ItemThe Invisible Collectors(Melbourne University Press, 2024-06-28)From the earliest days of zoological collecting in Australia, it was Aboriginal people who worked as collectors, not the scientists who gained the rewards. Sometimes these arrangements were relatively benevolent, at other times the collectors were manipulated and abused. Regardless of the working conditions, almost without exception, Aboriginal collectors were not credited for their work.

ItemStudents as Multilingual Influencers: Towards Linguistically Diverse Higher Education in Anglophone Contexts(Springer, 2024-05-25)This chapter draws on a recent ‘students as partners’ project with four multilingual undergraduate students as co-researchers. It aimed to explore how uni- versity students from a range of disciplines engage with everyday lived linguistic and cultural diversity in their educational and social communities. The project was conducted at a multi-campus university in Victoria, Australia, and engaged peer-facilitated focus groups with academic staff and students. Current research in this area has focused on academic staff and their teaching, and discourse analytic work on university policy documents. However, the perspectives of multilingual univer- sity students as grassroots policy actors remain under-represented and warrant fur- ther exploration, as students engage with and have direct experience of the complexities and impact of linguistically inclusive pedagogy, policy and practice in English-dominant universities. Our project sought to address this gap by fore- grounding student voice to generate new insights into how multilingual students engage with linguistic diversity in their educational and social contexts, and to iden- tify the discourses that underpin the complexities of, and tensions and power imbal- ances between, English-dominant institutional framing and students’ multilingual realities. The chapter concludes with student-initiated suggestions as to how diver- sity of languages, cultures and knowledges could be pedagogically mobilised for the benefit of all learners.

ItemNo Preview AvailableTeaching Italian Through Podcasting: Pedagogical Rationale, Implementation, and Student Evaluation of the Podcast Project Dagli Inviati Sul Campus(Georgetown University Press, 2024-05)This contribution discusses the podcast project Dagli inviati sul campus, developed at the University of Melbourne (Australia), aimed at incorporating experiential and project-based learning (PBL) (Kolb, 2015; Lee, 2015; Park & Hiver, 2017; Stoller, 2006) into an intermediate-level Italian language subject. After presenting the project, we discuss its aims and theoretical foundations, offer a detailed description of its mechanics (inclusion in the subject, internal organization, role of the teacher, assessment methods), and present an overview of the podcasts produced by students. Finally, we discuss some empirical data on students’ evaluation of the activity, in an effort to encourage future implementations of of the project in Italian and in other languages across different delivery modes and university contexts. This chapter also includes an overview of subsequent COVID-19 pandemic-related changes applied to the project, due to the online learning and teaching delivery mode, and some initial findings on its online application.
