- Description: Indigenous peoples' participation in Australia's modern military conflict's has until the 1970's been largely sidelined by historians. Recent scholarship in this field has revealed far greater participation numbers than previously thought. The general consideration is now that Indigenous people in the Great War participated as an extension of their ongoing effort to shape and alter their social and political realities. "From abstract"

- Description: Cross-module interfaces, such as the syntax-semantics interface, are among the most problematic properties to fully acquire in a second language (L2). First language (L1) monodialectal and bidialectal speakers may show different performances at the interfaces in L2. However, little is known if such a different performance is caused by learners' diverse L1 dialectal backgrounds. The study is motivated by the need to link speech-language pathology and word order typological studies in a bidialectal/bilingual context. The aim is to investigate L1 bidialectism in the L2 syntax-semantics interface acquisition outcome and to separate language difference from language disorder. A sentence-picture matching task on the topic-comment structure was administered among 37 Mandarin monodialectal and 39 Mandarin - Wu bidialectal child speakers. Results of a generalized linear model showed that L1 bidialectals exhibited better syntactic-semantic awareness in L2 than their L1 monodialectal counterparts. The results showed that mono- and bidialectal speakers have different performance patterns at the syntax-semantics interface involving noncanonical word orders for L2. However, the L2 performance was under the impact of language difference between L1 and L2, it does not qualify for Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). Finally, the study offers both theoretical and clinical implications for the diagnosis and assessment of bilingual DLD. © 2024 John Benjamins Publishing Company.

- Description: Newcastle is located on the east coast of Australia in the state of New South Wales (NSW). Coal mining began in the early 19th centrury, and from the 1850s encouraged the development of pit-top towns gathered around an increasingly busy river port. Coal mining shifted west into the Hunter Valley where there are still vast amounts of open pit coal production. Mining also encouraged industrial development in engineering, transport and, from 1915, iron and steel production. Deindustrialization in Newcastle dates from the mid-1970s and plant closures accelerated in the 1980s and 1990s as the steel works and other related manufacturing industries closed down.

- Description: As Judith Bennett's quotation observes, the impact of the Pacific War on Pacific Islanders was a unique event that permanently changed patterns of life throughout the region. This chapter iTivestigates and analyses the present day cultural heritage legacy issues associated with WWII. It emphasizes the irnporrance of Islander perspectives of the conflict and how their heri tage is remembered and conunemorated at th.e present time. It also consid ers how official heritage dialogues commemorate the war. For many, the memory of the Pacific War, as well as in tum attention to the remaining heri tage, is fading and in some instances is no longer relevant. Seemingly there are competing trends regarding commemoration of war heritage or, increas ingly, forgetting it. Many Pacific Islands exhibit longevity in nurturing their war memory and heritage. An indicative example is the Solomon Islands, where there has been a recent spate of commemorative events and public sculptures to honour the coasrwatchers. Yet other Pacific Island societies place less and less value on their war heritage as time goes by. This tension between remembering and forgetting is primarily associated with the Pacific War's intangible heritage. "From introduction"

- Description: The International Labour Organization characterises being young in today's labour market as 'not easy'. In parts of Gippsland, a regional area of Victoria Australia, it is certainly not easy because youth unemployment reached 21.7% in 2016, the second highest in the state. Within this regional-global context, research into youth aspirations is often bounded by a deficit-focused framework with little emphasis on contextual positives. This chapter, however, reports on a 5-year project of an innovative regional school-industry partnership. 'Broadening Horizons' provides project-based workplace learning units where partners immerse students in 'realworld problems' such as road safety and public transport. The Gippsland regional office of the Department of Education sought a formal evaluation of the project from the local university, at the time Monash Gippsland, but in 2014, we became part of FederationUniversity Australia. This chapter outlines findings from a mixedmethodology evaluation of the project's pilot stage and points out a number of important factors. These include a broader understanding of youth career support, youth aspirations and education/industry partnerships in a regional context, and the importance of involving parents. One school, in particular, achieved very successful parental involvement, which had a major impact on the learning and engagement of the students involved.We conclude that projects like this help to illustrate the complexities associated with youth aspirations in a regional context and may help to challenge associated, unsubstantiated stereotypes. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2019.

- Description: Albert Einstein once defined the term 'insanity' as doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different outcome. Whilst we are not advocating that attempts to address issues surrounging girls' physical activity (PA) participation are in vain or that all attempts have been similare in nature, we do acknowledge that these concerns, and research conceived to address these issues, are not particularly new. In fact, many authors have discussed the reported decline in PA participation by adolescent girls (and the reasons for this) both within Australian contexts (Australian Bureau of Statistics 2011; Garrett 2004; Slater and Tiggemann 2010; Wright, Macdonald and Groom 2003) and internationally (Flintoff and Scraton 2001; O'Donovan and Kirk 2008). More recently, similar trends have been highlighted in research conducted in Australian rural and regional contexts (Barnett et al. 2002; Casey, Eime, Payne and Harvey 2009).

