Maggie Brady's preface explains why the journal's editorial board chose to produce a commemorative edition in Sally's honour. This introduction supplements the preface by thanking those who have played a key role in compiling this 'Sally White' edition. On behalf of the editorial board I therefore thank the joint volume editors, Luise Hercus and Grace Koch, for their fine work in drawing together a varied set of articles reflecting on Sally White's life, career in anthropology and her special interests in Abo­ riginal studies. Maggie Brady deserves special mention for her excellent preface in addition to her article, and also help with identifying people in photographs. Luise Her­ cus has once again collected an informative set of book reviews in her capacity as reviews editor. Dick Barwick has again done a superb job with our front cover as has Tikka Wilson with the typesetting and production management. The task of copy edit­ ing was greatly eased by Bernadette Hince, who took on this duty at short notice and worked expeditiously to complete it. 1 am personally grateful to Peter Read, who chairs the editorial board, for giving the production team much appreciated leadership and together we thank his fellow board members for their continuing support and advice. Finally, all the authors of articles, book reviews and notes deserve much of the credit for making this volume a worthy tribute to Sally White. Each of them has helped ensure that this volume not only commemorates her life and work but will be an important resource for everyone interested in Aboriginal studies. In conclusion, a sad omission from this volume is the article Isabel McBryde is preparing on Sally White's work in South Australia. Because of various unforeseen cir­ cumstances the article was not ready for this volume at the time of going to press. We are therefore holding it over for a later volume. Ian Howie-Willis Managing Editor Preface This edition of Aboriginal History is dedicated to Isobei White (whom we all knew as Sally White), who died in August 1998 after a long and interesting life. We shall miss her humour and kindness as well as her steady contributions to Aboriginal studies over many years. Sally was born in 1912 in Harrow, now a suburb of London. Like many members of her family she went to King Edward's High School, and between 1930 and 1933 she studied economics at Girton College, Cambridge. In her second year there, she was invited to attend Maynard Keynes' lectures, along with a select group. Her family were Labour party voters, and Sally herself was a member of the Communist Party in the 1930s. She had a scholarship to study for a master's degree in Toronto; this was in 1934 at the height of the depression in Canada. In fact, as she confessed later, she spent most of her time there engaged in political activity, and editing the Young Worker, a commu­ nist newspaper. She left to return to the UK when her father was taken ill. Back in the UK she worked as a factory inspector for the Home Office. She met Michael White and they were married at Hampstead registry office in 1938. After the prolonged difficulties of the war years in the UK, Sally and Michael emigrated to the United States in 1947 with their two sons Nicholas and Jonathan. Their third child, Charlotte, was born in Austen, Texas, where the family spent five of the six years to 1953. Unfortunately because of pre-war left wing political involvements, it proved necessary for the family to leave the US abruptly in 1953. Michael obtained a job at CSIRO in Canberra with the assistance of Dr (later Sir) Otto Frankel. As the McCarthy era abated, the family returned to the US, to Missouri, but the attractions of Australia held sway, and Mel­ bourne became their home from 1958 to 1977. The brief residence in Missouri was important in that, after a decade of commit­ ment to her family, Sally returned to academic pursuits. Relinquishing the economic field, she took some undergraduate courses in anthropology ('My heart wasn't in eco­ nomics,' she said). It was here that Sally first read the work of Mrs Daisy Bates — it was the only Australian book in the library. This was the beginning of a lifelong fascination with Daisy Bates.

    ‘Can’t be what you can’t see’: The Transition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Students into higher education Literature Review 2014 Fremantle Broome Sydney Cover Artwork: ‘Seeing Country’ by Yangkana Laurel Yangkana Laurel is a Walmajarri artist and educator from the Kadjina Community in the Kimberley region of Western Australia on the edge of the Great Sandy Desert - part of Millijidee Station. Along with her sisters, brothers and mothers, Yangkana advocated to set up the remote Wulungarra Community School. Yangkana’s commitment to education in this small community is replicated across the many universities we visited and encapsulated in the innovative models that support more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students to transition to higher education. ‘Can’t be what you can’t see’: The Transition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Students into higher education Literature Review 2014 The University of Notre Dame Australia (UNDA) Southern Cross University (SCU) Batchelor Institute of Indigenous Tertiary Education (BIITE) Project Leaders: Professor Lyn Henderson-Yates (UNDA), Professor Patrick Dodson (UNDA), Professor Marguerite Maher (UNDA), Project Management: Bruce Gorring (UNDA), Sue Thomas (UNDA) Project Team Members: Stephen Kinnane (UNDA), Dr Judith Wilks (SCU), Katie Wilson (SCU), Terri Hughes (BIITE), Sue Thomas (UNDA), Professor Neil Drew (UNDA), Dr Keith McNaught (UNDA), Dr Kevin Watson (UNDA) Report Authors: Dr Judith Wilks (SCU), Katie Wilson (SCU) “Can’t be what you can’t see”: The Transition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students into higher education: Literature Review: 20/12/13 OLT ID SI11-2138 (UNDA; SCU; BIITE) Support for the production of this report/publication has been provided by the Australian Government Office for Learning and Teaching.

