องค์การการค้าโลกกับบทบาทในการคุ้มครองสิ่งแวดล้อม, วิลาสินี วดีศิริศักดิ์, นิศาชล พรหมรินทร์ Jan 2023

องค์การการค้าโลกกับบทบาทในการคุ้มครองสิ่งแวดล้อม, วิลาสินี วดีศิริศักดิ์, นิศาชล พรหมรินทร์

Journal of Social Sciences

การวิจัยนี้เป็นการวิจัยเชิงคุณภาพ มีจุดประสงค์เพื่อศึกษา 1. มาตรการด้านสิ่งแวดล้อมขององค์การการค้าโลกในการพิทักษ์รักษาและอนุรักษ์สิ่งแวดล้อม 2. ผลกระทบของมาตรการด้านสิ่งแวดล้อมขององค์การการค้าโลกต่อการค้าระหว่างประเทศ และ 3. ความสำเร็จของการบูรณาการการค้าระหว่างประเทศและการคุ้มครองสิ่งแวดล้อมขององค์การการค้าโลก  ผลการศึกษาพบว่า 1. มาตรการที่ถูกสร้างขึ้นภายใต้องค์การการค้าโลกเพื่อพิทักษ์รักษาและอนุรักษ์สิ่งแวดล้อมประกอบด้วย กลไกคณะกรรมาธิการด้านการค้าและสิ่งแวดล้อม กลไกองค์กรระงับข้อพิพาท และกลไกข้อตกลงที่เกี่ยวข้องกับเรื่องสิ่งแวดล้อมหลายฉบับ 2. คณะกรรมาธิการด้านการค้าและสิ่งแวดล้อมเป็นเพียงเวทีในการแลกเปลี่ยนความคิดเห็นและประสบการณ์ของประเทศสมาชิกที่มีต่อประเด็นด้านการค้าและสิ่งแวดล้อมเท่านั้น ส่วนแนวทางการตัดสินคดีสิ่งแวดล้อมขององค์กรระงับข้อพิพาททำให้ประเทศสมาชิกโดยเฉพาะกลุ่มประเทศพัฒนาแล้วได้มีการออกมาตรการการค้าเพื่ออนุรักษ์สิ่งแวดล้อมได้อย่างชอบธรรมซึ่งส่งผลกระทบต่อประเทศผู้ส่งออก ในขณะที่ข้อตกลงที่เกี่ยวข้องกับเรื่องสิ่งแวดล้อมต่าง ๆ ส่งผลทำให้ประเทศที่พัฒนาแล้วใช้มาตรการเหล่านี้เป็นเครื่องมือเพื่อกีดกันทางการค้า และ 3. องค์การการค้าโลกยังไม่ประสบความสำเร็จในการบรรลุเป้าหมายตามที่ได้ตั้งเป้าหมายไว้ในธรรมนูญ คือ การบูรณาการการค้าระหว่างประเทศและการคุ้มครองสิ่งแวดล้อมไว้ด้วยกัน แต่ในขณะเดียวกันมิได้ถือว่าล้มเหลว เพราะแม้มาตรการที่เกี่ยวข้องกับสิ่งแวดล้อมเหล่านั้นขององค์การการค้าโลกจะถูกพิจารณาว่าไม่มีประสิทธิภาพ แต่การมีมาตรการและมีการดำเนินงานที่เกี่ยวข้องสะท้อนให้เห็นถึงข้อเท็จจริงว่าองค์การการค้าโลกได้มีการดำเนินการอย่างเป็นรูปธรรมเพื่อที่พยายามที่จะบรรลุวัตถุประสงค์ดังกล่าว

การจัดสรรบริการทางการศึกษาอย่าง (ไม่) เป็นธรรม? การประกอบสร้างภาพลักษณ์ทางสังคมของโรงเรียนมัธยมศึกษาในเอกสารนโยบายการรับนักเรียนเข้าเรียนของสำนักงานคณะกรรมการการศึกษาขั้นพื้นฐาน, วงอร พัวพันสวัสดิ์ Jan 2023

การจัดสรรบริการทางการศึกษาอย่าง (ไม่) เป็นธรรม? การประกอบสร้างภาพลักษณ์ทางสังคมของโรงเรียนมัธยมศึกษาในเอกสารนโยบายการรับนักเรียนเข้าเรียนของสำนักงานคณะกรรมการการศึกษาขั้นพื้นฐาน, วงอร พัวพันสวัสดิ์

