Download or read book A Preponderance of Aboriginal Blood written by Michele Helmrich and published by numero uno publications. This book was released on 2019-12-25 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new publication introduces Judy Watson's 2005 limited edition artist book a preponderance of aboriginal blood to a wider readership. Judy Watson heard Loris Williams' lecture 'CASTE-ING THE VOTE: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voting rights in Queensland' at The University of Queensland in 2005. In her lecture Williams, from the Department of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Policy, spoke of the classifications of Aboriginal people used to determine their right to vote. The Aboriginals Protection and Restriction of the Sale of Opium Act 1897 (Qld) - long title "An Act to make Provision for the Better Protection and Care of the Aboriginal and Half-caste Inhabitants of the Colony, and to make more Effectual Provision for Restricting the Sale and Distribution of Opium". The Act categorised 'Persons deemed to be aboriginals' in Section 4 as: (a) An aboriginal inhabitant of Queensland; or (b) A half-caste who, at the commencement of this Act, is living with an aboriginal as wife, husband, or child; or (c) A half-caste who, otherwise than as wife, husband, or child, habitually lives or associates with aboriginals;shall be deemed to be an aboriginal within the meaning of this Act.The phrase a preponderance of aboriginal blood appears in one of these documents, and provided Watson with the title for her artist book. The Acting Assistant Director of Native Affairs used the term in his letter dated 9 December 1949 replying to Mrs H. Tyson, who had sought the right to enrol to vote for herself and her husband. He stated, "The State Electoral Act provides that persons having a preponderance of aboriginal blood are not eligible to vote, and the fact that such persons hold Exemption Certificates does not alter the matter in any way."

They then look at one threatened element of the power structure - the local education authorities. They examine the features of local authority policy and attempt to systematise local policy. The experience of families is examined in their relationships with professionals, particularly during the preparation of Statements of Special Educational Need. This is followed by sections on services for under-fives, integrating education and the authors provide examples of changing school policies and the practices that have arisen from them; supporting the learning of all pupils in primary and secondary schools, changing the role of special schools, ensuring that girls and boys are provided with equal opportunities, writing a development plan and the experience of a teacher with a disability. They then examine policies and practices in education after school and finish with theories of integration and disability.

Download or read book The Holocaust Museum and Human Rights written by Jennifer Barrett and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2025-01-28 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanning six continents—Europe, Australia, Africa, Asia, North America, and South America—this edited collection offers a comparative, transnational study of Holocaust and human rights museums that foregrounds the overlapping and often contested work these institutions do in narrating and memorializing histories of genocide and human rights abuses for a public audience. Museums that link the Holocaust with social justice, human rights, and genocide prevention have been founded in many countries—for example, the Kazerne Dossin Memorial Museum in Belgium, the Anne Frank House in the Netherlands, and the Johannesburg Holocaust and Genocide Centre in South Africa—making Holocaust and human rights museums a global phenomenon. It is not uncommon for these institutions to court controversy by linking the Holocaust to human rights issues in their locales and abroad. Some begin from a “Holocaust core” and extrapolate from this history to address broader concerns, while others integrate the Holocaust as “a” or, at times, “the” case study par excellence of human rights abuses. Other institutions that may not explicitly focus on the Holocaust continue to engage these representational practices to highlight other instances of genocide and human rights abuses. The case studies in this book illuminate the convergences between Holocaust and human rights museums in their demands for social justice and reparation, educational and activist purpose, design principles, and curatorial choices. But it also shows how these museums can also be sites of contestation around how stories of suffering, courage, and survival are told; whose stories are prioritized; and who is consulted. Although Holocaust museums were once the most influential form of representation of human rights issues in the international museum and heritage fields, they are now in dialogue—visually, spatially, methodologically—with museums and memorial sites concerned with human rights more broadly. Interrogating debates in both museology and Holocaust memory studies, this volume reveals how institutions dedicated to these concerns have become active and influential contributors to local, national, and transnational dialogues about human rights.