  • Store Nutrition Report and Market Basket Survey.Pdf
    Store Nutrition Report and Market Basket Survey April 2014 Nganampa Health Council Erin McLean, Kate Annat and Prof Amanda Lee April 2014 Executive Summary The report provides Market Basket pricing and data analysis of Mai Wiru compliance with standardised food and nutrition checklists from stores on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands in South Australia collected in April 2014. The report focuses on the Mai Wiru group stores (Pipalyatjara, Kanpi, Amata, Fregon and Pukatja). Pricing data was also collected from Mimili (Outback Stores), Indulkana (independent) and Coles and IGA Foodlands supermarkets in Alice Springs. The purpose of this report is to provide key recommendations for Mai Wiru store councils to aid decision-making regarding food and nutrition issues. Data was collected in-store from 7-11 April 2014. Information was collected on the price, availability and promotion of foods, as well as Mai Wiru store achievement of the Remote Indigenous Stores and Takeaways (RIST) checklist benchmarks and implementation of nutrition recommendations from the previous Market Basket report (September, 2013). Nutrition promotion activities were also performed in all the Mai Wiru stores, including one pot cooking demonstrations and installation of sugar-in-food displays and posters. Results show that, in April 2014, Mai Wiru stores: • Are clean, functional and well stocked; • Provide a wide range of healthy foods and beverages; and • Price healthy foods at a competitive rate for remote areas. In April 2014 the average price of the Market Basket in the Mai Wiru stores was $734 dollars and had increased only 0.3% since September 2014. In comparison to the other stores monitored during the same period the Mai Wiru store prices were 4.3% less than Mimili, 1.0% more than Indulkana, only 13.0% more than Alice Springs IGA Foodlands and 34.4% more than Coles.

  • A Collaborative History of Social Innovation in South Australia
    Hawke Research Institute for Sustainable Societies University of South Australia St Bernards Road Magill South Australia 5072 Australia www.unisa.edu.au/hawkeinstitute © Rob Manwaring and University of South Australia 2008 A COLLABORATIVE HISTORY OF SOCIAL INNOVATION IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA Rob Manwaring∗ Abstract In this paper I outline a collaborative history of social innovation in South Australia, a state that has a striking record of social innovation. What makes this history so intriguing is that on the face of it, South Australia would seem an unlikely location for such experimentation. This paper outlines the main periods of innovation. Appended to it is the first attempt to collate all these social innovations in one document. This paper is unique in that its account of the history of social innovation has been derived after public consultation in South Australia, and is a key output from Geoff Mulgan’s role as an Adelaide Thinker in Residence.1 The paper analyses why, at times, South Australia appears to have punched above its weight as a leader in social innovation. Drawing on Giddens’ ‘structuration’ model, the paper uses South Australian history as a case study to determine how far structure and/or agency can explain the main periods of social innovation. Introduction South Australia has a great and rich (albeit uneven) history of social innovation, and has at times punched above its weight. What makes this history so intriguing is that on the face of it, South Australia is quite an unlikely place for such innovation. South Australia is a relatively new entity; it has a relatively small but highly urbanised population, and is geographically isolated from other Australian urban centres and other developed nations.

B. – The Netherlands /414 The Arunta To our Master SIR JAMES FRAZER This record of A Stone Age People is offered in GRATITUDE AND ADMIRATION /414 page vii PREFACE AUSTRALIA is the present home and refuge of creatures, often crude and quaint, that have elsewhere passed away and given place to higher forms. This applies equally to the aboriginal as to the platypus and kangaroo. Just has the platypus laying its eggs and feebly suckling its young, reveal a mammals in the making,so does the Aboriginal show us, at least in a broad outline,what early man must have been like before he learned to read and write, domesticate animals, cultivate crops and use a metal tools. It has been possible to study in Australia human being that still remain on the culture level of men of stone age. The aim of this work is to give as complete and account as possible, based upon years of close study, of the organisation, customs, beliefs and general culture of a people that affords as much insight as we are now ever likely to gain into the manner of life of men and women who have long since disappeared in other part of the world and are now know to us only through their stone implements, with, rock drawings and more or less crude carvings, were the only imperishable records of their culture that they could leave behind them.
