Each of our Professor Steve Chapman CBE three campuses – Joondalup and Mount Lawley in Vice-Chancellor Who was Edith Cowan? ECU recognises the achievements of a remarkable Western Australian woman, Edith Dircksey Cowan. Edith Cowan OBE believed that education was fundamental to tackling the social issues of the day, and that it was the key to growth, change and improvement. Her tireless work influenced the course of education in Australia, paving the way for many people to access education they could only previously dream of. In 1921, Edith Cowan was the first woman elected to an Australian Parliament. She was also instrumental in Western Australian women obtaining voting rights and expanding access to education, and many professions, to females. Edith Cowan’s portrait is in the Western Australian Art Gallery and also adorns the Australian $50 note. AN ANNIVERSARY OF ACHIEVEMENT IN EDUCATION 2021 marks 100 years since Edith Dircksey Cowan OBE was the first woman elected to an Australian Parliament.

  • Edith Cowan University Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Strategic Partnerships)
    Edith Cowan University Office of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Strategic Partnerships) Achieving Gender Equality at Edith Cowan University (ECU) – Discussion Paper The Science Academic Gender Equity (SAGE) Pilot of the Athena SWAN Charter in Australia What is Athena SWAN? Athena SWAN is now an international accreditation scheme which recognises a commitment to supporting and advancing women's careers in science, technology, engineering, maths and medicine (STEMM) in higher education and research.1 The term ‘Athena’ refers to a UK based ‘Athena Project’ that began in 1999 with the aim of addressing the loss of women in science, engineering and technology based disciplines as they progressed through academia. By establishing extensive associations throughout the UK higher education sector, the project developed good practice guidelines which improved female academic retention. The project closed in 2007 however its mission continues through initiatives including the Athena SWAN Charter. The acronym ‘SWAN’ stands for the Scientific Women’s Academic Network, an entity that collects real life views and experiences of women in academia across the UK. The Athena SWAN Charter combines these two elements in advancing the representation of women in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM). Having commenced in the UK, the initiative has an extensive history there of advancing the careers of women in higher education and research sectors since it was established in 2005, and the scheme has been highly successful in improving the promotion and retention of women within STEMM. With such success, the Pilot has now been launched in Australia by the Science Academic Gender Equity (SAGE) initiative which addresses gender equality in the STEMM sector.

Not all students are aware of the jobs they are qualified for, or the post-graduate opportunities that may be available to them. In an attempt to engage with undergraduate students and give them a glimpse into life after graduation, we ran a pilot Cancer Research Summer Project (CRSP). In this pilot program we took four high-achieving second-year biomedical science students through a three-week research project, which exposed them to a real-life laboratory experience, and also provided them with additional skills training in areas such as scientific journal article writing and database mining. Students were given a fully immersive laboratory experience, receiving the type of instruction and supervision they could expect in either post-graduate study or out in the workforce, with some autonomy, and successes and failures driven by their own hands.

Rasch-generated linear scales were created to measure reading comprehension (based on 28 items with 300 students) and attitude and behaviour to learning EFL (based on 24 items with 300 students). The data for both scales had a good fit to a Rasch measurement model, good separation of measures compared to the errors, good targeting, and the response categories were answered consistently and logically, so that valid inferences could be drawn.

  • Images of Women in Western Australian Politics: the Suffragist, Edith Cowan and Carmen Lawrence
    Images of Women in Western Australian Politics: The Suffragist, Edith Cowan and Carmen Lawrence Dr. Joan Eveline Dept of Organisational and Labour Studies University ofWestern Australia and Dr Michael Booth Institute for Science and Technology Policy Murdoch University Paper delivered to Women's Worlds 99: 7th International Congress of Women's Research, Tromso, Norway, June 22, 1999 2 Images of Women in Western Australian Politics: The Suffragist, Edith Cowan and Carmen Lawrence Introduction 'Politics', claimed Carmen Lawrence in March, 1995, 'is a world in which you can easilybecome a caricature of yourself." In her own case, Lawrence's words were to prove prophetic. During the rest of 1995, only French nuclear testing and Bosnia rated more attention from the Australian press than the problems of this erstwhile state Premier and federal politician, and she was talkback radio's most popular topic for the year.' Although Carmen Lawrence does not specify gender as a significant aspect of the 'caricature effect', we do. Our paper explores the gender dimension in the 'public' construction and consumption of political figures, using the evidence ofpress and parliamentarycomment. Our focus is the portrayal of women in West Australian politics. In 1999, the state of Western Australia is celebrating the centenary of women's suffrage, and this paper is in part a response to those celebrations. Western Australia was second only to South Australia in granting women the vote, at a time when Australia and New Zealand were seen as leading the world in responding to demands for female suffrage. Out of a century of women's struggles we compare three figures, each of whose political participation has been represented as a breakthrough for women.

  • Women in Parliament
    MAKING A DIFFERENCE—A FRONTIER OF FIRSTS WOMEN IN THE WESTERN AUSTRALIAN PARLIAMENT 1921–2012 David Black and Harry Phillips Parliamentary History Project Parliament of Western Australia 2012 EDITH DIRCKSEY COWAN MLA West Perth 12 March 1921–22 March 1924 (Nat). Contested West Perth 1924, 1927 (for WEL). First woman elected to an Australian Parliament. In March 1921 Edith Cowan had the distinction of being the first woman to be elected to an Australian Parliament and only the second woman in the British Empire to sit in Parliament. Her surprise victory at the age of 59, by only 46 votes after the distribution of preferences, in the seat of West Perth was accomplished after an outstanding record as a pioneer of women’s involvement in public life. Edith Cowan regarded the right of women to vote as a ‘natural right’, and a self-evident extension to this was the right to sit in Parliament. During her one term in the Legislative Assembly she was responsible for achieving the rare passage of two important private member’s Bills: one measure specified that a person should not be disqualified ‘by sex or marriage’ from exercising any public function, from practising law or from entering any other profession; while the other gave equal inheritance rights to mothers when a child died intestate and without issue. A scholarly biography of Edith Cowan (1861–1932) by her grandson Peter Cowan, entitled A Unique Position,1 was published in 1978. The work depicted that she had a troubled childhood after being born at Glengarry near Geraldton on 2 August 1861.
