Taboos & Transgressions: In Conversation with Darren Elliott-Smith
No full textDr. Darren Elliott-Smith is Senior Lecturer in Film and Television at University of Stirling, Scotland. His research is focused on representations of queerness, gender, and the body in horror film and television. He has published numerous academic articles, contributed to book collections, and is the author of Queer Horror Film and Television (I.B. Tauris, 2016) and co-editor of New Queer Horror Film and Television (UWP, 2020) with Dr John Edgar Browning. I was able to sit down with him for a chat about his work, the link between horror and eroticism, and the current queer horror moment

Introduction: Why Natural Outdoor Playspaces?
No full textIn a country where the outdoor lifestyle of bush and beach is iconic, it is a paradox that the next generation is increasingly cooped up indoors or playing in synthetic outdoor play spaces - places where there is not a tree to climb, a cicada nymph shell to discover or a mud pie to be molded. Is this what we want for our children? \ud
\ud
This publication is a response in particular, to the emergence of synthetic and generic outdoor play spaces in early childhood centres in Australia. The authors are concerned from a number of perspectives. These include young children's opportunities for exploration, discovery and learning, the physical and mental health of children and staff, human connections with nature and the promotion and practice of sustainable living. This publication brings together a group of authors with expertise in early childhood play space use and development, children's health and well-being, landscape architecture, play space standards and sustainability. We are committed to change, to shifting the paradigm about what early childhood outdoor play spaces should look like. The Outdoor Play Space – Naturally will inspire early childhood educators, managers of children's services, parent committees and others in the early childhood sector to reflect critically on what is currently happening in our early childhood centres and to actively participate in the paradigm shift towards natural outdoor play spaces

Schoenus quartziticus T. L. Elliott & Muasya 2019, sp. nov.

Proximal and subproximal primary inflorescence bracts without membranaceous extensions at base. <i>Spikes</i> 2–4, 7.0–15.0 mm long, usually dispersed along rachis. <i>Spikelets</i> lanceolate, relatively short, 3.4–3.9 × 0.7–1.0 mm, pedicellate, 3–6 spikelets per spike, ranging from firm to membranaceous or chaffy in texture. <i>Proximal spikelet prophyll</i> 1 per spikelet, with an inconspicuous vein extending to mucro, 0.4–0.9 mm long, prophyll mucro (0.8–) 2.2–3.4 mm long. <i>Rachilla</i> 0.6–2.4(—7.2) mm long. <i>Glumes</i> 4–7 per spikelet, proximal glume (0.5–)1.0– 1.8 mm long, subproximal glume 1.0– 2.2 mm long, upper glumes longer than basal ones, lower glumes sometimes over half the length of spikelet, apex obtuse. Glume mucros absent or short, proximal mucro 0.1–1.7 mm long, subproximal mucro 0.1–1.6 mm long. <i>Stamens</i> 3 per floret, anthers not measured. <i>Stigmas</i> 3-branched, vestigial stigmas of second bisexual floret not observed. <i>Perianth bristles</i> about half the length of nutlet. <i>Nutlet</i> broad elliptic, trigonous, yellowish in colour, 1.9–2.0 × 0.6–0.7 mm. <i>Nutlet beak</i>, 0.4–0.8 mm long, hispid (Figs. 2 and 4).</p> <p> <i>Flowering:</i> August</p> <p> <i>Distribution and ecology: Schoenus quartziticus</i> has been collected from the Agulhas Plain region of South Africa (Fig. 17), appearing to be endemic to quartz patches on shale-derived soils.</p> <p> <i>Diagnosis:</i> The lanceolate spikelets of <i>S. quartziticus</i> often have relatively thin, membranaceous glumes (Fig. 4N) and somewhat resemble those of the more robust form of <i>S. exilis</i> in size and shape. However, the nutlets of the two species differ, with those of <i>S. quartziticus</i> being broad elliptic, while <i>S. exilis</i> has narrow elliptic nutlets.</p> <p>Additional collections examined</p> <p> South Africa.
