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

Ep. #182 - Heather Davis
No full textThis recording and transcript form part of a collection of podcasts conducted by the Cultures of Energy at Rice University. Cultures of Energy brings writers, artists and scholars together to talk, think and feel their way into the Anthropocene. We cover serious issues like climate change, species extinction and energy transition. But we also try to confront seemingly huge and insurmountable problems with insight, creativity and laughter.Your cohosts report on the adventures of Cymene’s birthday week. We then (10:41) revel in the glory of having the most excellent Heather Davis (https://heathermdavis.com)—co-editor of Art in the Anthropocene: Encounters Among Aesthetics, Politics, Environments and Epistemologies (London: Open Humanities Press, 2015) and editor of Desire Change: Contemporary Feminist Art in Canada (MAWA and McGill-Queen’s UP, 2017)—from the New School on the podcast. We begin with her new book project, Plastic: The Afterlife of Oil—soon to be part of the Elements series at Duke U Press—and talk about how the duration of plastic haunts the present and influences our future in many often invisible ways. Heather explains to us what she means by “petrotime,” how plastic creates an intimacy with deep time and impermanence, and what we learn from creatures who have found the plastisphere nourishing. We turn from there to the problem of inheritance, mutability, plastic’s inability to uphold its own promise of synthetic universality and yet its capacity to globalize plasticity. We ask Heather what she thinks of the alt-plastics movement and talk about whether new plastics will really challenge the culture of disposability. Finally, we touch on plastic as a bastard child of humanity, Heather’s work on art in the Anthropocene and her thoughts about how artistic practice can help us to learn to live otherwise
