Addressing uncomfortable issues: the role of White health professionals in Aboriginal health
No full textThis research investigated the role of White health professionals in addressing Aboriginal health in South Australia. Set within the discipline of nutrition and dietetics and the area of obesity prevention, it explored the practice of White health professionals from the point of view of Aboriginal and White workers.
This research, currently in the form of an unpublished Doctor of Philosophy thesis, arose from practice dilemmas the author experienced as a dietitian working in rural and remote South Australia.
The setting for this research was the eat well be active Community Programs, a community-based, childhood obesity prevention program in South Australia. In order to conduct ethical research, the author worked closely with Aboriginal community members and workers, through building and maintaining relationships and activities of reciprocity.
This research is positioned in a social constructionist epistemology and uses a critical theoretical approach. Critical social research and reflexivity are the methodological approaches. The kept a reflexive journal and conducted 41 semi-structured interviews with White health professionals and Aboriginal health workers and one focus group with White health professionals; all of which formed the data for this research.
This research identified that there are a number of elements to the practice of White health professionals that make it ideal when they are working with Aboriginal communities. However, such ideal practice does not always occur and this research sought to identify why. The organisation, profession and individual were identified as systems within the wider system of Aboriginal health.
Within these systems, the author identified structures (rules and resources) that either constrain or enable the practice of White health professionals with Aboriginal people. While many White health professionals focussed on external factors that constrained their practice, this thesis identifies the role of individuals in creating and maintaining barriers and enablers, thus highlighting their agency. It was also identified that White health professionals progress through a number of stages in their work in Aboriginal health, from not knowing how, to being scared, to finding it too hard and ultimately being able to practice regardless of barriers.
In summary, this research identified that moving forward in Aboriginal health requires White health professionals to look at themselves, which generally requires them to address uncomfortable issues

The G20
No full textFormed in 1999 after the Asian Financial Crisis, the G20 claims to be the world’s pre-eminent steering committee on global finance. While it’s true that the G20 represents many of the world\u27s major economies, it also excludes 174 nations – so can it justifiably argue that it represent global interests?

Bird & Squirrel On The Run! by J. Burks
No full textBurks, James. Bird & Squirrel On The Run! New York: Scholastic Graphix, 2012. Print. After years as an artist in the hallways of the animation industry, author/illustrator James Burks takes an unlikely duo on an adventure of discovered friendship. Timid Squirrel, complete with winter food preparations and a fear of almost everything (“Don’t you know that cats are responsible for 47 percent of all squirrel deaths each year?”), suddenly loses his winter safety net in dramatic fashion, catching the hungry eye of a determined and ferocious cat. Squirrel has no choice but to grudgingly pair himself with the animal responsible for his loss, an adventurous Bird who brazenly lives in the moment (“The world is our oyster!”) but who attracts trouble with every swoop of his wing. Together they venture south to find warmth and food, dodging their persistently predatory cat and other natural hazards but find help along the way from a kind family of moles. A few shared life and death adventures later, Bird and Squirrel begin to appreciate and learn from each other’s ways, discovering new aspects of their own personalities while becoming true friends in the process. Burks uses clean lines and brightly coloured characters against more neutral backgrounds to frame clear and simple facial expressions that will appeal to younger readers. The fast paced story is presented with minimal change in perspective and timeline which makes this an ideal introduction to graphic novels for younger readers.

Annabelle
No full textThese collected poems from writers across the globe declare one common theme: resistance. By exploring sexual assault and violence in their work, each writer resists the patriarchal systems of power that continue to support a misogynist justice system that supports abusers. In doing so, they reclaim their power and their voice.
Created as a response to the Jian Ghomeshi case, writers including Joan Crate, Ashley-Elizabeth Best, and Beth Goobie are, as editor Sue Goyette explains, a “multitude, resisting.” The collection could not be more timely. The work adds a new layer to the ever-growing #MeToo movement.
Resistance underscores the validity of all women’s experiences, and the importance of dignifying such experiences in voice, however that may sound. Because once survivors speak out and disrupt their pain, there is no telling what else they can do
De l’art moderne à l’art contemporain. Un transfert de monopole dans le monde de l’art thaïlandais
No full textHistorical studies of modern and contemporary non-occidental art all contain accounts of sudden breaks in the continuity of its evolution. However, even if the members of the artistic community concerned do themselves acknowledge such breaks, no one has ever attempted to propose an explanation. This paper focuses on one such break in the history of Thai art. Through a comparative analysis of the curriculum vitae of various twentieth-century Thai artists and of the evolution of their careers, the author will show that the 1980s constitute a pivotal period for Thai art : that decade saw the decline of the then prevalent modern-art academic model and the emergence of the conditions required for the development of atypical artistic networks that gave birth to the new recognition system of contemporary art.Les études historiques relatives aux arts modernes et contemporains en dehors de l’Europe occidentale rendent régulièrement compte de moments de rupture. Toutefois, s’il arrive aux acteurs du monde artistique concernés d’évoquer de telles ruptures, ils le font sans jamais avancer d’explication. Le présent article se propose d’étudier un tel moment. À travers l’analyse d’une série de curriculum vitae d’artistes et de l’évolution de leur carrière, nous tenterons de montrer en quoi les années 1980 ont constitué une période charnière pour le monde de l’art thaïlandais qui a vu le déclin d’un système artistique moderne de type académique et la mise en place des conditions nécessaires à l’apparition d’un nouveau réseau de reconnaissance : celui de l’art contemporain.Boissier Annabelle.
