Community Engagement As A Cornerstone Enabling Learning And Teaching And Research In The Post Modern World, Robbie Collins, O. Curtis, S. Curtis, Laurie Stevenson
Community Engagement As A Cornerstone Enabling Learning And Teaching And Research In The Post Modern World, Robbie Collins, O. Curtis, S. Curtis, Laurie Stevenson
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
This paper demonstrates how community engagement can provide a cornerstone enabling research and learning and teaching to meet the challenges of relativity and uncertainty in a post modern world. In the field of education, the question of relevance is a constant criticism. If relevance is to be achieved, research andlearning and teaching need to be interwoven with community and community concerns, in ways that enhancethe outcomes for all stakeholders. The paper examines an academic’s university community engagement practice from a reflexive and cross disciplinary perspective. It seeks to identify the characteristics and qualities that define successful university community engagement practice …
Providing Language And Academic Skills Support In A Multi-Media And Distributed Learning Environment, Jeannette Stirling, L. Celeste Rossetto
Providing Language And Academic Skills Support In A Multi-Media And Distributed Learning Environment, Jeannette Stirling, L. Celeste Rossetto
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
[extract] This paper examines the role of the language and academic skills (LAS) lecturer in a multi-media and geographically distributed learning environment at the University of Wollongong. By this we mean providing language and academic skills support where subjects comprising various degree programs are taught simultaneously across a range of networked satellite campuses including, at times, the central campus: hence the idea of a ‘distributed learning environment’. Subject delivery to this network of campuses is variously achieved through the use of multi-media teaching and learning technologies such as videoconferencing, web-based resources, online discussion spaces, pod-cast lectures, and face-to-face tutorials. We …
Learning Design Discussions: A Conversation Tool, Elyssebeth Leigh, Wendy Meyers, Elizabeth Rosser
Learning Design Discussions: A Conversation Tool, Elyssebeth Leigh, Wendy Meyers, Elizabeth Rosser
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
We begin with the premise that integrating active learning strategies into previously static modes of presenting knowledge can be complex and difficult. To reduce the complexity of the task we introduce the Learning Design Discussion Model (LDDM) for use at the beginning of collaboration by Learning Designers and Educators considering Role-Based approaches in tertiary subjects. The model helps align the core elements of a) content knowledge, b) learning objectives and c) learning design from the beginning. The model has emerged from efforts to achieve mutual agreement on use of active learning processes to support knowledge acquisition. Early trials indicate the …
E-Teaching Professional Development: Designing A Sustainable Program For Multi-Location Teachers, Wendy Meyers, Dianne Salter
E-Teaching Professional Development: Designing A Sustainable Program For Multi-Location Teachers, Wendy Meyers, Dianne Salter
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
This poster informs the community of a project being undertaken at The University of Wollongong (UOW) to develop a program to support teachers involved in multi-location teaching. UOW has incorporated blended and distributed teaching throughout many Courses. These models rely heavily on educational technologies for delivery, as well as part time and sessional staff, for delivery. This project aims to address the needs of these staff. By examining barriers to utilisation, it will develop a professional development program that utilises flexible delivery strategies for delivery.

Reviewing The Progress Of A Campus-Wide E-Portfolio Rollout, Sarah R. Lambert
Senior Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) - Papers
This poster updates the community on the progress of the campus-wide e-portfolio rollout at the University of Wollongong, since it was reported on at the ASCILITE 2006 conference. During 2007 additional Faculties have come on board to develop a Faculty or program customised template and to release this to their students, and additional Careers Service programs have also developed e-portfolios. By August 2007 around 1200 eportfolios have been released to students and around 150 have been released to staff. 2 early adopters (teachers) have been interviewed to discuss how they integrated the eportfolio into the context of their particular subjects, …
Migrant Workers As Political Agents—Analysis Of Migrant Labourers’ ‘Production Of Everyday Spaces’ In Japan, Hironori Onuki
Migrant Workers As Political Agents—Analysis Of Migrant Labourers’ ‘Production Of Everyday Spaces’ In Japan, Hironori Onuki
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
While specifically focusing on the context of Japan (one of the major destinations of Asian as well as other migrant workers), my research investigates the concrete, contingent and situated practices of global labour migration. the primary research question of my project is: how far and in what ways are global labour migrations implicated in as well as resisting the neoliberal restructing of global political economy? The central hypothesis is that migrant worders, as political subjects, and their everyday social practices not only participate in and depend on but also contest and negotiate the neo-liberal re-configurations of labour-capital relation in the …

