement of large numbers of anthropologists in the field of native title practice (alongside lawyers, historians, archaeologists and others trained in the social sciences and humanities) there has been surprisingly little ref…
It’s Not What You Know, but How You Use It
Women's Gift‐Fish and Sociality in the Torres Strait, Australia
This paper argues that women's everyday practice of sharing fish at Warraber Island (Torres Strait) can be understood as a form of moral transaction. Gift‐fish are shown to be ‘socially entangled’, a fundamental mode of expressing kin relatedness as well as providing an indication of the current state of such relations. Fish distribution is portrayed locally as both an instance of generosity and of obligation, demonstrating a person's desire to e…
