Research And Indigenous Participation: Critical Reflexive Methods, Ruth Nicholis
Research And Indigenous Participation: Critical Reflexive Methods, Ruth Nicholis
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
In response to the theories of empowerment and social justice, research involving Indigenous peoples often demands participatory and collaborative methodologies. Consequently, researchers need to engage with reflexive evaluation of collective and negotiated design, data collection and data analysis to consider inter-personal and collective dynamics during the research process. What this means for those attempting counter-colonial research is that we cannot rely on a singular application of reflexivity to situate knowledge. Additional political and relational layers of reflexivity are essential to critically evaluate empowerment and participation by working ‘the spaces between’ through reflection about collaboration. By exploring ‘relationality’ as a methodology, …

The Author As Agent Of Information Policy: The Relationship Between Economic And Moral Rights In Copyright, Margaret Ann Wilkinson, Natasha Gerolami
Law Publications
A historical and theoretical analysis of the copyright environment demonstrates that both the economic rights associated with copyright and the moral rights often associated with copyright perform social functions. The latter have not been as universally embraced or adopted as the former. The lack of enthusiasm for moral rights is argued to be because the social utility of this aspect of the copyright regime has gone largely unrecognised. In fact, moral rights ensure that the information needs of the public are being met because they enhance the ability to assess the authority and reliability of information. While historically this has …

Feminist Debates On Civilian Women And International Humanitarian Law, Valerie Oosterveld
Law Publications
International humanitarian law [IHL] provisions address the situation of civilian women caught in armed conflict today, but is this law enough? Feminist commentators have considered this question and have come to differing conclusions. This article considers the resulting debate as to whether female-specific IHL provisions are adequate but underenforced, or inadequate, outdated and in need of revision. One school of thought argues that the main impediment to the protection of female civilians during hostilities is lack of observance of existing IHL. A second school of thought believes that something more fundamental is needed to meet the goal of protecting civilian …

Using Ethnographic Methods To Articulate Community-Based Conceptions Of Cultural Heritage Management, Julie Hollowell, George Nicholas
Using Ethnographic Methods To Articulate Community-Based Conceptions Of Cultural Heritage Management, Julie Hollowell, George Nicholas
Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi)
How can ethnographic methods help communities articulate and enact their own conceptions of heritage management? This and related questions are being explored through an international research project, ‘Intellectual Property Issues in Cultural Heritage’. The project includes up to twenty community- based initiatives that incorporate community-based participatory research and ethnographic methods to explore emerging intellectual property-related issues in archaeological contexts; the means by which they are being addressed or resolved; and the broader implications of these issues and concerns. We discuss three examples that use ethnography to (a) articulate local or customary laws and principles of archaeological heritage management among a …