Journal of Social Sciences

การรับนักเรียนเข้าเรียนถือเป็นกิจกรรมที่เกี่ยวข้องกับปัญหาความเหลื่อมล้ำทางการศึกษาโดยตรง เพราะความเหลื่อมล้ำทางการศึกษาเป็นผลลัพธ์ของกระบวนการจัดสรรบริการด้านการศึกษาที่ไม่เป็นธรรม งานวิจัยชิ้นนี้ตั้งคำถามต่อนโยบายการจัดสรรที่นั่งเรียนในหน่วยบริการการศึกษาของรัฐไทยในระดับมัธยมศึกษา โดยมุ่งศึกษาว่าตัวแบบนโยบาย (Policy design) ของนโยบายการรับนักเรียนเข้าเรียนในสถานศึกษาสังกัดสำนักงานคณะกรรมการการศึกษาขั้นพื้นฐาน (สพฐ.) มีการประกอบสร้างภาพลักษณ์ของโรงเรียนและนักเรียนไว้อย่างไร? และการประกอบสร้างดังกล่าวมีส่วนช่วยบรรเทาหรือซ้ำเติมความเหลื่อมล้ำด้านการศึกษาอย่างไร? ผู้วิจัยใช้วิธีการวิเคราะห์นโยบายเชิงตีความ (Interpretive Policy Analysis) การวิเคราะห์กรอบการจำแนกแยกแยะ (Category Analysis) และใช้กรอบแนวคิดการประกอบสร้างกลุ่มเป้าหมายของนโยบาย (Social construction of target population) ของ Schneider and Ingram ที่มองว่า “ภาพลักษณ์” ของกลุ่มเป้าหมายของนโยบาย (ในที่นี้คือโรงเรียน) มีอิทธิพลต่อการออกแบบนโยบาย ซึ่งสุดท้ายจะมีผลตอกย้ำความไม่เป็นธรรมที่มีมาแต่เดิมในสังคม งานวิจัยพบว่า เนื้อหาของนโยบายการรับนักเรียนเข้าเรียนของสพฐ. มีการประกอบสร้างภาพลักษณ์ของโรงเรียนบนมโนทัศน์ของหลักกลไกตลาด ที่แยกแยะ “โรงเรียนอัตราแข่งขันสูง” ออกจาก “โรงเรียนทั่วไป” และสร้างแนวปฏิบัติที่เป็นการผลิตซ้ำภาพลักษณ์ทางสังคมที่มีมาก่อนของโรงเรียนทั้งสองประเภท กล่าวคือ ภาพลักษณ์ของโรงเรียนอัตราแข่งขันสูงถูกประกอบสร้างให้เป็นผู้ให้บริการการศึกษาของรัฐคุณภาพสูง ส่วนภาพลักษณ์ของโรงเรียนทั่วไปถูกประกอบสร้างให้เป็นผู้ให้บริการการศึกษาของรัฐคุณภาพต่ำ ในกระบวนการสร้างภาพลักษณ์ดังกล่าว นโยบายมีการจัดสรรภาระให้แก่โรงเรียนประเภททั่วไปที่สูงกว่าโรงเรียนประเภทอัตราแข่งขันสูงอย่างไม่สมเหตุสมผล เช่น โรงเรียนประเภทอัตราแข่งขันสูงมีสิทธิ์ในการคัดกรองผู้เรียนที่มีศักยภาพทางวิชาการ “สูง” ไปก่อนโรงเรียนประเภททั่วไป ในทางกลับกัน โรงเรียนประเภททั่วไปต้องรับภาระการจัดสรรสวัสดิการขั้นพื้นฐานและภาระในการพัฒนาผู้เรียนที่มีศักยภาพแตกต่างหลากหลาย

Misogynistic Extremism: A Scoping Review, Robin O'Hanlon, Frederick L. Altice, Roy Ka-Wei Lee, Jack Laviolette, Gloria Mark, Orestis Papakyriakopoulos, Koustuv Saha, Munmun De Choudhury, Navin Kumar

Publications and Research

In recent years, the concept of “misogynistic extremism” has emerged as a subject of interest among scholars, governments, law enforcement personnel, and the media. Yet a consistent understanding of how misogynistic extremism is defined and conceptualized has not yet emerged. Varying epistemological orientations may contribute to the current conceptual muddle of this topic, reflecting long-standing and on-going challenges with the conceptualization of its individual components. To address the potential impact of misogynistic extremism (i.e., violent attacks), a more precise understanding of what this phenomenon entails is needed. To summarize the existing knowledge base on the nature of misogynistic extremism, this …

