Book Synopsis Addressing Entrenched Disadvantage in Australia by : Sarah-Jane Derby
Download or read book Addressing Entrenched Disadvantage in Australia written by Sarah-Jane Derby and published by CEDA. This book was released on 1985-04-21 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Entrenched disadvantage - long-term, persistent, and chronic disadvantage - is a 'wicked problem' in Australia, and current government policies to remove entrenchment are not working. This paper explains the nature and scope of entrenched disadvantage and calls for new policies that work to both lessen disadvantage and make sure it does not become entrenched. To explore these issues in more detail, the paper features three chapters that examine the particular key areas of education gaps, Indigenous disadvantage, and mental illness. These chapters are written by noted experts Peter Saunders, Francisco Azpitarte, Eve Bodsworth, Anne Hampshire, Nicholas Biddle, and Lorna Moxham.
Book Synopsis Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste by : Janeen Baxter
Download or read book Never Let a Crisis Go to Waste written by Janeen Baxter and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper from social policy experts at the Australian Research Council Centre of Excellence for Children and Families over the Life Course (Life Course Centre) identifies and examines a range of policy reform opportunities in Australia arising from COVID-19. Their analysis provides an optimistic, forward-looking counterpoint to what has undoubtedly been a catastrophic global event. The authors demonstrate how COVID-19 presents unique opportunities for rethinking and redesigning long-standing rules and regulations covering how people live and work in Australia, with some opportunities arising coincidentally and others requiring purposeful policy and institutional redesign. They present a broad range of ideas to address entrenched disadvantage in health, labour markets, the tax and transfer system, gender equality, education, housing and criminal justice in Australia, in order to leverage the COVID-19 crisis to build a better society.

It provides a compilation of the most current research-based practices as well as guidelines for evidence-based assessment and intervention for common conditions (e.g., autism, depression, learning disabilities) and for delivering appropriate services to targeted student populations (e.g., LGBT, gifted, medical issues). Chapters discuss the application of national and international school psychology practices within the Australian educational and psychological structure. The handbook also examines the lack of formal resources specific to Australia’s culture and psychology systems, with its unique mix of metropolitan cities and the vast geographic landscape that spans regional and remote areas. It offers numerous case studies and innovative school mental health programs as well as recommendations for professional development and advocacy that are unique to Australian school psychology. Topics featured in this Handbook include: Evidence-based assessment and intervention for dyscalculia and mathematical disabilities. Identification and management of adolescent risk-taking behaviors and addictions. Understanding and responding to crisis and trauma in the school setting. Prevention and intervention for bullying in schools. Class and school-wide approaches to addressing behavioral and academic needs. The role of school psychologists in the digital age. Practical advice for school psychologists facing complex ethical dilemmas. The Handbook of Australian School Psychology is a must-have resource for researchers, scientist-practitioners, and graduate students in child and school psychology, social work, and related fields that address mental health services for children and adolescents.

Download or read book Disadvantage written by Jo Lampert and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2024-01-11 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recognition of disadvantage is seen as crucial in preparing socially just teachers who can recognize and address inequities, and this engaging guide provides innovative strategies to reflect on disadvantage. Coupled with its discursive partners, inclusion and diversity, trainee teachers are asked to engage with theories of disadvantage, and advised to recognize, support and lead change for students who historically experience high levels of exclusion and marginalization. But what does disadvantaged mean? In this book, the authors draw together international perspectives to explore the subtle and complex differences produced by the keyword disadvantage in different geo-political contexts, and look at the political, historical, social, and cultural significance of the word. They showcase narratives from the subjects of disadvantage, including indigenous perspectives. They include standpoints from immigrants, asylum seekers and refugees and consider the intersectional nature of disadvantage, for instance, the experiences of LGBTQI+ groups who are living in poverty.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book examines how families and other social institutions interact to shape outcomes over the life course.

