Shortly after Dodds published an essay in Polar Record entitled ‘Post- colonial Antarctica: an emerging engagement’, leading postcolonial theorists posited the ‘The end of post- colonial theory?’ in the journal PMLA (Publications of the Modern Language Association). Lambasting postcolonial theory as irrelevant, parochial and Anglo-centric, 1 their piece captured a powerful current of discontent. But for Robert Young, a leading theorist of post- colonialism and author of field- setting introductions to postcolonial theory and practice, such an obituary seemed out of place and time..

'Big picture' manifesto: Democratic policy making in contested domains
No full textThis essay articulates the overall approach utilized in this book for examining contentious policy questions associated with controversial and emerging issues in bioethics, which we term ‘Big Picture Bioethics.’ We explore conventional and more novel methodological tools that bioethics can use to evaluate and critique policy processes in these domains. We argue that more traditional bioethics has been limited in its capacity to provide answers to these sorts of questions, even though bioethicists are often consulted about such matters. We contend that there must be more adequate consideration of the range of structural, institutional, political, and cultural factors that shape both how a particular ethical challenge will be understood in a particular jurisdiction and the policy frameworks available for addressing the perceived need for policy. This chapter outlines a novel framework within which we can evaluate public policy making processes on the basis of their informed, democratic legitimacy, with particular attention to the considerations that must be in play when attempting to develop public participation and engagement that meet the requirements of deliberative democracy. It draws on both empirical information about opinions and values of a variety of publics, and the problematization of that empirical evidence as informed by debates in political theory. This approach is preferable because it allows us to avoid assumptions about the need for consensus, which are endemic to most of what is said about policymaking processes within liberal democracies that seek to attend to diversity. In addition, the approach advocated is non-substantive in the sense that it does not prescribe a particular moral framework, beyond a commitment to democratic legitimacy, and hence allows recognition of a range of moral views.Susan Dodds and Rachel A. Anken

Ethical considerations relating to healthcare resource allocation decisions
No full textPublic policy decisions about patients' access to limited healthcare resources must be defensible and responsive to the interests of those affected. Decision-makers should articulate their reasoning and recommendations so that citizens can judge them. While the context of policy decisions will differ, their legitimacy depends upon the transparency of the reasoning, the accountability of the decision-makers, the testability of the evidence used to inform the decision-making and the inclusive recognition of those the decision affects. An example of applying this framework to resource allocation is that of approving effective high-cost anticancer drugs in a timely fashion.Ian Olver, Susan Dodds, Jeremy Kenner, Ian Kerridge, Kevin McGovern, Eleanor Milligan and Robin Mortimer, on behalf of the Australian Health Ethics Committee of the National Health and Medical Research Counci
Overtourism: issues, realities and solutions De Gruyter studies in tourism ;, v. 1./ edited by Rachel Dodds and Richard W. Butler.
No full textIn English.Includes bibliographical references and index.As tourism has surged, there have been increased concerns expressed about overtourism - a phenomena of unsustainable tourism which negatively affects the livelihoods of local communities and the resources upon which tourism is based. As it is becoming increasingly clear that the environmental, social and economic impacts of tourism on destinations must be managed appropriately to secure their long-term viability, there is a critical need to understand governance and planning tools that can resolve current problems of overtourism without losing the benefits of tourism development. The concerns about overtourism expressed in both academic and popular literature include: too many tourists in one place, rowdy and other inappropriate behaviour by tourists, antagonism between residents and tourists, crowding, strains on infrastructure, loss of authenticity, loss of amenity and reduction in quality of life of residents and reduced enjoyment of experiences by tourists. Overtourism is the first book to examine in detail the origin and causes of overtourism and place the topic in a conceptual context with other forms of tourism including sustainable and mass tourism. It includes a number of case studies of overtourism in both urban and rural settings and discusses potential steps to reduce the impacts on both residents and the natural environment of affected areas.

I Wish I’d Been Diagnosed with Cancer: The Stigma of Mental Health
No full textThe author explores how stigma from having a mental health diagnosis can impact the person and those around them. Through both personal and historical contexts, the author examines the effects of social rejection on individuals, families, work opportunities, and personal relationships. There is a clear need for a shift towards a more compassionate and understanding approach to mental health. Dodds argues that open discussions can encourage people to seek help and improve treatment
Participation and Trust: Conditions and Constraints on Democratic Deliberation
No full textPublic engagement in policy making is on mechanism used in an effort to improve the legitimacy of policy decisions surrounding ethically contentious health policy or medical technologies. Citizens’ trust in the process and in the medical, science and democratic institutions surrounding the policy is vital to the success of efforts to engage publics in deliberative processes. This paper explores the nature and role of trust in deliberative democracy, as well as effects of misplaced and abused trust on the legitimacy of specific policies and the overall project of inclusive participation of citizens in public policy deliberation