Building Strength Versus Getting Lean: An Analysis Of The Gendered Nature Of Fitness In Crossfit, Barre, And Personal Training, Margaret M. Jones Jan 2023

Building Strength Versus Getting Lean: An Analysis Of The Gendered Nature Of Fitness In Crossfit, Barre, And Personal Training, Margaret M. Jones

Master's Theses

Like many industries in contemporary society, the fitness sector is heavily gendered, andthus needs to be examined as a sector that both creates and reinforces gendered bodies. Building on previous single-method studies, I utilized a multi-methods approach of ethnography and interviews to analyze organizational and individual experiences with gender and fitness. Using West and Zimmerman’s concept of “doing gender,” I analyzed fitness organizations as a setting where gender and inequality are actively reproduced. By analyzing three fitness organizations with different gendered audiences (a barre studio, a CrossFit gym, and a personal training facility) I looked at how gender and fitness …

Piney Point Cascading Disaster And Environmental Conflict: An Explanatory Case Study, Ketti Davison Jan 2023

Piney Point Cascading Disaster And Environmental Conflict: An Explanatory Case Study, Ketti Davison

Department of Conflict Resolution Studies Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this explanatory case study is to understand the sense that community members made of how and why environmental conflict manifested in the wake of the Piney Point cascading disaster. It found that intentional avoidance of local news caused community members to be unaware of the risks beforehand, of the responses in the aftermath, and of the threats that remain. The study leverages a unique opportunity to fill a gap in the research by examining a contemporary cascading disaster as it generated environmental conflict. This dissertation centers on the perceptions of directly affected community members in the Tampa …

A Confluence Of Identity, Skepticism, And Acculturation: A Grounded Theory Study On Voter Engagement Among Registered Latin American Immigrant Voters, Oscar De Tuya Jan 2023

A Confluence Of Identity, Skepticism, And Acculturation: A Grounded Theory Study On Voter Engagement Among Registered Latin American Immigrant Voters, Oscar De Tuya

Department of Conflict Resolution Studies Theses and Dissertations

One of the most important characteristics of a democracy is the ability of its citizens to directly elect many of their government representatives. Unfortunately, since only citizens are traditionally eligible to vote in the United States, the group of voters that ultimately influences government is smaller than the overall population. That excludes immigrants from full participation in government and contributes to conflict, which can be analyzed through various theoretical lenses, such as structural violence, basic human needs theory, and social cohesion. These realities underscore the importance of elections and of ensuring that an engaged and informed electorate is active in …

The Challenges And Transformative Experiences Of Promoting Nonkilling With Anti-Nuclear Weapon Activists And Realists, Roland Joseph Jan 2023

The Challenges And Transformative Experiences Of Promoting Nonkilling With Anti-Nuclear Weapon Activists And Realists, Roland Joseph

Department of Conflict Resolution Studies Theses and Dissertations

Decades ago, Glenn D. Paige questioned killing and violence in politics, presenting nonkilling political science as an alternative. Activists and researchers from other disciplines have joined the movement by considering this new paradigm in their disciplines. Since then, some scholars analyzed the experience of activists promoting notions related to nonkilling, including peace and nonviolence. However, no previous research focuses specifically on the experience of scholars promoting nonkilling to anti-nuclear weapon activists and realists. To fill this gap and give voice to nonkilling and nuclear weapon risks, a qualitative phenomenological study using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was conducted to answer the …

The Decline Of Union Membership And The Resulting Conflicts, Cynthia Cushman Jan 2023

The Decline Of Union Membership And The Resulting Conflicts, Cynthia Cushman

Department of Conflict Resolution Studies Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine how private-sector union members and union leaders viewed the changes in organized labor in the United States over the past ten years. This study explored the impact of union membership decline in the United States labor force through the perceptions of union members and union leaders. There were four macro-level factors examined in this study: a move in dominant occupations from manufacturing to service-orientated work; changes in federal and state regulation; the ability, flexibility, and success of union leadership; and the aggressive counter-union moves of business management. This study was constructed …

Cause For Complaint: A Case Study Exploring Office For Civil Rights Complaints And Resolutions Related To Digital Accessibility At Public Colleges And Universities, Helen Gema Muñiz Bermudez Jan 2023

