Item Metadata only Recognising the need for specific cultural awareness education for future design professionals(University of Sydney, Department of Architecture, Planning and Allied Arts, 2000) Walliss, J.; Grant, E.Item Metadata only South Australian youth identities and political beliefs: between colonial heritage and globalisation(Universite Dauphine, Paris, 2002) Bulbeck, M.Item Open Access Duplex Jail(Black Knight Media Pty Ltd, 2005) Grant, E.The recently commissioned, Ross Independent Living Units at Mobilong Prison on the outskirts of Murray Bridge presents new innovations in Australian prison architecture. For the first time, medium security prisoners will be housed in self-contained duplex accommodation, a stark contrast to traditional cellblocks used under typical medium security regimes.Item Open Access Mobilong Independent Living Units: New Innovations in Australian Prison Architecture(American Correctional Association, 2006) Grant, E.; Centre for Australian Indigenous Research and StudiesIn 2004, when the Department for Correctional Services recognized the need to expand the Mobilong prison facility, it decided to undertake radical and innovative changes to set a new standard for correctional facilities. The resulting correctional facility development contains 10 duplex housing units that have 5 bedrooms arranged around a common living space that includes a kitchen, bathroom, and securable veranda area. Five inmates live in each duplex to allow for group voting processes. Inmates living in the duplexes assume responsibility for meal preparation, ordering supplies, laundry, and cleaning. The development uses efficient sustainable environmental development solutions and passive environmental principles, such as vertical windows to allow for a connection to the external environment and solar hot water systems. The buildings, which are oriented along the east-west axis for solar radiation, are arranged around a court area that has a garden and public telephones. The facility meets the safe cell design recommendations of the Victorian Building Design Review Project and includes touches such as recessed lighting, sloped knobs and water taps, and rounded edges. Safety features include the use of steel sheeting and steel-reinforced concrete block work and vertical windows with openings of approximately 5 inches to preclude a window escape. The duplex design of the Mobilong Prison represents a new alternative to the traditional cell block facilities and demonstrates the capacity to create humane and secure correctional environments. Photographs, endnotesItem Open Access The 'Blackster' solution(Black Knight Media Pty Ltd, 2006) Grant, E.In December 2005, stage one of the Lakeview Visitors Centre at Port Augusta opened to accommodate transient Aboriginal peoples. It is located six kilometres from the city centre of Port Augusta adjacent to Davenport Community, a self-governing Aboriginal community outside the Port Augusta City Council jurisdiction. It is an interesting and controversial project; (commonly dubbed Blackster after the nearby Baxter Detention Centre), which demonstrates a design and planning response for the Aboriginal transient population as the result of the implementation of highly debated legislation. This paper discusses the Visitors’ Centre as a response to Aboriginal transient populations and alcohol consumption, looking at the issues of appropriateness of the model to the user group.Item Metadata only Sharing the Australian Language Space: Reforms for Linguistic Pluralism-Towards the Stabilisation of Indigenous Languages(Australian Public Intellectual Network, 2006) Rigney, L.; Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Academic); Worby, G.; Rigney, L.; Centre for Australian Indigenous Research and Studies; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education: Wilto YerloItem Metadata only Indigenist research and Aboriginal Australia(Ashgate Publishing Limited, 2006) Rigney, L.; Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Academic); Kunnie, J.; Goduka, N.; Centre for Australian Indigenous Research and Studies; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education: Wilto YerloItem Metadata only Where the Salt and Fresh Water Meet: Reconciliation and Change in Education(Australian Public Intellectual Network, 2006) Worby, G.; Rigney, L.; Tur, S.; Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Academic); Worby, G.; Rigney, L.; Centre for Australian Indigenous Research and Studies; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education: Wilto YerloItem Metadata only Forty years of Aboriginal housing, public and community housing in South Australia from 1967 to 2007(Aboriginal Legal Rights Movement Inc, 2007) Grant, E.; Memmott, P.; Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Academic); Centre for Australian Indigenous Research and Studies; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education: Wilto YerloItem Metadata only The journey so far: Aboriginal housing in South Australia(Black Knight Media Pty Ltd, 2007) Grant, E.; Memmott, P.; Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Academic); Centre for Australian Indigenous Research and StudiesItem Metadata only Indigenous research : Aboriginal knowledge creation(Educational Media Unit, Batchelor College, 2008) Arbon, V.Item Metadata only Prison environments and the needs of Australian Aboriginal prisoners: a South Australian case study(University of New South Wales Indigenous Law Centre, 2008) Grant, E.; Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Academic); Centre for Australian Indigenous Research and Studies; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education: Wilto YerloItem Open Access The case for single cells and alternative ways of viewing custodial accommodation for Australian Aboriginal peoples(School of Law, Flinders University of South Australia, 2008) Grant, E.; Memmott, P.; School of Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Urban DesignUntil recently there was an assumption that Australian Aboriginal prisoners should be accommodated in dual occupancy or dormitory accommodation while in custody to best