More Than a Marriage of Convenience: The Convergence of Management and Indigenous Educational Practice
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 27-10-2010
Abstract: In today’s globalized world, there is an increasing imperative to operate in multiple and culturally erse contexts. An intercultural approach to management education prepares students to work anywhere in the world. What lessons can be learned from other cultures that can enhance how managers operate in international forums? The authors seek to answer that question by reviewing the lessons learned from teaching Indigenous peoples in Australia. Using a conversational narrative, this study reflects on the understanding and incorporating of different cultural domains and knowledge systems into management education. The study concludes with suggestions for the inclusion of cultural standards for management curricula.

The fear of not flying: Achieving sustainable academic plane travel in higher education based on insights from South Australia
Publisher: MDPI AG
Date: 12-05-2019
DOI: 10.3390/SU11092694
Abstract: Universities are both disseminators and producers of the climate knowledge needed to institute the social and cultural change required for climate adaptation and mitigation to occur. They also have the opportunity to lead and model pro-environmental behavior, yet often have large carbon budgets, partly caused by staff travel. This paper explores this topic via an institutional case study of what factors motivate the academic community to undertake plane travel and the implications this has for wielding wider societal influence in terms of pro-environmental behavior. We report on a year-long qualitative social science study of academic plane travel at the University of Adelaide, South Australia where we investigated the tension between academic requirements to travel and the institution’s formal commitment to sustainability within the C us Sustainability Plan. We found that, while many academics were worried about climate change, very few were willing to change their current practice and travel less because they are not institutionally incentivized to do so. There is a fear of not flying: plane travel is perceived as a key driver for career progression and this is an ongoing barrier to pro-environmental behavior. We conclude that institutional and political change will be required for in idual change to occur and sustainable agendas to be met within academic communities.

Cultural indicators, country and culture: the Arabana, change and water
Publisher: CSIRO Publishing
Date: 2015
DOI: 10.1071/RJ15055
Abstract: Water is of paramount importance to all people who live in Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre, Australia, but to the Arabana people, one of the Indigenous peoples of the region, it also holds immense cultural significance. Having lived in the region for thousands of years, Arabana people have developed their own methods to assess the ecological condition of their water sites. This paper presents the results of a collaborative project designed to develop a suite of cultural indicators for water sites in the Kati Thanda region. Based on field trips and a comprehensive desktop review, this paper presents the indicators or ‘signs’ used by the Arabana to assess condition. Key results show that although water has multiple values for the Arabana, water itself is understood as a series of sites within one country rather than as a series of ecosystems or types of water body. Further, the cultural indicators or the ‘signs’ by which Arabana people assess conditions are potentially synergistic with scientific indicators and include fauna, flora, quality, soil, and climatic dimensions. However, Arabana people also assess a site according to its history and the level of cultural knowledge about the site. The paper concludes with a reflection on whether or not these indicators can be used in more generic ways across the region to assist in broader river assessment processes. A cultural indicator schemata is suggested as a starting mechanism for identifying cultural indicators in other parts of Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre, but the paper concludes by arguing that any effective implementation of such a schemata must involve Indigenous peoples at every level.

Climate change adaptation in Australia

DOI: 10.1108/17568691011089918
Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the development of climate change adaptation curricula. Instituting adaptation frameworks that can assist professionals to respond to climate change, yet be tailored to specific sectoral needs is crucial. Professionals working at the coalface of the climate change challenge need to build new skills and create innovative solutions in social and political contexts. Using case studies, this paper reflects on the experience of developing climate change curricula at multiple levels and the obstacles to implementation of the links between curriculum and practice. This includes reflections on the necessity of interlinking political, social and economic aspects together in delivery of such a course. The paper finds that a strictly content – based approach to curriculum development is inadequate. The context of an issue like climate change requires attention to the specific needs of the target audience, in addition to delivery of generic content, so as to achieve the industry uptake critical to ensuring social and political objectives are implemented on the ground. The paper concludes by examining the utility of such educational initiatives to build community resilience, forge networks between multiple sectors and contribute to achieving social/institutional, political and economic outcomes for adaptation to climate change.

