Extractions: The central concern of this subject is to understand the way in which Australian culture is developing through its diverse communities and its social rules and laws. Students look at Australian society from a variety of cultural, political, historical, geographical and economic perspectives. Hence, the subject covers a broad and often complex range of knowledge and draws on a number of disciplines. A great deal of the information to be found in the ABS publications will prove essential for Australian Studies in the classroom as they provide a wealth facts and figures on Australia and its peoples.

Extractions: Australian Institute of Criminology Best Practice Interventions in Corrections for Indigenous People Hilton Hotel, Sydney This conference was organised by the Australian Institute of Criminology in conjunction with the Department of Corrective Services, New South Wales Indigenous Programming in Correctional Settings: A National and International Literature Review Robin Jones Fellow, Department of Criminology, University of Melbourne, Victoria; and CORE the Public Correctional Enterprise, Victoria Abstract This literature review examines the current state of culturally-relevant programming for Indigenous offenders in correctional settings. First, background data pertaining to Australian Aboriginal offenders and the criminal justice system are reviewed. Then the risks and needs of Indigenous offenders are discussed, with particular emphasis on culture-specific issues such as acculturation and ethnic identity. Culturally relevant assessment strategies are then examined, followed by an exploration of issues involved in providing correctional programs for Indigenous offenders. The question of adapting existing programs versus developing new, culture-specific programs is addressed, along with guidelines for selecting appropriate participants and treatment targets. Cross-cultural consultation, Indigenous staffing and cross-cultural awareness training are also explored. Literature included in this review comes from both Indigenous and non-Indigenous sources. Non-Indigenous material includes frameworks such as those of Andrews and Bonta (1998), which recommend basing offender programs upon a detailed understanding of offender risks and needs. It is recognised that the cross-cultural validity of these frameworks should be investigated rather than assumed. Indigenous literature sourced for this review is Australia-specific where possible. A range of Canadian Native American and New Zealand Maori programs are also reviewed, so that Australian programs can adapt and build upon approaches that have already shown promise in other parts of the world.

It will enable students to grasp the ways in which a wide range of specific rock genres (such as punk, heavy metal and disco) have helped mould cultural practices and generational self-representations and conflicts. In particular, youth cultures, centred on popular music, will be examined as an agent of cultural change in contemporary society: they are cultural formations which prefigure other transformations of everyday life. The subject will also briefly examine the unique characteristics of Aboriginal musical production because it offers a specific model of musical culture and political economy in Australia.

Extractions: Indigenous Introduction This section looks at homophobia and its impact on Indigenous people - those from the first peoples of the land and sea in Australia. We have a 200+ year history of invasion, dispossession and conflict between the original inhabitants and mainstream Australia. This section recognises that there will be different questions and answers for Indigenous peoples in Australia. These Indigenous peoples are Aboriginal Australians, Torres Strait Island peoples, and those who have been taken from culture and family and may now know little of their heritage and history. Indigenous and gay? We know that Australia was home to hundreds of different clan groups with different languages and Dreamings. Attitudes towards sex, sexuality and homosexuality varied across different groups of Indigenous peoples. The impact of western cultures has been different. Government policies, church missions, and forced adoption and fostering of children have had different impacts on different groups. All these factors still do. Many Indigenous communities had/have a place for people who identify as 'sistergirls'. This term is used affectionately between Aboriginal women. It is also used to identify people who identify as transgender or transsexual.

The recordkeeping programs of the School are both nationally and internationally recognised as leading edge education for recordkeeping professionals. The program includes a core of four professional subjects which are available both in distance education mode and on campus. These subjects have been tailored for delivery into workplace-based training and education programs and have been successfully delivered in distance education mode to over one hundred staff of the National Archives of Australia.

Extractions: Many individuals have felt compelled to 'go public' in response to one or more in a series of cultural and political events, especially since the Howard-Hanson election of early 1996. Over these divisive years, there has probably been a general 'ramping up' of public discourse. But my focus is not on the broad field of academics, lawyers, health professionals, lobbyists and so forth who have gone public over this or that issue; rather it is on the specific, highly valued, and highly publicised sense of the public intellectual, the fullest and weightiest sense of the term, which has come into prominence over the same period. Most optimistically, I'll suggest we can read these developments as producing new sites for 'civil society'. Less optimistically, I want to attack the idea of the public intellectual as it has operated in this contemporary context, and in particular the relations of value between the ethical, the aesthetic and history which it has brought into being. decline of public intellectual life, the narrowing or disintegration of public culture, a crisis in the contemporary public sphere. As we know, only public intellectuals talk that way. Public intellectuals might be defined as those who see a crisis where others see an event. Although generically a form of over-statement, this can be a useful thing to do as shown by many of the interventions provoked by John Howard's aggressive quietism where the politics of history are concerned. But what does it tell us about how the category of the public intellectual circulates as a specific value? And why might this not be such a good thing after all?

Conclusion The research and analysis of responses to the Discussion Paper and discussions with the Indigenous Reference Group and others, clearly indicates a need for measures which to redress the shortfalls in the current Australian legal system, particularly its ability to provide sufficient recognition, protection, remedies and access to the rights Indigenous people need in relation to their cultural heritage. The purpose of the project was in part to develop practical strategies to improve protection and ensure recognition of Indigenous Cultural and Intellectual Property Rights. Hence, the Discussion Paper looked at a range of possible strategies for protection, including: 1. Changing existing legislation. 2. Enacting specific legislation. 3. Administrative responses.
