words : assorted, arranged, bludgeoned into shape MAKING SCIENCE FOR WHOM? R.W. Home (ed.), Australian science in the making , Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1988 by Tim Sherratt [review essay published in: Antithesis , vol. 2, no. 2, 1988/9, pp. 13-18] The title of this book, Australian Science in the making The idea that science can be 'made' through the achievement of a pre-established goal, would suggest that this book should be concerned with Australia's scientific 'arrival'. This theme fits well with the book's role as a contribution to the 200th anniversary of the European invasion of this continent. It also seems reflected in the nationalistic cover design, which, in red, white and blue, sees the Southern Cross rising over 'Australian Science'. More significantly though, such ideas are reflected in the organization of the text. Australian Science in the making is a collection of articles relating to the historical development of science in Australia. As the editor notes in his Introduction, this is not intended as a comprehensive coverage of the field, but rather as an examination of certain questions bearing on the central theme of 'Man's [sic] attempts to understand nature in an Australian setting'. Topics range from 'Aboriginal conceptions of the workings of nature' to 'Baron von Mueller: Protege turned patron', 'Science on service, 1939-1945', and 'The shaping of contemporary scientific institutions'. The fifteen articles are arranged in a chronological manner, but, most importantly, they are also divided into three sections: 'Early days', 'Science in a colonial society' and 'Passage to modernity'. These three sections correspond to the three phases in the spread of Western science, proposed by George Basalla in 1967:

Having made themselves comfortable in the dense forest, Rama and Sita continued to live as man and wife, enjoying all the pleasures that attend to a married and devoted couple. Not once during her captivity (twelve months) did Ravana make a physical advance towards Sita.

World Socialist Web Site www.wsws.org WSWS Australian rural students face severe disadvantage By Warwick Doolan and Erika Zimmer 6 February 2002 Back to screen version Send this link by email Email the author World Socialist Web Site Overall, rural and remote students were far less likely to complete even the compulsory years of schooling. In Mosman and Ku-ring-gai, affluent suburbs in northern Sydney, 97.3 percent of 16-year-olds attended school, compared to 40.4 percent in the Kimberley region of Western Australian, 46.9 percent in southern Tasmania or 52.6 percent in south-west and central Queensland. High school completion rates showed variations for urban, rural and remote students, at 67 percent, 63 percent and 54 percent respectively. When broken down into states, even wider gaps emerged. For example in Victoria, the highest metropolitan score recorded was 81.5 percent, compared to rural Gippsland, which scored 64.4 percent. Disturbing inequality When specific groups were looked at, such as Aboriginal children, the levels of inequality were even more polarised with only 39.7 percent of Aboriginal girls and 28.2 percent of Aboriginal boys participating in the two post-compulsory years of schooling, let alone completing high school. The study reported that numbers of Aboriginal children living in remote communities and some children living on pastoral stations had no schools to attend. About 700 to 1,000 children in one region alone, the Arnhem Land region of the Northern Territory, had no access even to primary education. Sidoti noted that some 15 East Arnhem Aboriginal Communities had no schools. One submission reported that up to 200 children around Doomadgee in northern Queensland were in same position.

Culture Specific Diseases There are some diseases that have very limited distributions around the world due to the fact that they are caused by unique combinations of environmental circumstances and cultural practices. These are generally referred to as culture specific diseases or culture bound syndromes. Some cause relatively minor health problems while others are very serious and can even be fatal. An example of a relatively harmless culture specific medical condition was "rave rash" in England during the late 1990's. This afflicted young women who went to "raves", or large-scale pop music dance parties that went on all night long. Aggressive dance motions without wearing a bra sometimes lead to a painful rash on their nippleshence "rave rash." Kuru is a fatal culture specific disease of the brain and nervous system that was found among the South Foré people of the eastern New Guinea Highlands. Until recently, it was thought that kuru is caused by a virus with a prolonged incubation period. Evidence now points to

I have been asked to speak about a vision for public broadcasters in the 21st century, yet I wonder if I have that certainty of foresight. Ionesco may have been right when he said "You can only predict things after they have happened". (i) If our experiences during the last decade have proven anything, it is that our predictions should be less confident. As this conference amply demonstrates, there is no simple narrative for such a complex beast as public broadcasting. We have so many different origins, histories and local contexts, differing places in our national cultures and media environments. But we are united by a set of common privileges and responsibilities - responsibilities which can sometimes seem a burden of conflicting expectations. Nevertheless, many of our experiences during the last decade are very similar. To inform, educate and entertain, though sometimes mocked as a set of impossibly virtuous slogans, have still been up there earning our attention.