Toward Inclusive Citizenship: Analysing Morality Within Citizenship Participation, Jane M. Lymer
Toward Inclusive Citizenship: Analysing Morality Within Citizenship Participation, Jane M. Lymer
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
The problem of attaining citizenship expansion has always been a question of how does one intervene in the political domain when one is not recognized as a political subject with a concomitant capacity for political participation. Historically, progress has been achieved by refiguring political agency as based on performance rather than entitlement. As such, many theorists concerned with attaining political citizenship for oppressed groups of people evoke protest and enactment as a means of citizenship expansion. While there is no doubt that such enactments and protests have been formative to highly developed civil rights, the ability to enact those rights …
Slash As Queer Utopia, Ika Willis
Slash As Queer Utopia, Ika Willis
Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)
In Text, John Mowitt writes that textuality can be understood “in terms of the interplay between what takes place within a cultural production… and what, as yet, has no place within the social”. In this paper I will be trying to tease out the complicated topography produced by this interplay between what takes place and what has no place, in its specific relation to the utopic and queer spaces produced by slash fan fiction. I argue that Mowitt’s understanding of the text allows us to interrogate and to reframe the relationship between textuality and historical/social context (often metaphorized as ‘situatedness’, …

The Development And Use Of Mental Health Triage Scales In Australia, Marc Broadbent, Lorna Moxham, Trudy Dwyer
The Development And Use Of Mental Health Triage Scales In Australia, Marc Broadbent, Lorna Moxham, Trudy Dwyer
Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences - Papers (Archive)
In Australian emergency departments, the triage of people with physical illness and injury is well developed and supported by the Australasian Triage Scale. The Australasian Triage Scale contains brief descriptors of mental illness and it is unknown if these provide the same reliability in triage decision-making for emergency triage nurses assessing people with a mental illness. Specialist mental health triage scales have been developed to cater for this deficit and to aid emergency staff who have lacked training in the assessment and management of people with a mental illness. A review of the development of mental health triage scales and …

Consumption of fish or fish oils rich in the n-3 long chain PUFA EPA and DHA may improve multiple risk factors for CVD. The objective of this study was to determine whether regular consumption of foods enriched with n-3 long-chain PUFA can improve n-3 long-chain PUFA status (erythrocytes) and cardiovascular health. Overweight volunteers with high levels of triacylglycerols (TG; >1·6 mmol/l) were enrolled in a 6-month dietary intervention trial conducted in Adelaide (n 47) and Perth (n 39), and randomised to consume control foods or n-3-enriched foods to achieve an EPA + DHA intake …
Effects Of Fatigue On Patellar Tendon Loading During The Landing Phases Of A Stop-Jump Movement, Suzi Edwards, Bridget J. Munro, Jil Cook, Craig Purdam, Julie R. Steele
Effects Of Fatigue On Patellar Tendon Loading During The Landing Phases Of A Stop-Jump Movement, Suzi Edwards, Bridget J. Munro, Jil Cook, Craig Purdam, Julie R. Steele

