Ensuring effective and transformative policy reform: lessons from rezoning Australia's Great Barrier Reef, 1999-2004
No full textJon Day studied the process to develop Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Zoning Plan as an example of transformative environmental policy reform at an ecosystem-wide scale. This was a comprehensive assessment of policy reform, investigating the key factors that influenced the successful policy outcome. Many lessons will help develop environmental policies elsewhere
Maxwell Frank Cooper Day 1915-2017
No full textMax Day (1915-2017) entomologist, scientific diplomat and conservationist, was a national scientific leader across the twentieth century, a time that spanned the rise of the idea of the environment and of concern about ecological limits. He was a pioneer in Australia of integrated, cross-disciplinary science and an important advocate of evidence-based policy-making. His fundamental disciplinary work in entomology, virology, ecology and forestry focused on nationally significant problems and their international context

Day centres for homeless people: spaces of care or fear?
No full textIt is now widely argued that the contemporary city is becoming an increasingly hostile environment for homeless people. As basic street survival strategies are criminalized and public space 'purified' of those whose 'spoiled' identities threaten to 'taint' fellow members of the public, city authorities seem to have turned from a position of 'malign neglect' to more obviously punitive measures designed to contain and control homeless people. Less widely acknowledged but equally prevalent, however, is a parallel rise in the 'urge to care'; evident in the growing number of night shelters, hostels and day centres emerging in recent years to provide shelter and sustenance to homeless people. This paper contributes to a small but growing body of work examining the development of the 'spaces of care' springing up in the interstices of a 'revanchist' city, by examining the development and internal dynamics of day centres for homeless people in the UK. Drawing upon a national survey of service providers, and a series of interviews and participant observations with day centre staff and users, the paper argues that day centres act as important sources of material resource and refuge for a highly stigmatized group. However, it warns against the romantic tendencies implicit in the notion of 'spaces of care', emphasizing that what for one person may operate as a 'space of care' might, for another, be experienced as a space of fear. The paper concludes by noting the ambiguity and fragility of such spaces within the wider 'revanchist' city

Social music is jazz evolved and re-discovered: an introspective analysis of Jon Batiste & Stay Human
No full textBeing twofold, the purpose of this thesis is (1) to determine if and how Social Music may be an evolution of jazz music, while simultaneously being a re-discovery of jazz as it was initially intended to be, especially from a social perspective, and (2) to divulge how Jon Batiste and Stay Human expressively use Social Music to deliver concepts of love, believe, hope, determination, encouragement, and joy to a world that synchronously experiences devastation, tumult, beauty, and promise. An introspective analysis of Jon Batiste and Stay Human will serve as the explanatory vehicle to ascertain the aforementioned. Additional introspective analyses of Jon Batiste and Stay Human are included and strongly considered. As jazz is known as being birthed in New Orleans, Louisiana, and Jonathan Batiste was reared in Kenner, Louisiana – a suburb outside of New Orleans, there is a discussion of Batiste’s thoughts of Congo Square and early jazz in New Orleans, thereby yielding further clarification of my inquiry as to how Social Music may be a re-discovery of jazz as it was initially intended to be. The introspective analysis includes a brief musical biographical sketch of (a) Jonathan Batiste in New Orleans, Louisiana, (b) Jonathan Batiste and his Trio in New York, (c) Jon Batiste and Stay Human in New York alongside national and global tours, and (d) Jon Batiste and Stay Human as the Bandleader and House Band of CBS’s syndicated The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. This introspective analysis entails a discussion of my documentation of diverse musical experiences with Jon Batiste and Stay Human. To capture the inclusiveness of community, there are additional introspective analyses of musical experiences with Jon Batiste and Stay Human, including members from the Stay Human band as well as members from the audience. There is a discussion of how Jon Batiste and Stay Human have revolutionized the music and social climate of jazz. As Jon Batiste ultimately seeks to bring people together, there is a discussion of how social music (a) brings people of diverse demographic and socio-economic class together and (b) makes jazz more accessible to the masses, ultimately linking the common thread of humanity.

Stakeholder perceptions of older adult mental health day services in Huddersfield
No full textThis report presents the findings of a qualitative inquiry into the purposes, processes and outcomes of NHS day services for older adults with mental health problems in Huddersfield. The study canvassed a variety of viewpoints amongst patients, carers and staff as a first step to developing further research into NHS and social day services for this patient group. All interviewees perceived help with mental health problems as the main purposes of attendance. Other views diverged: patients and carers stressed help with physical health problems and other practical assistance whilst staff chose process-related variables such as assessment and monitoring. The divergence between patients, carers and staff was even stronger when we asked about the processes and the perceived outcomes of these facilities. These different views of purposes, processes and outcomes provide a starting point for developing further exploratory and evaluative research of different NHS day services for this patient group. This may also be useful in future comparisons between NHS and social services day provision
