Social Implications Of Wearable Computing And Augmediated Reality In Every Day Life (Ieee Symposium On Technology And Society, Istas13), Katina Michael
Associate Professor Katina Michael
It was in July 2012 that Steve Mann and I corresponded on the possibility of hosting a conference on wearable computing in Toronto, Canada. Steve had just returned home from a family holiday to France and publicly blogged about an unfortunate incident that had happened to him while away. On 17th July 2012 he posted: “Physical assault by McDonald’s for wearing Digital Eye Glass”. We both knew the timing was right for such an event that was not just a technical engineering or applied orientation on the theme of smart worlds, but an event that would grapple with the dichotomies …

Ohs In China-Work In Progress, Rowan Cahill, Di Kelly
Ohs In China-Work In Progress, Rowan Cahill, Di Kelly
Rowan Cahill
This article explores the barriers and challenges to effective implementation of occupational health and safety regulation (OHS), and occupational exposure limits (OELs) in China in order to identify the lessons for social science scholars and activists. It finds that formal labour legislation, including occupational health and safety legislation is relatively extensive, but rarely effectively realised. This has partly been because of the pace of political and economic transformation in China. As a result, the soft infrastructure of skills and knowledge necessary for an active, effective and genuinely protective OHS system are inchoate, and often, as OHS awareness has grown, firms' …

Introduction, Rowan Cahill
Introduction, Rowan Cahill
Rowan Cahill
This collection of poems by Ernest Antony (1894-1960) was first published in 1930, and since then has been largely forgotten, except for the title poem, 'The Hungry Mile', which has become iconic, but generally attributed to 'Anonymous'. This edition was published by the Maritime Union of Australia, and Cahill's 'Introduction' is the first detailed account of the poet's work and life.
Bilateral Blogging, Lucas Ihlein
Bilateral Blogging, Lucas Ihlein
Lucas M Ihlein
In this discussion I consider the social and aesthetic functions of participatory visual art practice, with specific reference to my recent project "Bilateral Kellerberrin". Nicholas Bourriaud, in his book Relational Aesthetics, argues that the current era is characterised by the “reification” of social interactions. For Bourriaud, everyday interactions have become commodified and transformed into products which can be sold back to us. Bourriaud sees a role for contemporary visual art in resisting this commodification of everyday experience. He asserts that art is able to bloom in the gaps which are not controlled or mediated by commerce. Some art practices, then, …

Rowan Cahill
Account of the wartime strike by Australian troops in Sydney, 1916, in defence of their working conditions. This action involved thousands of soldiers, mutiny, and a march through the streets of Sydney culminating in violence and bloodshed. The strike tends to be either absent from, or misrepresented in, Australian martial histories.

An account of the long records of internationalism of the Seamen's Union of Australia (SUA) and the Waterside Workers' Federation (WWF), and the way these records contributed to vital international support for the Maritime Union of Australia (MUA) during the bitter Australian 'War on the Waterfront' (1998). The MUA was formed in 1993 following the amalgamation of the SUA and the WWF.

75th Anniversary Of The Foundation Of The Communist Party Of Australia, 1995, Rowan Cahill
75th Anniversary Of The Foundation Of The Communist Party Of Australia, 1995, Rowan Cahill
Rowan Cahill
The 75th Anniversay of the foundation of the Communist Party of Australia (CPA) was commemorated in Sydney in 1995. Although the Party voluntarily wound up in 1991, its impact and legacy on the nation was, and is, an ongoing subject of scholarly interest and debate. This article is Cahill's report of the commemoration event, and his ruminations on the significance of the Party on Australia's history and culture.

The Seamen’S Union Of Australia, 1872-1972: A History, Rowan Cahill, Brian Fitzpatrick
The Seamen’S Union Of Australia, 1872-1972: A History, Rowan Cahill, Brian Fitzpatrick
Rowan Cahill
The first detailed history of the Seamen's Union of Australia, charting the growth and development of this small but powerful and influential trade union, from its beginnings in 1872, and through its first century of political and industrial life. At the time this book was written and published, Australian historians tended not to give much consideration to the contribution of maritime workers to the development of the nation. In many ways, this study was a pioneering initiative.
The Decline Of History, Rowan Cahill
The Decline Of History, Rowan Cahill
Rowan Cahill
Written at a time when the teaching of 'History' was declining in Australian secondary schools (1970s), this is a view from the classroom by a classroom teacher. The author trenchantly defends the place of 'History' as a subject in Secondary schools, and opposes its teaching by non-history trained teachers, as well as the introduction of 'thematic' approaches. Instead he defends a broad 'History' curriculum, the exploration of cause and effect, and for Senior students, their introduction to the notion of 'historiography'.
The New Left In Australia, Rowan Cahill
The New Left In Australia, Rowan Cahill
Rowan Cahill
Paper presented as part of the Eleventh Annual Conference of the Australasian Political Studies Association (APSA), 28th-30th August, 1969, University of Sydney. It is of historical interest, being an early exploration and evaluation of the Australian New Left by activist/participant/analyst Rowan Cahill (b. 1945- ). It predates more widely cited sources and authorities, and has been a difficult source to locate due to the limited nature of its original distribution.

The Lost Ideal, Rowan Cahill, R Connell, B Freeman, T Irving, B Scribner
The Lost Ideal, Rowan Cahill, R Connell, B Freeman, T Irving, B Scribner
Rowan Cahill
Authored alphabetically by R. Cahill, R. Connell, B. Freeman, T. Irving, and B. Scribner, “The Lost Ideal” was published in the Sydney University student newspaper 'honi soit' on Tuesday, 3 October 1967. It was the foundation manifesto of what was to become known as the Free U, initially operating out of rented premises in Redfern (Sydney) before moving to premises in nearby suburbs. The first Free U courses commenced in December 1967, and early in the new year involved 150 people. At its peak, during the summer of 1968-1969, over 300 people were involved in courses. The Sydney experiment, which …