Book Synopsis Livable Cities from a Global Perspective by : Roger W. Caves
Download or read book Livable Cities from a Global Perspective written by Roger W. Caves and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-11 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Livable Cities from a Global Perspective offers case studies from around the world on how cities approach livability. They address the fundamental question, what is considered "livable?" The journey each city has taken or is currently taking is unique and context specific. There is no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach to livability. Some cities have had a long history of developing livability policies and programs that focus on equity, economic, and environmental concerns, while other cities are relatively new to the game. In some areas, government has taken the lead while in other areas, grassroots activism has been the impetus for livability policies and programs. The challenge facing our cities is not simply developing a livability program. We must continually monitor and readjust policies and programs to meet the livability needs of all people. The case studies investigate livability issues in such cities as Austin, Texas; Helsinki, Finland; London, United Kingdom; Warsaw, Poland; Tehran, Iran; Salt Lake City, United States; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Sydney, Australia; and Cape Town, South Africa. The chapters are organized into such themes as livability in capital city regions, livability and growth and development, livability and equity concerns, livability and metrics, and creating livability. Each chapter provides unique insights into how a specific area has responded to calls for livable cities. In doing so, the book adds to the existing literature in the field of livable cities and provides policy makers and other organizations with information and alternative strategies that have been developed and implemented in an effort to become a livable city.
Book Synopsis Addressing Violence, Abuse and Oppression by : Barbara Fawcett
Download or read book Addressing Violence, Abuse and Oppression written by Barbara Fawcett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-07-04 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Everyone working in health and social care is at one point or another confronted by violent behaviour and its consequences. Addressing Violence, Abuse and Oppression provides a broad overview of violence in relation to a range of groups and areas that involve human service professionals. Adopting an international perspective, this book looks at the ways in which violence, abuse and oppression can be clearly associated with power imbalances which are often gendered and which are covertly or overtly manifested at a range of levels including the interpersonal as well as the organizational and the political. It explores debates and challenges with regard to theoretical orientations, policy frameworks and how power imbalances intersect with a range of influencing factors including gender, poverty, indigenous/ethnic issues, class and sexuality. Examining the implications for human service professionals, each chapter of Addressing Violence, Abuse and Oppression provides an historical overview, explores theoretical perspectives, examines specific policy and practice context, appraises the contribution from research and assesses the impact for individuals and groups.

Book excerpt: Australia has experienced its longest ever period of economic growth over the last quarter century. Yet, there is growing debate about the distribution of benefits from this growth, and the extent to which inequality is increasing. One in eight adults and more than one in six children are living in poverty, while the share of income going to the top is growing at the expense of low- and middle-income earners. Inequality extends beyond income to educational,postcode, intergenerational and technological inequality ¿ all of whichare at the core of opportunity. How are poverty and inequality measured;what are the features of deprivation experienced by people living withentrenched economic disadvantage, struggling with rising costs of living and housing pressures, reliant on social security and charity? Is Australia,long seen as the land of the egalitarian `fair go¿, now a divided nation of`haves¿ and `have-nots¿? How do we tackle economic disadvantage and poverty, and promote fairness and opportunity for all?

Book Synopsis The Age of Post-Rationality by : Val Colic-Peisker
Download or read book The Age of Post-Rationality written by Val Colic-Peisker and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-10-24 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book challenges the hegemonic view that economic calculation represents the ultimate rationality. The West legitimises its global dominance by the claim to be a rational, democratic, science-based and progressive civilisation. Yet, over the past decades, the dogma of economic rationality has become an ideological black hole whose gravitational pull allows no public debate or policy to escape. Political leaders of all creeds are held in its orbit and public language is saturated by it. This dogma has pervaded all spheres of life, ushering the age of post-rationality, especially in English speaking countries. The authors discuss several aspects of post-rational global capitalism still dominated by the Anglosphere: hyper-competition, hyper-consumption, inequality, volatile global financial markets, environmental degradation and the unforeseen effects of the internet-mediated communication revolution. The book concludes by discussing some utopian and dystopian future scenarios and asking whether the West can transcend its crisis of rationality.