Therefore, the purpose of this study was to establish whether there were any significant differences in the patellar tendon forces generated by athletes during the landing phases of a stop-jump (SJ) movement before and after fatigue induced by repetitive SSC exercises. Eighteen soccer and basketball players performed a SJ movement before and after a fatigue protocol. During each SJ trial, three-dimensional kinematic, kinetic and electromyographic data for each subject’s lower limbs were recorded. When fatigued, athletes significantly (p < 0.05) reduced their patellar tendon forces during the SJ movement by reducing knee and hip flexion. Whether “stiff limb” landings reduces the risk of developing patellar tendinopathy by decreasing patellar tendon loading during jumping requires further investigation.
Evidence For Differentiation Of Arousal And Activation In Normal Adults, Mohammad Vaezmousavi, R. J. Barry, Jacqueline Rushby, Adam Clarke
Evidence For Differentiation Of Arousal And Activation In Normal Adults, Mohammad Vaezmousavi, R. J. Barry, Jacqueline Rushby, Adam Clarke
Faculty of Health and Behavioural Sciences - Papers (Archive)
"Arousal" at a particular time has been defined as the energetic stateat that moment, reflected in electrodermal activity and measured by skin conductance level. In contrast, task related "activation" has been defined as the change in arousal from a resting baseline to the task situation. The present study, replicating some aspects of a previous investigation of these ideas in children, aimed to further explore whether the separation of "arousal" and "activation" was useful in describing state effects on the phasic Orienting Response (OR) and behavioral performance. A continuous performance task (CPT) was used with normal adults. It was found that …
Liminality, Temporality And Marginalization In Giorgio Mangiamele’S Migrant Movies, Gitano Rando
Liminality, Temporality And Marginalization In Giorgio Mangiamele’S Migrant Movies, Gitano Rando
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
Giorgio Mangiamele, born in Catania in 1926, migrated to Melbourne in 1952 and constitutes a rare example of CALD involvement in the early development of Australian cinema in the post-war period. His feature film Clay (1965) was the first Australian film to be invited to enter the competition at the Cannes Film Festival. However, despite his significant contribution to the emerging Australian cinematic culture, particularly to the development of ‘art’ cinema, he has received relatively little recognition. Over a thirty year period Mangiamele made fourteen films as director or director/producer. His first productions—The Contract (1953), Unwanted (ca 1957), The Brothers …
A Comparison Of Japanese Persuasive Writing: The Writings Of Japanese As Foreign Language Students In The Nsw Hsc Examination And Japanese Native Speaking Students In High School In Japan, Y. Oe
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
This study uses a functional model of language to examine the 2005 Japanese HSC examination persuasive essays to investigate the language features of the exposition genre, which students produce during the examination. The exam scripts are compared to the essays which were written by Japanese native speaking (JNS) high school students answering the same question. This study seeks to answer two questions: “How successful Japanese persuasive essays are constructed in the HSC Japanese Examination?”, and “To what extent a successful HSC exam model matches the native speaker equivalent?”. The methodology used in this study is Generic Structure Potential (GSP) (Hasan, …
Too Many, Too Late And The Adoption Alternative: Shame And Recent Abortion Debates, Rebecca Albury
Too Many, Too Late And The Adoption Alternative: Shame And Recent Abortion Debates, Rebecca Albury
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
A speech in Adelaide in March 2004 and the decisive vote about the regulation of RU486 provide significant marker events in the most recent Australian debate about abortion policy. In Australia abortion is both regulated by the States, most often through the criminal law, and funded through Medicare by the Australian government. A socially conservative campaign against abortion lead by Tony Abbott, Minister for Health was an attempt to intervene in the popular compromise which seems to both recognise the seriousness of abortion decisions and maintain accessibility; moving people holding views in the middle ground toward a position supporting a …
A Very Gendered Occupation: Australian Women As “Conquerors” And “Liberators”, Christine M. De Matos
A Very Gendered Occupation: Australian Women As “Conquerors” And “Liberators”, Christine M. De Matos
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
The Allied Occupation of Japan (1945-1952) is usually rendered as a masculinist American exercise. Women, when portrayed, are usually Japanese and appear as victims of either Japanese patriarchy or American soldiers, or as the benefactors of Occupation reforms related to constitutional equality and suffrage. Individual American women based in the Occupation headquarters in Tokyo and involved in reforms, such as Beate Sirota Gordon, sometimes occasion mention. What is less known is how (white) women acted as occupiers and their participation in the ‘technologies’ of occupation power. The Pierson and Chaudhuri quote above refers to the need for gendered analyses of …
'Go Ask Alice': Remembering The Summer Of Love Forty Years On, Anthony Ashbolt
'Go Ask Alice': Remembering The Summer Of Love Forty Years On, Anthony Ashbolt
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
In 1960s historiography today, the expression ‘Summer of Love’ is used in three senses. It refers generally to the explosion of psychedelic sounds, images and lifestyles in that decade. It is also code for the overall phenomenon of Haight-Ashbury between 1965 and 1968. Specifically, and more accurately, it applies to the summer of 1967 in the Haight-Ashbury district of San Francisco. While the multiple meanings all carry weight, too often that first general sense of the Summer of Love shields a dialectic of hope and despair behind a banner of optimism and dreams. To put it more bluntly, the hippie …
Hegemony And The Sixties: Observations, Polemics, Meanderings, Anthony Ashbolt
Hegemony And The Sixties: Observations, Polemics, Meanderings, Anthony Ashbolt
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
The concept of cultural hegemony and the 1960s are interconnected in important ways. First, it was in the 1960s that a keen interest in the concept developed. Second, the battle for cultural hegemony today takes place in the shadow of the sixties. The neoconservative agenda has been developed with reference to Vietnam and the liberation movements of the 1960s. The neoconservatives certainly saw sixties radicalism as a challenge to power and privilege. Ironically, some on the Left now beg to disagree and see the radical sixties, in particular the counterculture, as paving the way for a new phase of consumer …
Public Education In The Universe Of Closed Discourse, Anthony Ashbolt
Public Education In The Universe Of Closed Discourse, Anthony Ashbolt
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
IN HIS CLASSIC ANALYSIS of consumer capitalist society, One Dimensional Man, Herbert Marcuse pinpointed the crucial role of language in fashioning conformist thinking. A one-dimensional framework of thought prevailed and alternative ways of thinking were cast out, characterised as propaganda or absorbed into the dominant discourse and thus suitably domesticated: "The unification of opposites which characterises the commercial and political style is one of the many ways in which discourse and communication make themselves immune against the expression of protest and refusal . . . In exhibiting its contradictions as the token of its truth, this universe of discourse closes …

