Sites of memory
No full textThis chapter explores the importance in memory studies of the scholarly turn towards place as an object of study. In this regard the huge French collaborative project led by Pierre Nora on lieux de mémoire (sites of memory) has been extremely influential. Keir Reeves discusses Nora’s work, elucidating the distinction he drew between ‘real’ community memory (‘milieux de mémoire’), which he believed died out in France around the 1970s, and the didactic expression of national memory through lieux de mémoire. He notes that Nora has been widely criticized for his focus on national memory, but focuses on how historians and interpreters of heritage have used his concepts to think imaginatively about the ways in which memory, place and the public intersect at sites of historical commemoration. Surveying a wide range of sites across the world, from Australia and Cambodia to the British Channel Islands and the United States, Reeves shows how complex these dynamics of memory can be, and how important it is for historians to be attentive to the responses of visitors to sensitive sites of memory, and to the ways in which their emotions and actions continually reshape the meanings of these landscapes

Land Rights at Risk? Evaluations of the Reeves Report
No full textBuilding on Land Rights for the Next Generation: Report of the Review of the Aboriginal
Land Rights (Northern Territory) Act 1976 was completed in August 1998, and became
publicly available in September. Now commonly called the Reeves Review or the Reeves
Report, after its author, John Reeves QC, it is the product of an expansive (and expensive)
review of the federal Land Rights Act that began in October 1997. The main report is 617
pages and a second volume of appendices is 413 pages. It contains many controversial
recommendations that, if implemented, would fundamentally change the nature and
functioning of land rights legislation in the Northern Territory. There has been a strong
and broadly negative reaction by indigenous stakeholders to the review’s public policy
and constitutional recommendations.
The controversial nature of the Reeves Review has been recognised by the Federal
Government. In January 1999 the Minister for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Affairs
formally instructed the House of Representatives Standing Committee on Aboriginal and
Torres Strait Islander Affairs to undertake an inquiry into the Reeves Review. It is anticipated that the Standing Committee will complete its deliberations by late August

οὐ κακὸς ἐῶν: Megarian Valour and its Place in the Local Discourse at Megara
No full textIn this essay, the author argues that it is possible to recover from the historiographical tradition something of the Megarians’ own account of their city’s role in the defense of Greece against Persia. Reeves demonstrates that this Persian-War history of the Megarians was articulated and encoded through time by a distinctive community, using a set of idiosyncratic and local memes, and that contentions over the military participation and valour of Megarians in this international conflict constituted an important feature of emic Megarian discourse

Publishing and perishing: The critical importance of educational design research
No full textThe outcomes of educational systems continue to lag far behind expectations at all levels, primary, secondary, and tertiary. Meanwhile, the sheer amount of educational research published in refereed journals has expanded enormously. There is an obvious disconnect between the educational research papers published in professional journals or presented at academic conferences and any form of beneficial impact on the students, teachers, and other stakeholders in educational systems. This problem can be traced back to those professors and research supervisors engaged in the preparation of educational researchers who fail to convey to novice researchers important distinctions between the goals and methods of educational research. Educational design research provides a potentially viable alternative to the kind of educational research that is commonly conducted in the field of educational technology. Educational design research has the twin objectives of developing creative approaches to solving human teaching, learning, and performance problems while at the same time constructing a body of design principles that can guide future development efforts. This paper argues that a reconsideration of educational research approaches is crucial and that the time for greater uptake of educational design research is now
