Transcending Borders: Imagined/Real and Primitive/Civilised Communities in the Novels of E.L. Grant Watson

Questions of myth, landscape and self constituting a sense of place have played a significant role in much literature written in and about Australia and continue to do so; from the folkloric works of Henry Lawson and “Banjo” Patterson in the 1890’s to the novels of Katharine Prichard, Patrick White and Tim Winton, for example. Perhaps surprisingly, the novels of English Biologist, amateur anthropologist and psychologist, metaphysician and colonialist E.L. Grant Watson (1885-1970) belong to this tradition

within the hollow crown : Performing Kingship in Richard II and Henry IV Part One

This paper examines the parallels and connections between Richard II and Prince Hal in Shakespeare’sRichard II and 1 Henry IV and what the results would be if the characters were cross-cast, or played by the same actor onstage, in performance. Criticism on the plays has often addressed the parallels between the two characters, but as of yet no one has examined ways to show this in performance. This paper acts as a form of critical introduction for a proposed combined performance text of both Richard II and 1 Henry IV, arguing that the textual parallels between the two characters – specifically, their interactions with father figures, their understandings of kingship, and their divided performances of their roles – are highlighted in performance

Reading Strategies of Average and Weak ESL Readers a Case Study

This study approaches reading from the psycholinguistic standpoint. Miscue analysis is used to investigate the reading strategies of a group of average and weak ESL readers from Sekolah Menengah Bangsar, Kuala Lumpur. The readers' miscues were analyzed in accordance with Yetta Goodman and Burke's Reading Miscue Inventory (1972). The research addresses itself to the question of how these readers utilized the language cues - graphophonic, syntactic and semantic - to help them make sense of the text. The findings shows that both groups of readers depended extensively on graphophonic cues and were less efficient in using syntactic and semantic cues. Qualitative analysis of the miscues show that when the readers did resort to the syntactic and semantic cues, the average readers produced better quality miscues. The applicability of miscue analysis as a research tool is indicated in the suggestions for further research. The pedagogical implications of the findings underscore the practical use of miscue analysis in the classroom

Identifying the Next Conflict Wildlife Species

The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) has recognized that wildlife conflict is of increasing concern among Floridians. Calls to the FWC regarding questions and apprehension of a multitude of species has increased dramatically over the state in the past decade; so much so that the agency has dedicated staff in each regional office to triage these issues. Historically, the agency had collected data reflecting the amount of complaints regarding species such as alligators and bears; complaints on other species received limited documentation, until recently. In April 2015, the agency implemented a new tracking system called the Wildlife Incident Management System (WIMS). We are now better able to understand conflict wildlife issues both geographically and species-specific trends. Through data analysis, FWC has identified coyotes as an emerging conflict wildlife species. This presentation will cover the trends with conflict wildlife, specifically coyotes that FWC has been documenting since implementing WIMS. Because of Florida’s growing resident and visiting population and the variety of wildlife species that thrive in the state, trends from Florida could reflect future conflict issues in other southeastern states