Cause For Complaint: A Case Study Exploring Office For Civil Rights Complaints And Resolutions Related To Digital Accessibility At Public Colleges And Universities, Helen Gema Muñiz Bermudez

Department of Conflict Resolution Studies Theses and Dissertations

As the number of students with disabilities pursuing postsecondary opportunities continues to grow, along with an increase in digital educational content and technology, the issue of digital accessibility becomes increasingly urgent - both as a matter of equity and access for disabled students and as a matter of social and fiscal responsibility for postsecondary institutions. When postsecondary institutions fail to meet the requirements of disability legislation, the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) is the federal entity responsible for enforcement and complaint investigations, handling hundreds of complaints related to digital accessibility at postsecondary institutions since 2013. There …

Strength In Numbers: An Exploratory Case Study On The Impact Of Conflict In Multi-Institutional Higher Education Collaborations, Michele Robyn Dinicola Jan 2023

Strength In Numbers: An Exploratory Case Study On The Impact Of Conflict In Multi-Institutional Higher Education Collaborations, Michele Robyn Dinicola

Department of Conflict Resolution Studies Theses and Dissertations

The higher education landscape is changing. Students seeking access to college are increasinglydiverse, geographically dispersed, socioeconomically challenged, and will require higher education administrators to closely examine their models to ensure they are well-suited to serve the needs of these students. Responding to these shifts will require higher education administrators to shed traditional approaches in favor of innovative, cost-effective, flexible models of education delivery. Many institutions address this challenge through a reliance on higher education consortia and collaborations. In Maryland, one approach to collaboration takes the form of multi-institutional Regional Higher Education Centers (RHEC) like the largest of them, the Universities …

The Digital Footprint Effect: A Grounded Theory On The Influence Of Social Media On Human Resource Managers’ Hiring Decisions, Tanya Pawlowski Jan 2023

The Digital Footprint Effect: A Grounded Theory On The Influence Of Social Media On Human Resource Managers’ Hiring Decisions, Tanya Pawlowski

Department of Conflict Resolution Studies Theses and Dissertations

For over a decade, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) has reported the increasing practice of hiring managers accessing social media profiles to screen job applicants (Bates, 2008). This qualitative research study investigated the role of social media in organizational hiring practices and what factors may influence human resource hiring managers’ decisions. A grounded theory methodology was applied to interview 21 human resource hiring managers with open-ended structured questions. Based on the researcher’s data collection and grounded theory data analysis, the findings showed that social media profiles play a crucial role in organizational hiring decisions when a human resource …

Learning From The Lived Experiences Of African American Senior Executives In Fortune 500 Organizations: A Transcendental Phenomenological Study Of Black Corporate Trailblazers, Otis G. Jarvis Jan 2023

Learning From The Lived Experiences Of African American Senior Executives In Fortune 500 Organizations: A Transcendental Phenomenological Study Of Black Corporate Trailblazers, Otis G. Jarvis

Department of Conflict Resolution Studies Theses and Dissertations

African American Senior Executives (AASE) exist as a group of American citizens who hold senior management roles in Fortune 500 organizations. AASE members are responsible for decision-making in a diverse number of industries but represent a small group of leaders in Fortune 500 organizations. The purpose of this qualitative transcendental phenomenological study was to examine the lived experiences of AASE in a Fortune 500 organization in the United States. The qualitative study examined through semi-structured interviews the experiences of eleven senior executives in Fortune 500 organizations in the United States. This phenomenological study examined how the lived experience of each …

Gen Z And The Flight Shame Movement: Examining The Intersection Of Emotions, Biospheric Values, And Environmental Travel Behaviour In An Eastern Society, Ante Mandić, Sandeep K. Walia, S. Mostafa Rasoolimanesh

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Using the norm activation model (NAM), our research delves into the impact of environmental concerns, and environmental self-assets on environmentally responsible travel behaviour (ENVRB), and the role of affective constructs (love for nature [LNA], respect for nature and flight shame) on travelling behaviour among Generation Z in India. Through a prediction-oriented and exploratory approach using partial least squares–structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), our study reveals strong effects of environmental concerns and self-assets on responsible travel behaviour, and the mediating role of LNA in these relationships; the mediating role of respect for nature was insignificant. Furthermore, flight shame emerges as a strong …

Beyond Inclusion: Developing Guidelines To Support Trans, Gender Diverse And Non-Binary Communities, Stevie Lane, Casey Thomas Jan 2023

