Abstract: Drawing on long-term ethnographies with children, the authors (anthropologists from the “Global South”) problematize the disconnect between homogenising discourses around “childhood”, and the localised, socio-culturally rich experiences of indigenous children. Through an anthropological lens in dialogue with post-colonial theory they explore vernacular conceptualisations and practices around childhood in three indigenous communities –two in Argentina, one in Indonesia. In doing so, they place these childhoods within local, regional and global forces, highlight contexts of inequality, and explore children’s active positionality in such contexts.

Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to report on the implications of new and unfamiliar roles for educators, students and employers generated by experiential learning (EL) activities. It considers how a series of tensions and instabilities in traditional role identities for each group arise from an expanded definition of university learning environments. The paper thus uses the concept of liminality, or “in-between-ness”, to explore processes of role transition via EL. This theme emerged from analysis of qualitative data gathered via focus groups and interviews with academic unit convenors, workplace supervisors and students across a range of disciplines. Because none of the cohorts were fully supported in or securely ascribed to these new roles, the unsettled nature of EL is argued to be both a key benefit and challenge to educators. This paper was based on a small-scale study of a specific EL programme. As such, it could be complemented by longitudinal and broader-scale research across different sites and national contexts, as well as with cohorts that the authors do not canvas here: university administrators, policy advisors and employers more broadly. The paper reflects on how higher education institutions can support participants in these new educational settings, as well as raising the question of whether new roles are still emerging from this process. The paper canvasses impacts of EL on in idual participants as well as the sector itself. The authors believe that understanding EL activities through the lens of liminality provides a new approach to its impact at in idual, institutional and social levels.

Abstract: This article delves into the controversies of student volunteers working around children in developing world contexts, by proposing a model where the organisations that send and those that receive volunteers can collaborate to ensure volunteers’ purposeful involvement. The article is based on the results of a collaborative initiative between an Australian university and its international non-governmental partner organisations who receive student volunteers through a university experiential learning programme. The authors of this article contest the universalisation of the concept of childhood, offer a critique of detrimental forms of international volunteering and then discuss a co-creation process between the university and its international non-governmental organisation partners that resulted in a series of training resources intended to shed light on three important issues for volunteers to consider: the complexity of defining who is a child and how a child should live, the challenges of child protection and the need to enable children’s empowerment. The resources generated during the co-creation process were turned into freely available online learning modules to enhance the value volunteers can add to the improvement of children’s lives around the world, and to their own communities upon return.

Abstract: Registered nurses working at a teaching hospital in Kuwait were surveyed to assess the psychosocial variables associated with their intention to comply with glove-wearing recommendations. Perceived consequences and normative beliefs, as well as sex and years of nursing experience, significantly influenced their behavioral intentions, suggesting that improvements in intention to comply are more likely to come from practical demonstrations that show nurses the potential outcomes of both using and not using gloves.