Situating climate change adaptation within plural worlds: The role of Indigenous and local knowledge in Pentecost Island, Vanuatu
Publisher: SAGE Publications
Date: 19-01-2022
DOI: 10.1177/25148486211047739
Abstract: Scholars, practitioners, and decision-makers are increasingly recognising that Indigenous knowledge can play a significant role in facilitating adaptation to climate change. Yet, adaptation theorising and practises remain overwhelmingly situated within Euromodern ontologies, and there remains limited space, at present, for plural ontologies or alternative ways of being and knowing. In this paper, and using the Pacific as our case study, we present an argument for the inclusion of multiple ontologies within adaptation policymaking. Pacific adaptation policies and interventions frequently privilege Western scientific knowledge and focus on addressing in idual climate risks through technical fixes directed by foreign experts and funding agencies. They are also rooted in a policy architecture that is an artefact of colonisation in the region. Despite these obstacles, Pacific Islander responses to climate change are dynamic, and inclusive of the multiple and competing ontologies they work within, offering insights into how Euromodern and Pacific islander world views could coalesce to builds adaptive capacity and consolidate community resilience into the future. Highlights • Indigenous Knowledge plays a critical role in enabling resilience and facilitating climate change adaptation in some parts of Vanuatu • Ni-Vanuatu people employ dynamic responses to climate risks incorporating multiple knowledge systems and practises • Co-existence of different knowledge systems provide insights into factors that enable adaptive capacity and consolidate community resilience • Diverse worldviews, knowledge systems and practises with Pacific Island cultures highlights the importance of thinking about ontological pluralism within adaptation • Climate adaptation is principally founded on Western ontologies, but there is a need consider non-Western ontologies and epistemologies.

Social Contexts and Customary Fisheries: Marine Protected Areas and Indigenous Use, Australia
Publisher: Springer Science and Business Media LLC
Date: 21-08-2010
DOI: 10.1007/S00267-010-9545-8
Abstract: Worldwide, the implementation of marine protected areas (MPAs) offers opportunities for delivering fisheries and bio ersity management objectives. In Australia however, the primary function of an MPA is that of bio ersity conservation. Nonetheless, the management of Indigenous customary fisheries is one area where fisheries and bio ersity issues converge. This article examines the relationship between bio ersity and customary fisheries in an MPA context by investigation of the role and importance of Indigenous social contexts. Using case study ex les from Australia, I explore the role of Indigenous social contexts in two dimensions: (i) management of traditional fisheries and (ii) Indigenous contribution to fisheries within an MPA. Findings demonstrate two narratives concerning social contexts, one of recognition and the other concerning Indigenous involvement in management. I conclude with a survey of Indigenous management initiatives within MPAs. The article ends with a discussion of the utility of understanding social contexts in any marine management endeavour, specifically other social contexts within an MPA.

Adaptation to climate change in agriculture in Bangladesh: The role of formal institutions
Publisher: Elsevier BV
Date: 09-2017
DOI: 10.1016/J.JENVMAN.2017.05.092
Abstract: Bangladesh is very vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, and adaptation is emerging as a key policy response. Place based programs that build adaptive capacity are needed. This paper explores the effectiveness of formal institutions in climate change adaptation for agriculture from the perspectives of farmers and institutional communities of practice within two drought-prone areas in Bangladesh. Our findings show that formal institutions via their communities of practice play an important role in building place based capacity for mitigation and adaptation strategies in agriculture. Over-emphasis on technology, lack of acknowledgement of cultural factors and a failure of institutional communities of practice to mediate and create linkages with informal institutional communities of practice remain barriers. We argue that in order for formal institutions to play an ongoing and crucial role in building adaptive agriculture in Bangladesh, they must incorporate cultural mechanisms and build partnerships with more community based informal institutions.
