Responding to Violent Assaults Against Police (Old ID 22949)
The proposed research is a collaboration between Queensland Police Services (QPS) and James Cook university and will lead to a sustainable and mutually beneficial relationship due to the Chief Investigators role as the invited JCU representative on the newly formed Community Policing Board which was introduced by the state government this year. The purpose of the Community Policing board is to foster partnerships between the major community groups and QPS in order to identify community based strategies to combat crimes which threaten the property and personal safety of local citizens. This is an opportune initiative considering that Townsville currently has the highest levels of youth crime in the state.
Townsville's Timeline, our history and it's media (Old ID 22168)
We are seeking funding from the T150 scheme for our research time and the putting on of an exhibition at the Museum of Tropical Queensland. We have support in kind from James Cook University, the Museum of Tropical Queensland, and the Townsville Bulletin. We learn about our community and region partly through the local and community media. In addition history is recorded through the reports of our media. This project will be unique in documenting and drawing together numerous events to reflect on how our local media has shaped our community and identity. The project will complement the work of the T150 Townsville Bulletin projects.
Traditional Knowledge about Climate and Food Security in Kwaio, Malaita, Solomon Islands (Old ID 27270)
This project will be implemented in conjunction with Baru Conservation Alliance in Malaita, Solomon Islands. Traditional Knowledge and experience of weather, the seasonal interaction of plants, animals and people will be explored and documented. The use of tradiitional 'disaster food' after natural disasters will also be documented. The local scale production of flour from locally grown fuits and vegetables will be piloted; usage and spoilage monitored, and dishes made from flour trialled for acceptability and feasibility with Kwaio tribal groups. The project links food security, health and ecological sustainability to inform local level disaster and climate resilience measures in Malaita, Solomon Islands.
Townsville's Prioneering Road: Objects, histories and stories from pasture to port and prosperity (Old ID 22179)
Townsville's success over Port Denison (Bowen) and Cardwell was due to the Townsville-Dalrymple road, constructed by Melton Black, connecting the port in Ross Creek to the interior. This project highlights the road and its role in Townsville's story through objects excavated from archaeological sites found along it including Stanton House (Flinders St East), the Range Hotel (Hervey's Range) and the Cape River goldfield. The objects will be presented in an online, 'virtual' museum with 3D images. The project will use the objects to stimulate a creative writing workshop and will also include electronic education packs for primary school students.
Enhancing District Delivery and Management of Agriculture Extension in Lao PDR (Old ID 20602)
The primary purpose of this project is to improve management of agricultural extension services in Lao PDR. A JCU team is partnering with the Government of Lao's Department of Agriculture Extension and Cooperatives to research and implement ways of strengthening extension. Organization development and participatory action research methodologies will be used to engage stakeholders from villages, Districts, Provinces and relevant government agencies in the co-creation and implementation of: (a) extension guidelines to match new extension interventions to local needs and opportunities; and (b) Extension Management System tools to assist District Agriculture and Forestry Offices to plan and manage services.
Re-Curating the Tropics in the era of climate change: Indigenous relationships with natural science collections in the Queensland Museum (Old ID 23071)
That Aboriginal people have made significant contributions to natural science collections in museums is little known and poorly understood. We explore relationships between natural species collectors and Aboriginal people who often helped create those collections. Our focus is no culturally significant tropical species in museum collections and how these species are represented in artefact collections. We will explore ideas about environmental change evidenced in museum practices (collecting, archiving, curating) and Aboriginal artists' responses to these ways of representing nature. In collaboration with Aboriginal artists and curators, we will begin to develop an analytical exhibition concerning environmental change in the tropics.
Language emergence in multilingual contexts (Old ID 23509)
As European colonisation spread around the world, European languages infiltrated numerous areas, giving rise to new language varieties. Bringing indigenous people from various language groups together — on plantations, in missions and boarding schools — has resulted in creating new forms of dominant languages for inter-group communication, among them European-based Creoles (such as Tok Pisin, the English-based Creole, and the previously undescribed Unserdeutsch, a creolized variety of German, in PNG). New blended languages emerge, as communities come to live together. We focus on areas of high linguistic diversity covering New Guinea, Amazonia, and East Asia, in the context of multilingual situations.
Sustainable Livelihoods and Protected Area Planning in PNG (Old ID 25083)
The Nakanai Ranges have been identified as a Key "Biodiversity Area due to their high density of endemic and range-restricted species of high conservation concern due to pressures of industrial logging and oil palm development. We aim to engage local communities in stewardship of world heritage through tangible conservation and livelihood benefits, acknowledging the causal relationship between heritage, local people and their well-being. Protection of primary rainforest in Nakanai will enable the continued flow of ecosystem services, such as the provision of clean water and the protection of soil resources.
Understanding the experience of women in a tuberculosis hot spot in Solomon Islands to effectively find, treat and care for people with tuberculosis. (Old ID 28952)
• TB remains at unacceptable rates in East Kwaio, Malaita, Solomon Islands. There still are many more undiagnosed cases, or new cases, known to occur amongst people living in mountainous areas. • Women are central to the care of children and family members, including being responsible for growing food. They experience tuberculosis, and care of people with tuberculosis, differently to men and children because of these responsibilities. • Barriers to finding, testing and treating TB remain due to social and cultural challenges faced by women, health system exclusion and geographic isolation. The aim of this qualitative study is to explore and describe women's experience of tuberculosis in East Kwaio, Solomon Islands to determine how to effectively test, treat and support people with tuberculosis.
Knowledge Brokering from the Bottom Up: Co-designing Climate Information Products with the Kwaio people of Malaita Province, Solomon Islands (Old ID 28981)
Baru Conservation Alliance (BCA) and JCU successfully implemented the APCP funded “Traditional Knowledge about Climate and Food Security in Kwaio, Malaita, Solomon Islands” in 2021/22. This current “Knowledge Brokering from the Bottom Up: Co-designing Climate Information Products with the Kwaio people” project strengthens capacity built in 2021/22 to inform climate information products based on Kwaio traditional knowledge. The project will create communication products that utlise both western scientific and traditional Kwaio knowledge about the weather, how the weather is changing and what this means for people living on Malaita, Solomon Islands.