Beyond Inclusion: Developing Guidelines To Support Trans, Gender Diverse And Non-Binary Communities, Stevie Lane, Casey Thomas

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

In early 2020, Edith Cowan University (ECU) identified the need for a proactive approach to supporting and affirming trans, gender diverse, and non-binary (TGDNB) students, staff, alumni, and the wider community. While there was general support and focus on LGBTIQA+ initiatives broadly at ECU, there were no existing supports to address the unique needs and raise awareness of the experiences of TGDNB people. This paper outlines ECU’s process to develop TGDNB Support Guidelines, including research, forming a working group to drive resource development, consultation from different areas within the university, a launch event, training, and ensuring the document was widely …

Reading Group As Method For Feminist Environmental Humanities, James Gardiner, Hayley Singer, Jennifer Hamilton, Astrida Neimanis, Mindy Blaise Jan 2023

Reading Group As Method For Feminist Environmental Humanities, James Gardiner, Hayley Singer, Jennifer Hamilton, Astrida Neimanis, Mindy Blaise

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

This article argues that reading groups are a collective field building and research method in Feminist Environmental Humanities, an interdisciplinary scholarly area at the intersections of feminist social justice and environmental concerns. We begin by historicising three Australian Feminist Environmental reading groups (COMPOSTING Feminisms, Eco Feminist Fridays, The Ediths) within a longer feminist tradition, then demonstrate how they respond to declining research funding in the neoliberal university and accelerating ecological crisis. Drawing on survey data, we first thematically code and analyse the results to categorise the groups’ functions and impacts. Departing from more traditional data analysis, we then develop a …

Lesbian, Anorexic, Disabled, And Big: Other Ways Of Being A Female Physical Education Teacher, Gustavo González-Calvo, Valeria Varea Jan 2023

Lesbian, Anorexic, Disabled, And Big: Other Ways Of Being A Female Physical Education Teacher, Gustavo González-Calvo, Valeria Varea

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Research has shown that Physical Education (PE) is a white, male, and able body-dominated profession, particularly in Spain. When some female pre-service PE teachers, who had a difficult relationship with their bodies and sports abilities, enrol in such a degree, some of these problematic relations come to light. Participants for this study were four female pre-service teachers who self-identified as lesbian, anorexic, visually impaired, and big respectively. Data were collected through participant-produced texts, graphical representations, and interviews. The authors then reconstructed the participants’ stories which are presented in the form of narratives. The conceptual tool of embodying norm-criticality helped us …

Informal Sport And (Non)Belonging Among Hazara Migrants In Australia, Ramón Spaaij, Jonathan Magee, Ruth Jeanes, Dawn Penney, Justen O’Connor Jan 2023

Informal Sport And (Non)Belonging Among Hazara Migrants In Australia, Ramón Spaaij, Jonathan Magee, Ruth Jeanes, Dawn Penney, Justen O’Connor

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Sport participation can offer migrants a modality to connect with dominant cultural norms and potentially foster interculturalism, yet it is often fraught with exclusion. Little is known about how informal sports that migrants have introduced into countries of resettlement affect their (non)belonging. Drawing on qualitative fieldwork over a 14-month period, this article examines how Hazara men’s involvement in the ethno-specific informal sport of sangarag influences their post-migration experiences of (non)belonging in Australia. The findings indicate that Hazara men’s construction of sangarag as a space and resource for belonging needs to be understood as a response to the challenging circumstances they …

Protective Indigenous Collective Value Of Ubuntu And Child Neglect: Implications For Rural Child Protection Practice, Alhassan Abdullah, Hajara Bentum, Margarita Frederico, Felix Mensah, Lucy P. Jordan, Clifton R. Emery Jan 2023

Protective Indigenous Collective Value Of Ubuntu And Child Neglect: Implications For Rural Child Protection Practice, Alhassan Abdullah, Hajara Bentum, Margarita Frederico, Felix Mensah, Lucy P. Jordan, Clifton R. Emery

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Theories on collective efficacy and social support suggest that indigenous values that support collective practices and sanction community obligations to childcare would be protective against child neglect. Likewise, new qualitative findings show that collective values are stronger in rural areas than in urban. This study tested the claims that the value of Ubuntu, which is a symbolic cultural value of ‘being for others’, will be protective against the likelihood of neglect; this relationship will be stronger in rural compared with urban communities in Ghana. Using data obtained from a nationally representative sample of 1100 mothers (from 22 communities) in Ghana, …

