Resource conflict is a common feature of coastal management. This conflict is often managed by using spatial planning tools to segregate uses, with access decisions made through a comparison of the economic costs and benefits of the competing sectors. These comparisons rarely include an in-depth analysis of the extent or nature of the conflict. One commonly experienced form of resource conflict in coastal communities involves professional fishing, recreational fishing and broader coastal tourism. In New South Wales, Australia the professional fishing industry is often seen as being in conflict with recreational fishing and tourism, and there are frequent calls to …

When Yarn Spinners was initially published in 2001 by University of Queensland Press, it was lengthily titled Yarn Spinners. A Story in Letters: Dymphna Cusack, Florence James, Miles Franklin. Marilla North was credited as 'Editor'. The title partially explained the contents of the book, but did not do justice to the nature of the book. Nor did the status 'editor' do justice to North's achievement in creating the book. More than an edited collection of letters, it was a biographical study, via letters, of the personal, emotional, intellectual, and political relationships between three Australian women writers during the twentieth century. …

Model United Nations And Deep Learning: Theoretical And Professional Learning, Susan Engel, Josh Pallas, Sarah Lambert

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

This article demonstrates that the purposeful subject design, incorporating a Model United Nations (MUN), facilitated deep learning and professional skills attainment in the field of International Relations. Deep learning was promoted in subject design by linking learning objectives to Anderson and Krathwohl's (2001) four levels of knowledge or cognition: factual, conceptual, procedural, and metacognitive. Students demonstrated improvement in all four areas; however, this article focuses on outcomes in the conceptual and metacognitive realms as these were where students showed the most growth. In the conceptual realm, the subject aimed to increase students' capacity to apply international relations theories. Students tended …

Circumstantiation: Taking A Broader Look At Circumstantial Meanings, Shoshana J. Dreyfus, Isabelle Bennett

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

This paper argues for a view of circumstantial meaning as a region of ideational meaning that is instantiated across a range of lexicogrammatical structures: from the rank of the clausal constituent of circumstance in both directions: up to clause rank and down to below or within constituent rank (eg as Qualifier). This paper brings together and extends the work of Halliday & Matthiessen (An Introduction to Functional Grammar, 2004) on expansion and circumstantiation, and the work of Martin (English Text: System and Structure, 1992) within the discourse semantic system of ideation. Each type of circumstantial meaning is defined structurally, that …

Narrative Practices In Medicine And Therapy: Philosophical Reflections, Daniel D. Hutto, Nick Brancazio, Jarrah Aubourg Jan 2017

Narrative Practices In Medicine And Therapy: Philosophical Reflections, Daniel D. Hutto, Nick Brancazio, Jarrah Aubourg

Faculty of Law, Humanities and the Arts - Papers (Archive)

This article examines two important movements-narrative medicine and narrative therapy-that aim to put narrative practices at the heart of medicine and therapeutic practices. It exposes the core assumptions of these movements and identifies ways in which attention to those assumptions can benefit from philosophical clarification and further investigation. Overall, our analysis defends the view that being a competent narrator matters for understanding and building trust with others, and that it also matters for shaping ourselves because the narratives we weave can help us to see "live options" and improve our chances of flourishing and living well.
