Challenging Functional Decline As a Driver of Care for Hospitalised Older Adults: a Discursive Ethnography
Challenging Functional Decline as a driver of care for hospitalised older adults: A discursive ethnography Jeannine Therese Moreau A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Sydney Nursing School The University of Sydney November 2017 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis would only be thoughts on an airwave if not for the gracious and generous participants who came forward both enthusiastically and cautiously to consent to participate in the study. I deeply appreciate their enduring commitment to working with me day after day as I followed one patient after another. Each participant contributed for the most part with enthusiasm and a generous sense of curiosity. My two Supervisors Dr Trudy Rudge and Dr Sandra West were great, two amazing minds. Thank you both for your generosity of spirit as you were wonderfully supportive, shared ideas, albeit try as hard as I could, no sharing of “answers”. You stretched my thinking when I thought the elasticity was over but presto the emergence of insights and new ways of thinking, more rewriting and rewriting, albeit so very worthwhile. Thank you to colleagues who generously shared their PhD experiences, ideas, thinking and philosophical perspectives never mind a few rowdy discussions; thank you Olga, Denise and Rochelle in particular! Anne you have been and continue to be an inspiration as you engaged with me in some rather intriguing aha moments and terrifying although rewarding insights always with a side of laughter. Clare, you lived up to your name as someone who lit up my thinking with our great conversations as we reached for clarity in our wonderings about life, always refreshing. -

A Life of Thinking the Andersonian Tradition in Australian Philosophy a Chronological Bibliography
own. One of these, of the University Archive collections of Anderson material (2006) owes to the unstinting co-operation of of Archives staff: Julia Mant, Nyree Morrison, Tim Robinson and Anne Picot. I have further added material from other sources: bibliographical A Life of Thinking notes (most especially, James Franklin’s 2003 Corrupting the The Andersonian Tradition in Australian Philosophy Youth), internet searches, and compilations of Andersonian material such as may be found in Heraclitus, the pre-Heraclitus a chronological bibliography Libertarian Broadsheet, the post-Heraclitus Sydney Realist, and Mark Weblin’s JA and The Northern Line. The attempt to chronologically line up Anderson’s own work against the work of James Packer others showing some greater or lesser interest in it, seems to me a necessary move to contextualise not only Anderson himself, but Australian philosophy and politics in the twentieth century and beyond—and perhaps, more broadly still, a realist tradition that Australia now exports to the world. Introductory Note What are the origins and substance of this “realist tradition”? Perhaps the best summary of it is to be found in Anderson’s own The first comprehensive Anderson bibliography was the one reading, currently represented in the books in Anderson’s library constructed for Studies in Empirical Philosophy (1962). It listed as bequeathed to the University of Sydney. I supply an edited but Anderson’s published philsophical work and a fair representation unabridged version of the list of these books that appears on the of his published social criticism. In 1984 Geraldine Suter published John Anderson SETIS website, to follow the bibliography proper. -

EDUCATION GUIDE 2020 Studying at Law School Advice on how to stay on top of your academics during your law degree. Degree Planning A comprehensive overview of the different law degree progressions to help you plan ahead. Study and Professional Experiences Discover the opportunities offered at USYD Law from exchange to international volunteering. Acknowledgments We acknowledge the traditional Aboriginal owners of the land that the University of Sydney is built upon, the Gadigal People of the Eora Nation. We acknowledge that this was and always will be Aboriginal Land and are proud to be on the lands of one of the oldest surviving cultures in existence. We respect the knowledge that traditional elders and Aboriginal people hold and pass on from generation to generation, and acknowledge the continuous fight for constitutional reform and treaty recognition to this day. We regret that white supremacy has been used to justify Indigenous dispossession, colonial rule and violence in the past, in particular, a legal and political system that still to this date doesn’t provide Aboriginal people with justice. Many thanks to everyone who made the production and publication of the 2020 Sydney University Law Society Education Guide possible. In particular, we would like to thank Rita Shackel (Associate Dean of Education), the Sydney Law School and the University of Sydney Union for their continued support of SULS and its publications.

An Open Letter to the Australian Public from the Undersigned Staff of the University of Sydney
An open letter to the Australian public from the undersigned staff of the University of Sydney. We write this letter motivated by a sense of grave concern over circumstances at Nauru, Manus Island and other Australian mandatory detention centres for refugees. As members of an academic institution that is situated at the forefront of Australian social and cultural life, we feel it is our duty to express this concern, hoping that—together with similar efforts by others—it will serve as a catalyst for positive action and change. Allegations of torture and more generally mistreatment of refugees by Department of Immigration and Border Protection employees and contractors have been and continue to be made public over the last several years. Initially, perhaps, such allegations were dismissed by Australian citizens, in disbelief that such repugnant acts could be committed by a society that perceives itself to be just and humane. The mounting evidence, however, of torture and abuse—including testimonies given by refugees themselves, as well as evidence submitted by former employees and contractors who worked in detention centres—is overwhelming. We find it abhorrent that the Australian Government has passed a law, the Australian Border Force Act 2015 that came into effect on July 1st, threatening its citizens with prosecution and up to two years imprisonment for publicly disclosing details relating to these conditions. The context that the Act deals with—circumstances in immigration detention centres—has nothing whatsoever to do with national security. We are deeply distressed at the erosion of our society’s democratic ethos and of its core freedoms that such legislation represents.
