One-punch laws, mandatory minimums and ‘alcohol-fuelled’ as an aggravating factor: implications for NSW criminal law
No full textAbstract: This article critically examines the New South Wales State Government’s latest policy response to the problem of alcohol-related violence and anxiety about ‘one punch’ killings: the recently enacted Crimes and Other Legislation Amendment (Assault and Intoxication) Act 2014 (NSW). Based on an analysis of both the circumstances out of which it emerged, and the terms in which the new offences of assault causing death and assault causing death while intoxicated have been defined, I argue that the Act represents another example of criminal law ‘reform’ that is devoid of principle, produces a lack of coherence in the criminal law and, in its operation, is unlikely to deliver on the promise of effective crime prevention in relation to alcohol-fuelled violence
Muriel Spark as auto-biographer in <i>Curriculum</i> <i>Vitae</i>
No full textExamining Muriel Spark's main aims as an auto-biographer in her work Curriculum Vitae brings important resources in the exploration of the genre of autobiographical writing. This with the theoretical engagement, allows consideration of the critical issues surrounding the roles of author and reader in the construction of the literary self. Spark demands the reader participate in the constructon of textual meaning; overturning the conventions of autobiography, satirising its claims to omniscience and highlighting the impossibility of an authentic voice with regard to the self

From single neurons to social brains
No full textThe manufacture of stone tools is an integral part of the human evolutionary trajectory. However, very little research is directed towards the social and cognitive context of the process of manufacture. This article aims to redress this balance by using insights from contemporary neuroscience. Addressing successively more inclusive levels of analysis, we will argue that the relevant unit of analysis when examining the interface between archaeology and neuroscience is not the individual neuron, nor even necessarily the individual brain, but instead the socio-cognitive context in which brains develop and tools are manufactured and used. This context is inextricably linked to the development of unique ontogenetic scheduling, as evidenced by the fossil record of evolving hominin lineages
A case study of teacher preparation in the Atlantic bubble: Faculty and student perceptions of the impact of COVID-19 restrictions at the University of Prince Edward Island
No full textThe University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI) Bachelor of Education program begins in May,
therefore we were faced with beginning a new cohort of preservice teachers online in 2020
before the rest of the university had fully developed procedures for online learning in the face of
the pandemic. In this descriptive case study, we explore the perceptions of 12 teacher educators,
seven preservice teachers, and an administrator within the Faculty of Education through
semistructured interviews. Our goal was to examine both the opportunities of this new modality
thrust upon us, as well as the challenges it brought for faculty and students alike. We discovered
a series of tensions among the participants’ responses: (a) the convenience and constraints of
working from home, (b) course planning and preparation: doing it quickly and doing it right, (c)
modelling pedagogy: what we hoped to do and what we did, (d) engaging students in
synchronous classes, and (e) building relationships: the personal touch, just not in person.
Ultimately, participants perceived more limitations than opportunities; however, a sense of
gratitude pervaded interviews with preservice teachers. From our findings, we offer
recommendations for future research and practice related to online preservice teacher training;
what should be kept as we move forward and what still needs to be improved.

Fernando Leaño\u27s Coward
No full textExcerpt
Fernando Leaño is among the footnotes to history, in this case the history of modern Philippine literature in English. He is so little recognized that he is not even mentioned in Valeros and Valeros- Gruenberg (1987). But, somewhat surprisingly, he is included among the writers interviewed in Alegre and Fernandez (1984, 122-23). I say surprisingly not because Leaño lacked talent but because of his truncated career as a published author of prose fiction
