    Excellence or exit: ensuring Anangu futures through education

    No full text
    The discussion and recommendations in this document aim to present Anangu leaders, schools and the enabling policy community that supports schools, with key points for debate and consideration, as the platform to develop an ambitious charter for education reform. The review advocates the need to change the approach to schooling at primary, middle and senior school levels as the key means to transform training, learning and employment ‘pathways’ into journeys that lead to exciting destinations and not disappointing dead ends.

    Moving Anthropology: Critical Indigenous Studies

    No full text
    The opening years of the 21st century have seen profound shifts in Australian Indigenous affairs. The essays in this collection bring a fresh and challenging approach to the study of Australia's relationship with Indigenous otherness. The authors examine diverse aspects of contemporary Australian race relations, from the Indigenous music industry, to Toyotas in remote communities, to the repatriation of sacred objects, to the reception of the New History in the bush. These challenging and controversial contributions to current debates show how anthropology is ideally positioned to bring new insights to Indigenous studies. Contributors include Andrew Lattas, Elizabeth Povinelli, Gillian Cowlishaw, Franca Tamasari, Tim Rowse and David Turnbull. [ Aware of the usual 'moves' anthropologists make, this collection begins organically from the thinking and doing that goes on in real situations, and launches a fresh new approach within indigenous domains. Professor Stephen Muecke, University of Technology, Sydney] ['A challenging collection of ethnographies linked by a critical view of current Indigenous studies which leads us to question the future of anthropology in relation to the future existence of Indigenous societies.' Professor Barbara Glowczewski-Barker, College de France and James Cook University] ['This book... is well worth the read. However, there is more work to be done because white possession remains under-theorised as the most powerful aspect of the relationality that the contributors to this volume have claimed to address.'

    The TESS-Keck Survey. XX. 15 New TESS Planets and a Uniform RV Analysis of All Survey Targets

    No full text
    The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) has discovered hundreds of new worlds, with TESS planet candidates now outnumbering the total number of confirmed planets from Kepler. Owing to differences in survey design, TESS continues to provide planets that are better suited for subsequent follow-up studies, including mass measurement through radial velocity (RV) observations, compared to Kepler targets. In this work, we present the TESS-Keck Survey’s (TKS) Mass Catalog: a uniform analysis of all TKS RV survey data that has resulted in mass constraints for 126 planets and candidate signals. This includes 58 mass measurements that have reached ≥5 σ precision. We confirm or validate 32 new planets from the TESS mission either by significant mass measurement (15) or statistical validation (17), and we find no evidence of likely false positives among our entire sample. This work also serves as a data release for all previously unpublished TKS survey data, including 9,204 RV measurements and associated activity indicators over our three-year survey. We took the opportunity to assess the performance of our survey and found that we achieved many of our goals, including measuring the mass of 38 small (<4 R _⊕ ) planets, nearly achieving the TESS mission’s basic science requirement. In addition, we evaluated the performance of the Automated Planet Finder as survey support and observed meaningful constraints on system parameters, due to its more uniform phase coverage. Finally, we compared our measured masses to those predicted by commonly used mass–radius relations and investigated evidence of systematic bias
