Heather Dodd
No full textMargaret (Heather) married James (Jim) Jenkins Dodd on 13 October 1928; he was a ceramics engineer in Sydney. They moved to Queensland in 1941 and a daughter was born. In 1949, they accompanied Margaret's mother to Mainoru Station in the Northern Territory to visit family, it was only going to be a short visit, but they stayed. In 1957, Margaret was approached by the Department of Education in the Territory to start a school for all the children on the station. This school was amongst the first of its kind on a Territory cattle property. In 1958 a departmental inspection report commented that the school was well equipped and Heather's enthusiasm and energy had produced a ?very impressive school.' The students she taught were known for their good command of English and excellent handwriting and several of the Aboriginal children at the remote Mainoru School became teachers. In the 1960s, there were 53 children which was a remarkable achievement for one teacher.
Her husband dealt with the medical work he died in 1961, Heather continued his work as a nursing sister as well as operating and teaching at school each day in addition to the usual household routine which included the monitoring of the radio schedule which began at five each morning. When she became ill her brother Sandy kept the school going, unfortunately her other brother Jack died in 1966 leaving the property to Margaret's daughter Heather. By 1968 ?death and taxes' had destroyed any possibility that it could be kept as a going concern it was sold. Margaret moved to Darwin taught at a training school for paramedical workers in Aboriginal communities which were then base at the East Arm Leprosarium as well at the Rapid Creek School. Her help was frequently sought formally and informally, though she never received any official recognition.EducatorMulticultural Service
Sonatina For Flute and Piano
No full textDescription:
Virginia Taylor and Daniel de Borah - a new work and recording of Sonatina for Flute and Piano by composer Heather Percy. Recorded in Brisbane at Queensland Conservatorium, Griffith University.
Research Background:
The collaboration of Virginia Taylor (flute), Daniel de Borah (piano) and Australian composer Heather Percy realised a new work for flute and piano in the form of a “Sonatina for Flute and Piano” The linked movements combine to form a work of over 8 minutes in length. The new work has since been aired nationally on ABC Classic radio. The funding was provided by Taylor and de Borah. Score and parts are available through https://www.heatherpercymusic.com
Research Contribution:
A new and substantial work for flute and piano by an Australian female composer is significant. This research is part of an ongoing project to commission Australian female composers. The new work increases the limited Australian repertoire for flute and piano and reflects a collaboration with a leading female Australian composer. Challenges, due to distances and working with the composer from across different cities were varied. The aim was to achieve a work which would expand, challenge and complement both instruments. Prior to recording, skype, pdf drafts and recordings were shared. The work was workshopped and developed at QCGU in the final days before recording.
Research Significance:
The newly published work received its world premiere recording in December 2019. The work has since received several live performances in Australia. ABC Classic was very keen to have this recording available to them and has featured it on their Breakfast program in 2020. Taylor has several CDs on various labels including Tall Poppies, ABC and Move. This new work will form part of a planned CD which will feature commissions of Australian female composers.No Full Tex

Creating and Scaling Innovative School Models Through Strategic Partnerships
No full text· The Texas High School Project (THSP) was created in 2003 as a public-private alliance to support education reform across the state.
· This article focuses on the pivotal role of philanthropy within the THSP alliance to create early college high schools (ECHS).
· The model has been scaled at different levels to produce direct, affordable pathways for students to both attend college and attain skilled careers.
· The ECHS schools have higher test scores, greater credits earned, and reduced dropouts rates compared to traditional schools.
· Foundations with a track record for supporting successful work can increase the overall commitment to joint projects and attract additional members and support to an alliance.
· Lessons for successful partnerships include investing in time together, managing the partnership through one organization, and using data for decision-making
Institutional Racism and the Dynamics of Privilege in Public Health
No full textInstitutional racism, a pattern of differential access to material resources and power determined by race, advantages one sector of the population while disadvantaging another. Such racism is not only about conspicuous acts of violence but can be carried in the hold of mono-cultural perspectives. Overt state violation of principles contributes to the backdrop against which much less overt yet insidious violations occur. New Zealand health policy is one such mono-cultural domain. It is dominated by western bio-medical discourses that preclude and under-value Māori, the indigenous peoples of this land, in the conceptualisation, structure, content, and processes of health policies, despite Te Tiriti o Waitangi guarantees to protect Māori interests.
Since the 1980s, the Department of Health has committed to honouring the Treaty of Waitangi as the founding document of Māori-settler relationships and governance arrangements. Subsequent Waitangi Tribunal reports, produced by an independent Commission of Inquiry have documented the often-illegal actions of successive governments advancing the interests of Pākehā at the expense of Māori. Institutional controls have not prevented inequities between Māori and non-Māori across a plethora of social and economic indicators.
Activist scholars work to expose and transform perceived inequities. My research interest lies in how Crown Ministers and officials within the public health sector practice institutional racism and privilege and how it can be transformed. Through dialogue with Māori working within the health sector, fuelled by critical analysis and strategic advice from a research whānau (family) of Māori health leaders and a Pākehā Tiriti worker, and embracing the traditions of feminist and critical race theory I provide evidence of racism that can invoke strong emotional reactions. More disturbing is its normalisation to nigh imperceptibility within ones personal and professional life. The exposure of racism as a socially created phenomenon is a strength of the research presented here.
My action orientation is my ethical response. Honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi is a pathway to transforming racism. Such change is likely to be resisted by the Pākehā majority. This anticipated resistance is not a credible reason to weaken responsibility for such necessary change. Transforming institutional racism needs to be driven by senior managers, professional bodies, unions, and by communities. Policies, practices and leadership that enable institutional racism need to be systematically eliminated from the health sector. Crown officials must be supported to strengthen their professional accountabilities and to embrace ethical bicultural practice. Greater transparency could enable more effective monitoring of Crown behaviour and support transformed practice