Author details Abstract Cultural diversity refers to more than ethnic diversity: age, gender, sexual preference, capabilities, education, place of residence, and occupation (including the health professions) contribute to diversity of culture. Education and training of palliative medicine specialists in Australia needs to include a focus on cultural competence. Australia is truly multicultural and no longer a place where minority cultures are assimilated into a perceived dominant Western culture emanating from British settlement at the end of the 18th century. The generations of Indigenous people who have lived in Australia for maybe 60 000 years are the continuing cultural substrate, in the city and the country, of our complex nation. The waves of immigrants from Europe and Asia, and more recently the Middle East, have increased the need for intercultural understanding, and for appreciation of the richness that cultural diversity brings. Concepts of culture in Australia Australia is multicultural not only by reason of its rich racial and ethnic diversity, but also by reason of diversity in age, gender and sexual preference, capabilities, actualisation of these capabilities, occupation, socioeconomic status, language and place of residence. Cultures are myriad in Australian society, and each individual is embedded to varying extents in several cultures, forming a unique locus of intersection. Cultures change or evolve over time. Attitudes and practices regarding care of the dying (and dead) have changed in Australia, from unspeakable neglect common in the early European settlements

Author details Are we doing enough to target children in need in Australia? Abstract Although children in Australia generally have good health, some alarming indicators of poor health and wellbeing exist, which are related to major socioeconomic discrepancies. The pathways connecting socioeconomic disadvantage to child health outcomes are complex and poorly understood. Reducing social disadvantage requires strategies beyond the health arena, involving political, moral, cultural and economic initiatives. Overseas studies of early intervention and home visiting programs in early childhood have shown improvements in child health and development outcomes. Similar programs have been introduced in Australia and face considerable challenges in their widespread roll-out and evaluation. Health professionals need to develop practical ways to interact with community programs and thus improve social capital.

Evaluation of your learning Introductory Academic Program (IAP) It is widely agreed by scholars of cross-cultural learning that knowledge itself is culture-specific and that competent demonstration of knowledge in one context does not guarantee, or even suggest, successful performance in another. Students from non-Australian cultures studying in Australia need to become aware of how students in this academic context are judged, and of how to increase their own potential to succeed against a new, and somewhat unfamiliar, set of assessment criteria. The IAP is carefully designed to address the specific learning needs of students who have succeeded academically in a different culture and now are required to perform in the Australian academic context. The IAP teaches students how to meet the academic standards required in an Australian university and gives a specific introduction to Flinders University. The course has the following objectives: to extend students' learning strategies towards a critical rather than a reproductive learning style;

The Australian Syndrome Stefano Occhipinti s l o w the international herald of taste Sitting uneasily at the confluence of North American and Asia-Pacific cultures and looking back nostalgically to Great Britain, post-colonial Australia continues to wash the red dust from its clothes and to wave away the flies from its dinner plates. In real and metaphorical senses, food, immigration and cleanliness are intertwined in the expression of sensitivity to contamination. As a case study, Australia provides a vein of material on the rituals and regulations surrounding food purity and contamination that is relevant both to its specific identity as a settler society of British origin and to the discussion of general Anglo-American perspectives. One of the defining features of post-WWII Australia has been the arrival of over 5 million migrants from around the world - the nation grazed omnivorously across cultures for nourishment. In the subsequent intermingling of cultures, food preferences and customs have clearly played a significant role in bridging or extending social distance. Here the Australian taste for takeaway and snack foods of overwhelmingly foreign origin has always been indulged against a background of a national diet imported from Britain that itself lay incongruously on Antipodal soil. Order and purity in a vacuum Paradoxical ambivalence Hence, in the Australian historical context, food has been unique in the function that it performs as a marker of culture. In particular, foods and food-related practices coded as exotic have performed a function of separating the Anglo mainstream from other cultures, especially the potentially dirty non-British and non-European ones. In this connection, food in Australia provides an important context for positive intergroup contact in which culturally coded foods enrich the traditional mainstream. Conversely, when such contact is negative, the results are emotionally charged perceptions of culturally coded foods as dirty and disgusting (e.g. invertebrates such as whole squid; offal; and foods regarded as inappropriate in Anglo-Australian culture such as dog or bat).
