    The IAEA's Organizational Culture: Myths and Realities
    FINDLAY, T (RJISSF, 2016)
    in his classic work Organizational Culture and Leadership, Edgar Schein, the guru of organizational culture studies, identifies three levels of culture, “from the very tangible overt manifestations that one can see and feel to the deeply embedded, unconscious, basic assumptions.”1 He designates these as artifacts, espoused values, and underlying assumptions. Artifacts are an organization’s visible structure, processes, and symbols. Espoused values are those that an organization publicly proclaims. Underlying assumptions are those unlikely to be articulated publicly, but taken for granted as ‘the way we do things around here.

    Wayfinding: A Photoethnography of Indigenous Migration
    Kikon, D ; Karlsson, B ( 2016-11-01)
    This exhibition is concerned with the lives and lifeworlds of indigenous migrants who have travelled from the faraway Northeastern frontier to the expanding cities of South India.

    Acting on gender-based violence must be a priority for the next federal government
    Fileborn, B (The Conversation, 2019)
    Gender-based violence (GBV) seems recently to have been almost constantly on the public radar. The global #MeToo movement prompted daily reporting on sexual violence (albeit with a focus often limited to glamorous Hollywood celebrities). In Australia, high-profile cases such as that of Saxon Mullins sparked renewed debate on sexual consent and led to a New South Wales government inquiry. The prominence afforded to GBV in recent public debate may give the impression that progress is being made – that it’s “on the agenda” and our institutional, social and cultural responses to this violence are improving. To a certain extent, this is true.

    Singing the Same Tune? Scott Morrison and Australia’s Pacific Family
    McDougall, D ( 2019)
    The Christian faith of Australia’s prime minister powerfully connects him to the Solomon Islands, but the “family” relationship between the two countries will be strained unless his government changes immigration policy and takes action on the climate crisis.

    Reviving the spirit of vernacular languages in Solomon Islands
    McDougall, D ( 2019)
    ‘Understanding our languages: Solomon Islands’, held in the capital Honiara on 19-23 August 2019, gathered some 100 people speaking 44 Solomon Islands languages. We called it a ‘workshop’ and the Christian God was invoked only in opening prayers, songs, and the blessing of meals. Yet, to me, it felt more like one of the religious gatherings I’ve spent years researching than any ordinary workshop. Participants spoke of joy, sorrow, and hope, saying their ‘eyes were opened’ and ‘hearts pierced’ by a renewed sense of the value of language.

    War junkies: Why foreign fighters are flocking to Ukraine
    Meger, S (ABC, 2019)
    Ukraine is not the first place to come to mind when the term "foreign fighters" is used. But this Eastern European country has long been a destination for men from Western countries seeking the thrill of a battle they view as a fight for the future of Europe.