meet cultural needs, primarily to prevent social isolation. This historical assumption is reflected in the national guidelines for prison accommodation, various coronial and royal commission recommendations for both police and prison accommodation and evolved from the problem solving approaches to the custodial arrangements of Australian Aboriginal peoples instituted by custodial agencies and stakeholder consultations with Aboriginal groups. This paper presents the findings from the first empirical study of the needs and preferences of Australian Aboriginal prisoners in custody suggesting that certain types of shared and dormitory accommodation present a myriad of complex implications for Aboriginal prisoners. It suggests shared or dormitory accommodation may not be the most favourable or preferred model for accommodating Aboriginal prisoners and may be a simulacrum in meeting the needs of Aboriginal prisoners for living as a social group. The paper presents new understandings and a number of socio-cultural options for viewing custodial accommodation which have significance to prisoner outcomes at various end-points in the criminal justice system.Item Metadata only Conflict-handling mechanisms in Australian reconciliation(Routledge, 2008) Rigney, L.; Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Academic); Johnston, E.; Rigney, D.; Hinton, M.; Centre for Australian Indigenous Research and Studies; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education: Wilto YerloItem Metadata only Knowing from where?(Australian Scholarly Publishing, 2008) Arbon, V.; Gunstone, A.Item Open Access Churchill Fellowship 2008: To investigate correctional facilities for Indigenous prisoners New Zealand, Canada & Denmark(The Winston Churchill Memorial Trust, 2009) Grant, E.; Churchill Fellowship; Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor and Vice-President (Academic); Centre for Australian Indigenous Research and Studies; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education: Wilto YerloThe design of environments for Australian Aboriginal offenders has always been problematic. The needs and concerns of Aboriginal prisons have been little understood and prison environments have often not served the needs of prisoners resulting in incidences of deaths in custody, self-harming and resistance behaviours. Australian Aboriginal prison populations continue to grow and the importance of providing custodial environments to meet the varying and diverse needs of these groups of prisoners is important. Within the fellowship I wished to view Indigenous custodial facilities across a number of countries to assess whether there were common needs and preferences among Indigenous prisoner populations and find innovation in prison design which could be applied to the Australian context. This report documents that Indigenous prisoners in other countries have common concerns shared by many Australian Aboriginal prisoners. The prison location, the ability to live within a social group, staying in contact with family and community were all common concerns. The normalisation of prison environments appears to have a major effect on the behaviour of prisoners within prisons. Theoretically it has been shown that normalising prison environments results in fewer instances of resistance behaviours (e.g. escapes, threatening behaviours, riots, suicides and self-harming behaviours) among prisoners. The level of critical incidences reported in Danish prisons was low. Within the design of prisons a variety of techniques were used to normalise prison environments successfully. These are underpinned by a legislative framework which ensures a minimum standard of prison accommodation. The design of different types of Indigenous units has been pioneered in New Zealand and Canada successfully. These have involved specific design processes which allow Indigenous communities to partner with correctional agencies to achieve mutual aims and all have involved the incorporation of cultural knowledge into the design or later enculturation of the prison environment. There were some accompanying issues in the design of Indigenous specific facilities. Most had a minimum security classification excluding numbers of Indigenous prisoners and the issues of housing certain groups of prisoners was proving problematic at some sites. There is much that can learnt from these examples for application to the Australian context.Item Metadata only Living and working with a doctorate as an Aboriginal person in Australia(ACER Press, 2009) Arbon, V.; Denholm, C.; Evans, T.; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education: Wilto YerloItem Metadata only In the 'dragon's den': challenging the forces of colonialism(Journal of Australian Indigenous Issues, 2009) Arbon, V.Declining Indigenous student enrolments and outcomes, despite complex strategies to both attract students and limit attrition within the academy, are evident. Advocated Indigenous changes, at many levels, have not powerfully impacted the 'dragon's den'. Indigenous knowledge remains on the periphery, as an add-on to agendas not of Aboriginal making, limited in the content, processes, and practices of universities. Critical questions have to be asked about whether being captured by the economic purpose of education or, far worse, the blinding 'assimilative intent' of colonialism is acceptable. The author states that Aboriginal people know what they want, what is required and, with discussion among themselves, can succeed in achieving required outcomes for today's world. This paper argues that speaking about knowledges, what is needed to be known, how it is known, and what Aboriginal people do, provides the possibility to affirm and shift focus within the 'dragon's-den'.Item Metadata only Speaking from the Heart: Stories of Life, Family and Country(Pacific Affairs Univ British Columbia, 2010) Grant, E.Item Metadata only Sustained nurse home visiting with families of Aboriginal children(Cambridge University Press, 2010) Arney, F.; Bowering, K.; Chong, A.; Healy, V.; Volkmer, R.; Arney, F.; Scott, D.; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education: Wilto Yerlo
