Carnatic Entanglements: Influences Of South Indian Classical Music In Songs For Dead Sailors, Toby Wren

Staff Scholarship - Australia & Dubai

Jazz and Carnatic music have constituted one of the more surprising entanglements in global improvisatory practice. While these two traditions have fundamentally different theoretical and aesthetic bases, they are perhaps uniquely situated for intercultural dialogue, both relying at higher levels of performance on intensely focused interactions and reactions. For the last twenty years, I have been attracted by the similarities and the differences, and the implications of creating music in the border zone.

This paper examines intercultural music-making through an analysis of Songs for Dead Sailors (2025), a song cycle that functions as a site of my sustained entanglement with …

Communication, Identity, And Resilience Among Fisherwomen Of Padang City: A Phenomenological Study, Elva Ronaning Roem, Winda Vanisya, S. Bekti Istiyanto, Sarmiati Sarmiati, Vitania Yulia, Revi Marta, Nadra Ideyani Vita

JURNAL KOMUNIKASI INDONESIA

Fisherwomen constitute an essential yet frequently overlooked workforce in small-scale fisheries, particularly in coastal communities where intercultural dynamics shape everyday working relationships among fisherwomen, fishermen, traders, and buyers. Along the coast of Padang City, these interactions take place within the distinctive socio-cultural context of Minangkabau society, where communication involves ongoing negotiations of meaning across differing cultural expectations, kinship values, and gender roles embedded in the coastal work environment. Although previous studies have examined fisherwomen’s economic participation and gender inequality, limited attention has been paid to communication as an intercultural and lived process through which fisherwomen construct identity, solidarity, and resilience …

JURNAL KOMUNIKASI INDONESIA

This study examines how Zohran Mamdani’s Instagram account, @zohrankmamdani, communicates his Muslim minority identity and constructs his mediated political representation through political human branding.

Youth, Faith, And Identity Politics: A Cultural Communication Perspective On Religious Extremism And Tolerance Among University Students In Yogyakarta, Astri Wulandari, Catur Nugroho, Chandra Satya Bintara

JURNAL KOMUNIKASI INDONESIA

This study examines how university students in Yogyakarta negotiate religious identity, extremism, and tolerance through cultural communication. Using a qualitative case study, data were collected from 21 students through direct observation, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. Cultural communication served as the overarching analytical perspective, while Communication Theory of Identity (CTI) informed the interpretation of religious identity across its personal, enacted, relational, and communal frames. The findings show that students understand extremism and tolerance not merely in terms of ideological or theological positions but also through communicative practices. Extremism is associated with rigid, coercive, and exclusionary communication, whereas tolerance is …

Social Work Licensure With A Criminal Record: A Legal Mapping Project Of 56 U.S. States And Territories, Brianna Suslovic, Adrian Aira, Antara Anand, Halla Anderson, Jessica Brandon, Natalie Casal Alcaino, Nino Claveria, Nyla Conaway, Matthew W. Epperson, Louis Levy, Teya Lovell, Cea Murtha-Paradis, Zoë Phillips, Tanishq Rajan, Hannon Welch, Abbey Whigham

School for Social Work: Faculty Publications

This legal mapping paper aims to aggregate state-specific policies on the impact of criminal legal system contact—more specifically, the impact of criminal convictions—on social work licensure. Situating these policies within an abolitionist analysis and the larger history of social work in the United States, the paper attempts to expose the contradictions alive within the profession’s discourse. Social work discourses claim to value lived experience, yet social work licensure policies and practices often exclude the people and communities who, by lived experience, are uniquely qualified to do this work. Examining the language of these policies, this study poses questions concerning the …

Disrupting Higher Education: Assessing The Impact Of Covid-19 On Higher Education Institutions In Indonesia And The United States, Tristan Prodjomaroeto, Ali Muhyidin

Jurnal Pendidikan dan Pembelajaran

This paper examines the impact of COVID-19 on higher education institutions in Indonesia and the United States using qualitative document analysis dedicated to higher education institutions. The findings suggest that the perplexing problems found in higher education institutions have downcutting the ability to achieve equal distribution of quality education, and the crisis caused by COVID-19 has made higher education less accessible specifically towards under-privilege students. Hence, the utilization of EdTech is pivotal in creating equal access and distribution in higher education. It is expected that the prevalent use of such technology is expected to stick in the long run

Primitive Accumulation In The Late Twentieth Century: Mexico, The United States, And Nafta, Mark Huffman

Scholars Week

Between 1971 and 1994, American capital succeeded in redirecting state action toward the interests of the largest transnational firms, facilitating extreme concentrations of wealth and capital alongside a profound defeat of organized labor and the dismantling of social programs. The post-Keynesian political economy produced the North American Free Trade Agreement, an event which demonstrated both the ideological capture of the American state by neoliberalism and the purpose of the ideology as a social force (as opposed to a strictly economic one). This article investigates the neoliberal turn generally and NAFTA specifically as engines of social dislocation in North America and …

Safer Together: One Purpose, One Future, Tara Haines

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

This art quilt is based on the theme that working together creates a safer future for our patients. The patient is at the center and is surrounded by the care team to help them navigate towards health and better outcomes. Our student nurse is on the left with angel wings, supported by their professor, the patient, the care team, and their nurse, all guided by Florence Nightingale's lamp over the often uneven path towards a safer future

Nurses' Week, Sekia Lor

I am an academic advisor for nursing students who also happens to be a balloon artist. I created all of these nurse balloon animals during Nurses' Week to represent “better together.” These balloons were then given to staff members on campus to celebrate Nurse’s Week!

Family Tree, Margaret J. Demars

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

I currently work as an intensive care unit nurse and was asked to paint a mural in our break room. I decided to paint a “family tree” symbolizing unity among the departments. I wanted to create something that promoted peace and serenity. Once the tree was completed, the employees were encouraged to print photos of themselves, their pets, or their families to pin to the tree. This project brought everyone together and was a really fun and engaging activity among the nurses and staff. Now, we can take our breaks and admire something other than the same white walls we …

Wave Of Healing, Annemarie Dittmar

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

There is so much hope and healing in nursing. As nurses, we are meant to bring hope and healing to others. To me, the sunrise is symbolic of hope, hope that healing will happen and that there are always things to hope for. The wave of water is symbolic of healing; it is a blue green wave of healing that washes over and provides calming energy and mental clarity. Sunlight and ocean waves bring hope and healing to my own soul. I used a Japanese art form called Kinusaiga, which is a type of painting with fabric. I used …

Trust As Public Health Infrastructure: Advancing Health Care Safety Through Risk Communication And Community Engagement, Karanvir Bhinder, Sahibpreet Bhinder

HCA Healthcare Journal of Medicine

Background

Preparedness frameworks traditionally emphasize surveillance, laboratory capacity, clinical care and logistics. However, recent public health emergencies have demonstrated that even technically sound interventions may fail when trust is weak, communication is fragmented or misinformation undermines public confidence. Risk communication and community engagement (RCCE) is therefore increasingly recognized as an important component of effective outbreak response.

Perspective

Evidence from COVID-19, Ebola and other public health emergencies demonstrates that trust, communication and community engagement influence adherence to public health guidance, vaccine acceptance, healthcare utilization and the implementation of evidence-based interventions. Despite this, RCCE is frequently operationalized as a support function rather …