- Description: “I came to find my father”Indiana Jones and the Quest for the Lost Father Linda Wight Numerous commentators have observed the pervasive concern with father- son relationships in the films of Steven Spielberg. Lester D. Friedman writes, “No matter the genre, father figures—good and bad, dependable and unreliable, genetic and assumed—pervade Spielberg’s movies” (95). Spielberg has been particularly noted for his repeated depiction of “psychologically and emotionally lost boys” and “missing, consumed, distant, or malevolent father figures” (34), a pattern often attributed to Spielberg’s own well-publicized troubled relationship with his emotionally distant father (34). Father- son relationships are a feature of each of the Indiana Jones films,though it is in the third and fourth installments that the quest for father- son reconciliation takes thematic primacy. In Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indy’s seduction of the teenage Marion is framed as a betrayal of her father, Abner, who loved Indy “like a son,” while Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom positions Indy as surrogate father to eleven- year-old Short Round and the Indian children whom he frees from a Thuggee cult. The later films expand on these concerns. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade explores the adolescent rebellion implied by Indy’s betrayal of Abner in Raiders, attributing Indy’s immaturity and search for surrogate father figures to the emotional neglect of his bio-logical father, Henry Jones. Last Crusade emphasizes that a positive father-son relationship is crucial to both father and son’s achievement of a mature, well- rounded masculine identity. Thus, the quest for the Holy Grail becomes inextricably bound up with, and indeed secondary to, the quest for father-son reconciliation. Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull again positions father- son reconciliation as crucial in the quest for a secure and respected masculine identity. Building upon his role as surrogate father in Temple of Doom, Indy discovers he has a biological son, “Mutt,” with Marion.

- Description: The Aboriginal story of the Burke and Wills Expedition and relief expeditions is at once multi-faceted and complex with many interconnected threads that have rarely been teased out in historical analyses. In many respects the Aboriginal story has been overshadowed by the tragedy and misfortune of the expedition in which seven men, including Burke and Wills, died. Yet the exclusion of Aboriginal perspectives is a structural matter, as epitomised in Moorehead’s analysis. The description of central Australia as a ‘ghastly blank’ (Moorehead 1963, p. 1) where the land was ‘absolutely untouched and unknown, and except for the blacks, the most retarded people on earth, there was no sign of any previous civilization whatever’, is representative of the exclusion of Aboriginal people from the narrative and if Aboriginal people are discussed, it is often in racist tones. As Allen (2011, p. 245) rightly pointed out:

- Description: For educators and educational researcherswho value democracy and planetary sustainability, our times present pedagogical challenges. The (re)emergence of populism, alt-right violences and the pressing climate crisis, among other global matters, present a dilemma. How do we simultaneously foster the will to form generous, ethical, judgements and actions in students, while meeting their immediate needs and themyriad curricula and governance demands placed on schools, from the context of local circumstances? In response, Susan, a Federation University Gippsland Education (FUGuE) researcher; Gabbi a principal/teacher; Sophie a part-time teacher; and a year's 4-6 class, embarked on a yearlong project to seewhat might be possible from the context of a relatively isolated and tiny Victorian government primary school in the rural/coastal area of SouthGippsland, on the southern coast ofmainland Australia. Together, in a new partnership, we aimed to simultaneously expand students' oral language experiences while cultivating an 'encompassing ethic', an idea from Sue's doctoral thesis. This is the will and capability to visit standpoints of others-human, non-human, past, present and future-in order to encompass the widest possible range of perspectives before forming judgements, speaking and acting. We synthesised this 'going visiting' with the Speaking and Listening mode, and the Ethical Capabilities area of the Victorian Curriculum. The project emerged as a productively and inspirationally transformative one for many of us. So, this chapter reflects on and theorizes the factors that produced transformational possibilities from a small rural school, which enacted its motto of Little School, Big Heart. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2019.

- Description: The transformation of teacher educator practice and the implications for practitioner research for a Federation University Gippsland Education (FUGuE) academic are explored in this chapter. It centres on a 'service-learning' partnership that endeavours to reduce inequality by engaging local pre-service teachers and promoting quality education at the primary and tertiary level, which is a United Nations Sustainable Development Goal to which I respond. This study explores my transformational journey from being involved in such partnership opportunities. Prompted by the particulars of place-in this case, some community needs in central Gippsland-and a school-based service-learning partnership with a philanthropic organisation, I consider how my pedagogy, practice and opportunities for research have been enriched. Using a self-study methodology, I analyse how the project aligned with the six elements of Fink's Significant Learning Framework to provide a detailed description of the learning, the critical nature of academic reflection and the impact on personal growth in relation to my involvement. In addition, my practice is examined by collecting anecdotal data from Pre-service Teachers (PSTs) indicating how they connected theory with practical application. To gain nuanced insights around the impact on the learning of PSTs and the author, the self-study utilised research methods such as recording conversations, critical reflection and anecdotal observations. This collection of data was analysed for emerging themes structured around the theoretical framework. The chapter shares my insights as indicated by the transformation of practice as a reflective practitioner and researcher. © Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2019. All rights are reserved.

- Description: Media coverage of Internet risks in wider society has been labelled as exaggerated, sensationalistic, and inciting 'moral panic'. In considering 'moral panic' and risk perspectives in educational organisations, several issues need to be addressed. These are the nature of risk perspectives, the validity of 'moral panic' as an analytical concept and the impact of 'moral panic' upon risk perspectives. Before focusing upon the concept of 'moral panic', the writings of Ulrich Beck draw upon to consider the nature of risk perceptions in late modernity, and explore their connection to the mass media. Media coverage of risks arising from chat-line use has been singularly focused on the activities of paedophiles, portraying both children and youths as simply being in danger. Staffs were concerned about risks posed by the activities of paedophiles in chat rooms as well as the adult nature of some of the language use.

It introduces a multidisciplinary heritage approach, focusing on the Kew Lunatic Asylum in Melbourne. This vast, impressive and prominent building highlights the level of government and public focus on benevolence, and benevolent incarceration, prevalent in Victorian era colonial society. When it opened, the Kew Asylum was among the largest such complexes in the world, its creators aspiring to bring forth a model institution that was not only an exemplar of colonial Victorian society but also of the British Empire.