Balancing Bias In The Media, Sharon Beder
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
The news is presented to give the impression it is factual, uncoloured by journalistic bias, so each side of a controversy is accurately reported. This paper outlines the way that the influence of editors, owners, advertisers – as well as journalistic conventions – are more important to the final result of journalism than the reporting skills or biases of individual journalists.
How Do We Get The Place Of Europe In World History Right?, Gregory C. Melleuish
How Do We Get The Place Of Europe In World History Right?, Gregory C. Melleuish
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
One of the great insults of the contemporary historical world is the term ‘Eurocentric’. It is invariably combined with notions of European imperialism and the supposed desire of Europe to dominate the world. In fact the term ‘Eurocentric’ can have a fairly innocuous meaning, denoting no more than the simple observation that the terminology and periodisation that we use to describe European history may not have any relevance when we are dealing with non- European civilisations. For example what does ‘pre-modern’ mean in a Chinese context where many of the features of European modernity have been present for over a …
Surveillant Institutional Eyes In South Korea: From Discipline To A Digital Grid Of Control, Kwang-Suk Lee
Surveillant Institutional Eyes In South Korea: From Discipline To A Digital Grid Of Control, Kwang-Suk Lee
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
This paper investigates the shift from disciplinary societies (the visible and physical violence of power) to control societies (the modulating and normalizing techniques of power) in South Korea. At the institutional level, during the period of repressive and disciplinary society in Korea (1948–1992), the regulatory control systems of the state were mainly performed by two formidable apparatuses: the national ID system and the National Security Law. On the other hand, the deployment of institutional power since 1993 has been based on the logic of free-floating control, dispersion, normalization, and modulation. The present study examines how the techniques of power were …
Questioning A Neoliberal Urban Regeneration Policy: The Rhetoric Of “Cities Of Culture” And The City Of Gwangju, Korea, Kwang-Suk Lee
Questioning A Neoliberal Urban Regeneration Policy: The Rhetoric Of “Cities Of Culture” And The City Of Gwangju, Korea, Kwang-Suk Lee
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
The present study traces recent trends in cultural policy concerning “cities of culture” in South Korea. The paper is a case study of the city of Gwangju, known as the birthplace of modern democracy in Korea. Currently, public input from below into the urban regeneration project for Gwangju is almost nonexistent, while most urban regeneration policies have been implemented from the top by elites who enjoy exhibiting their performances through constructing massive edifices rather than encouraging the preservation of such intangibles as historical significance through cultural participation from below. The government’s policy of promoting Gwangju as the “city of culture” …

Post-Burden Or New Burden Korean Cinema?: Outside Looking In At The Latest Golden Age, 1996-?, Brian M. Yecies
Faculty of Arts - Papers (Archive)
This work-in-progress examines the paradoxical nature of what I call Koreas post-burden cinema a present-day film industry that has survived Japanese colonialism, American occupation, civil war, prolonged dictatorship, rapid industrialization, economic crisis and severe censorship. For nearly a century filmmakers have learned and practised their trade under these challenging social, political, cultural, economic and industrial constraints, and outlived them. This paper uses a case study of The President's Last Bang to illustrate the divergent freedoms that have enabled representative commercial, art-house, independent and animation filmmakers to transcend national and cultural borders by telling previouslyforbidden stories and breathing a universal but …