Why Do Employees Respond Differently To Corporate Social Responsibility? A Study Of Substantive And Symbolic Corporate Social Responsibility, Mehran Nejati, Azadeh Shafaei Darastani Jan 2023

Why Do Employees Respond Differently To Corporate Social Responsibility? A Study Of Substantive And Symbolic Corporate Social Responsibility, Mehran Nejati, Azadeh Shafaei Darastani

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) plays an increasingly significant role in business and can impact organizational performance and sustainability. However, the degree to which stakeholders see the organization as legitimate may depend on the perceived authenticity of CSR processes and practices. As internal stakeholders, employees have a strong influence on organizational outcomes. CSR, in turn, has been found to positively influence several employee outcomes. To examine the mechanisms of this relationship, this study questioned when and how CSR enhances employees' perceptions and results in affective commitment. Drawing on a time-lagged sample of 317 full-time employees in Australia, we found that substantive …

Walking Journeys Into Everyday Climatic-Affective Atmospheres: The Emotional Labour Of Balancing Grief And Hope, Petra Tschakert, Chantal B. Du Coudray, Pierre Horwitz Jan 2023

Walking Journeys Into Everyday Climatic-Affective Atmospheres: The Emotional Labour Of Balancing Grief And Hope, Petra Tschakert, Chantal B. Du Coudray, Pierre Horwitz

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

The postapocalypse as a mobilising discourse for climate action operates largely out of anger over experienced and anticipated injustices as well as paradoxical hope that fuses loss and grief with freed-up solidarities in support of liveable futures. However, negotiating this emotional tension can be both draining and isolating. Here, we examine how white settler populations in Western Australia balance grief and hope in places they hold dear and the role emotions such as sadness, worry, disappointment, joy, and pride play in relational place making. Through an innovative in situ and mobile methodology we call Walking Journeys, we trace how participants …

Invisible Women: Gender Representation In High School Science Courses Across Australia, Kathryn Ross, Shanika Galaudage, Tegan Clark, Nataliea Lowson, Andrew Battisti, Helen Adam, Alexandra K. Ross, Nici Sweaney

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

The visibility of female role models in science is vital for engaging and retaining women in scientific fields. In this study, we analyse four senior secondary science courses delivered across the states and territories in Australia: Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, and Physics. We compared male and female representation within the science courses by examining the mentions of male and female scientists along with the context of their inclusions in the syllabuses. We find a clear gender bias with only one unique mention of a female scientist. We also find a clear Eurocentric focus and narrow representation of scientists. This bias …

“I Tell My Brothers That It Can Be Done”: Indigenous Males Navigating Elite Australian Higher Education, Garth Stahl, James A. Smith, Andrew Harvey, Braden Hill, Himanshu Gupta, Sam Moore, Jianing Wang

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

As Australian higher education grapples with its colonial history, there has been significant attention to recruiting Indigenous students. However, while we have seen increases in Indigenous participation, males lag significantly behind. Very few Indigenous males enter university and even fewer enter the upper echelons of the stratified higher education sector. In this paper, we investigate the experiences of four Indigenous young men who attended an elite Australian higher education institution. Central to our analysis is how their identities are realised in relation to their sense of Indigeneity and Western ways of knowing, being and doing. In capturing the complex identity …

Collaborative Inquiry With Men Who Use Intimate Partner Violence: Service User Perspectives On Expertise In Domestic Violence Services For Men, Rebecca Jury

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Concerns have been expressed regarding the efficacy of services for heterosexual men who use intimate partner violence. In addition, there has been limited research into the perspectives of these men regarding their use of services. The Australian study outlined in this article sought to examine the experiences of heterosexual men who use intimate partner violence (IPV) when they access domestic violence services. Collaborative inquiry was undertaken with men who were attending a residential domestic violence service to explore the research question; What does expertise look like in domestic violence services for men? When discussing expertise, twenty men identified four themes: …

Gendered Perceptions Of Climate Change And Agricultural Adaptation Practices: A Systematic Review, A. T. M. Sanaul Haque, Lalit Kumar, Navjot Bhullar Jan 2023

Gendered Perceptions Of Climate Change And Agricultural Adaptation Practices: A Systematic Review, A. T. M. Sanaul Haque, Lalit Kumar, Navjot Bhullar

