Special Interest Group

The idea for this special section came out of discussions with the editor of this journal and Madelyn Iris who convened a special interest group at the 1997 SfAA meetings in Seattle. Dr. Iris is well-known to practicing anthropologists through her long association with SfAA and with NAPA and in the anthropology of disabilities. With the regular participation of the Association for Aging and Gerontology (AAGE) at SfAA meetings, it seemed timely to survey the field for the readers of Practicing Anthropology. For me (Rodin), my connection to the field has been a bit tenuous the last few years, but it seemed a good way to meet and reacquaint with colleagues of similar interests.

The Creation

At the 2017 IASL Annual Conference, the Children’s and Young Adult Literature Special Interest Group (CYAL SIG) discussed the creation of “Authentic Voices,” a curated list of titles, authors, illustrators, and publishers identified by IASL members as sharing authentic voices from indigenous peoples around the world. “Authentic Voices” is envisioned to be a mirror for readers from these groups, a window for readers outside of these cultures, and a sliding glass door to promote engagement with all (Sims Bishop, 1990). This paper describes the need for such a list, important diversity movements and trends in children’s and young adult literature including #weneeddiversebooks and #ownvoices, and some exemplars to be included on the list.

Difficult Decision

There is a world-wide trend to increasing social involvement in development projects. This is certainly true in Australia where proponents of developments that impact on a community or affect the environment can expect to be subject to close scrutiny by both government and special interest groups and, occasionally, face militant opposition to their activities.In recent times the trend is for these differences to be resolved in the courts. While the action that BHP Petroleum took against Greenpeace is well known and represents something of a landmark in Australia, most of the court actions have related to urban land development. Consequently, a body of law has evolved — and will so continue — delineating the general principles to be applied in this area and determining where the balance lies between the resource developer and his detractors.This paper examines the rights of a special interest group to legitimately review and scrutinise proposals for oil exploration and development, and what recourse it has to the courts to ensure that the proper processes are followed. Conversely, the position of an oil explorer is also considered, in circumstances where a special interest group embarks on a program of interference or obstruction that is contrary to law. The oil explorer faces a difficult decision: either he can take up the cudgels himself and use the legal process to restrain the interference or seek the assistance of the Police and other government authorities.While the legal balance presently favours the oil explorers, there are indications, both in the courts and through legislative amendment, that this balance may be redressed and tilt back strongly in favour of special interest groups.