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

The present systematic review was undertaken to obtain a detailed understanding of how climate change perceptions and adaptation differ globally by gender and different intersections among the farmers. Findings from 41 studies selected following Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) protocol, mostly from Africa and Asia, suggest that climate change perceptions and adaptation are highly contextual and considerably varied by gender and different intersections. Existing gender role, farmers’ age, education, knowledge, marital status, intra-household power structure, religion, social status and ethnicity were intersecting with gender and climate change perception and adaptation. Apart from gender and intersectionality, access …

Transition Of Transnational Social Workers: A Critical Realist Perspective On The Need For A Response From The Profession, Shajimon Peter, Allen Bartley, Liz Beddoe, Lynne Soon-Chean Park, Liyun Wendy Choo Jan 2023

Transition Of Transnational Social Workers: A Critical Realist Perspective On The Need For A Response From The Profession, Shajimon Peter, Allen Bartley, Liz Beddoe, Lynne Soon-Chean Park, Liyun Wendy Choo

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

This article examines the absence of a profession-wide response for facilitating the transition of transnational social workers (TSWs) into the host country. TSWs work with various racial, ethnic, and cultural groups and often in unfamiliar socio-political, policy and practice contexts. A qualitative study was undertaken in New Zealand, which involved six focus groups, three with managers of TSWs and three with TSWs themselves and a face-to-face semi-structured interview with a manager who was also a TSW. Coding and analysis of data were informed by critical realism (CR). We found that TSWs’ transitions are framed within an employer-employee relationship in the …

Is Conservative Opposition To Climate Change Threat-Based? Articulating An Integrated Threat Model Of Climate Change Attitudes, Samantha K. Stanley, Kirsti M. Jylhä, Zoe Leviston, Iain Walker Jan 2023

Is Conservative Opposition To Climate Change Threat-Based? Articulating An Integrated Threat Model Of Climate Change Attitudes, Samantha K. Stanley, Kirsti M. Jylhä, Zoe Leviston, Iain Walker

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Throughout the literature, there are assertions that those endorsing conservative ideologies reject the science and solutions of climate change due to perceived threat. That is, they fear that accepting climate change means accepting problems with a favoured socioeconomic system and supporting action on climate change threatens to disrupt these systems. We draw together lines of research and reasoning on this topic to outline three key predictions this perspective makes about the drivers of conservative denial of climate change and opposition to climate policy. The first is that an asymmetry exists in climate-related threat perceptions, whereby greater endorsement of conservative ideology …

Managing The Permanent Temporariness Of Prolonged Migration: The Role Of Local And Transnational Care Circulation Among Argentine Temporary Migrants In Australia, Bernardo Dewey, Loretta Baldassar, Farida Fozdar Jan 2023

Managing The Permanent Temporariness Of Prolonged Migration: The Role Of Local And Transnational Care Circulation Among Argentine Temporary Migrants In Australia, Bernardo Dewey, Loretta Baldassar, Farida Fozdar

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

In the past two decades, Australia has shifted from being a settler nation that promoted state-supported permanent migration to one where the scale and relative importance of temporary migration schemes have grown significantly. In 2017, Australia was the second largest issuing country of temporary visa permits after the United States, with temporary migrants applying, on average, for 3.3 temporary visas and spending 6.4 years in this multi-step visa journey to achieve permanent residency. As part of a broader research project on the social implications of temporary migration programs, we examine how Argentine temporary migrants exchange care to navigate temporary visa …

Surviving Child Sexual Abuse In Women's Artistic Gymnastics: ‘It's Beautiful, Because Had I Stayed In The Past, I Wouldn’T Have Evolved As A Person’, Natalie Barker-Ruchti, Valeria Varea Jan 2023

Surviving Child Sexual Abuse In Women's Artistic Gymnastics: ‘It's Beautiful, Because Had I Stayed In The Past, I Wouldn’T Have Evolved As A Person’, Natalie Barker-Ruchti, Valeria Varea

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

The USA Gymnastics sex abuse scandal raised global awareness about child sexual abuse (CSA) in women's artistic gymnastics. The ensuing media coverage also centre-staged victims’ survivorship stories, a process that for many moved from dissociating, recognising and disclosing CSA to feeling comfort when connecting with survivors and accepting CSA as part of their life history. However, scholarship on what survivorship from CSA in sport entails, and importantly, what it means to athletes, is limited. In this article, we frame the survival of CSA using Arthur Frank’s socio-narratological conceptualisation of people being able to process the devastating consequences of a life-threatening …
