Ian Hay (From the Examiner newspaper)
Faculty of Education researchers led by Associate Professor Rosemary Callingham were
successful in obtaining funding under the ARC Discovery project scheme. Other team
members are Associate Professors Helen Chick and Kim Beswick, Professor Ian Hay and
Professor Tom Nicholson of Massey University. The project is entitled ‘Powerful knowledge:
mapping out standards of teachers' knowledge for teaching mathematics and English to
achieve the goals of the curriculum’. The project aims to establish benchmarks for teachers’
knowledge at all levels of schooling in mathematics and English.
Jeanne Allen spends time as Visiting Scholar in UK Jeanne Allen spent a week in September as a visiting scholar in the School of Medicine at
the Keele University in the UK, where she conducted lectures, seminars and workshops on
her research. The invitation to take up this work came from Professor Val Wass, the Head of
the School of Medicine at the Keele University and was based on collaborative work that
Jeanne has been doing since 2011 with Dr Kay Mohanna, Postgraduate Director of the
Keele University’s School of Medicine, and Dr Jaya Bajaj, Head of Medical Education and
Training, NationWide Primary Healthcare Services, Bengaluru, India

Mary Ann Hunter invited to Vancouver to participate in roundtable In October, Mary Ann participated in a week-long residency at the Peter Wall Institute for
Advanced Studies at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. She was invited to join
20 international researchers in arts, law, neuro-ethics, public policy, education, and peace
and conflict studies for a roundtable to investigate the topic, ‘Resilience, Arts, and Social
Transformation’. The week's activities included workshops by leading arts practitioners from
Serbia, USA, and South Africa as well as discussions with professionals working in settings
as diverse as child refugee support, NASA astronaut training, environmental biology,
and community-based programs for people with HIV/AIDS. During the residency, Mary Ann
lead a working group on interdisciplinary evaluation, and is partnering with Dr Kitche Magak
of Maseno University, Kenya, on establishing a new peer-reviewed journal in interdisciplinary
arts and social change.
Writing retreat
Writing retreat participants from left to right: Bruce Duncan, Seyum Getenet, Helen Yost, Elspeth Stephenson,
Bronwyn Reynolds, Diane Nailon, Noleine Fitzallen, Bill Mulford, Belinda Hopwood, Vaughan Cruickshank,
Frances Fan, Greg Ashman, Kim Beswick, Megan Short, Jane Watson, Amanda Yorke and Sherridan Emery.
(Absent (briefly!): Tracey Muir and Zich Zichy-Woinarski)
The Faculty held it’s second annual writing retreat in Launceston on the 26th and 27th
November. The retreat was attended by 16 writers including both staff and students.
Professor Emerita Jane Watson and Professor Emeritus Bill Mulford were on hand to
provide immdeiate and expert advice that was much appreciated by partiicpants. The event
was a success with 16 journal articles underway and due for submission on or before March
1, 2013.

Gambling research report in the news Christine Gardner and John Williamson completed a research report, Weighing up the odds,
commissioned by the Department of Health and Human Service (DHHS), Tasmania. Six
hundred and six Tasmanians aged between 14 and 17 years participated in the study.
The Mercury, August 20, 2012, (pp. 1, 4) ran the story of the study’s release and reported
that Human Services Minister, Cassy O’Connor who launched the report, had said that its
findings would inform programs aimed at saving young people from becoming problem
gamblers. In the same article Independent Denison MP Andrew Wilkie commented that the
report was a good step that must be followed up with action.
More recently The Examiner journalist, Rosita Gallasch, on November 19th (p. 8) presented
a feature news investigation about young people and gambling in which several of the
report’s key findings were presented relating to young people’s knowledge-or lack of
knowledge-about gambling, and their related experiences, beliefs and attitudes.
The report is available on the DHHS website

Hobart Writing Day

While the writing retreat was being held in Launceston, a few members of the Faculty based
in Hobart had two days focussing on writing. All participants reported solid progress towards
publication.

Two OLT grants involve Faculty of Education staff. Two project teams consisting of Faculty of education members were awarded OLT grants in
the most recent funding round. The two teams were awarded grants in excess of $200,000
each. Members of the first project, 'Development of mathematics pathways for VET students
to articulate to related higher education courses', lead by Professor Sue Kilpatrick, involved
Rosemary Callingham, Jane Skalicky, Noleine Fitzallen and Kim Beswick. Other academics
from UTAS, Flinders University, James Cook University, the Australian Maritime College and
University of Southern Queensland make up the team.
John Kenny is the sole UTAS staff member on a project lead by Deakin University.
Academics from the Australian Catholic University, University of Melbourne and RMIT
University are also involved. The title of their project is 'School-based pedagogies and
partnerships in primary science teacher education'.
Damon Thomas recipient of Vice Chancellor’s Leadership Award Damon Thomas is one of 75 students from the University who received the Vice
Chancellor’s Leadership Award (VCLA). The VCLA program is open to all students who
have been studying at UTAS for at least one year. Each participant is required to complete a
series of tasks, including 40 hours of volunteer work and attendance at seminars held
throughout the year. Congratulations Damon!

Spotlight on our Research Higher Degree students
A new regular feature of Research News will be a profile of one of our Research Higher
Degree students. In this edition we turn the spotlight on Yaar Muhammad.
Yaar says:

I grew up in Jhelum, a small town situated just one hundred kilometres away from
Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan.
I completed a BA in Islamic Studies, B.Ed, MA in Urdu literature and MSc in Pakistan
Studies from prestigious universities in Pakistan. In 2008 I went to Sweden to undertake an
MA in Outdoor Education and Outdoor Life. During my study in Sweden, I became interested
in the MA in International Migration and Ethnic Life and completed the two MA degrees
simultaneously (both with Swedish VG comparable to Australian High Distinction).
In Sweden, when I successfully defended my two MA theses, my supervisors and teachers
emphatically advised me to do a PhD, which awakened my interest in working as an
academic at higher levels. Since my research interests were interdisciplinary, and the topic
was focused on Pakistan, I could not find an expert in Sweden or Denmark. I was offered a
scholarship in an Italian University at the same time as receiving an offer of a place here in
UTas. Because of the attraction of a strong supervisory team consisting of Prof Derek
Colquhoun, Dr Marion Myhill, and Dr Gregory Ashman, as well as an Elite Scholarship, I
decided to accept the UTas offer and move to Tasmania to do my PhD. After 6 months, I
believe my decision was 100 % right.
The topic of my PhD project is “National Identity, Religious Diversity and Citizenship
Education Curriculum in Pakistan: An Interpretive Policy Analysis”.
The educational disadvantage of the religious minorities is the main cause for concern in my
study. I am doing a detailed and comprehensive examination of the curriculum policy for
citizenship education in Pakistan as this is a primary source of the controversy among
various communities throughout the country. I am interested in understanding how
Policymakers, and affected citizens such as Islamic nationalists (orthodox Muslims) and
Pakistani nationalists (liberal Muslims and minority activists) engage in framing the
controversy in the public sphere so that through frame analysis I can put forward
suggestions for the reformulation of the policy.
When I am not studying, I spend my spare time talking to my kids, teaching and guiding
them through Skype.
Faculty of Education HERDC Publications Please browse the display folders containing our Higher Education Research Data Collection
(HERDC) outputs for 2012 to date in the staff rooms on each campus. Looking through the
folder or checking out the notice board displays of recent publications is a great way of
finding out about the research that colleagues are doing.
If you have a publication (HERDC or otherwise) that has not been entered on in the
Publication Entry System (PES) please make sure that it is added as a priority. Check your
WARP record if unsure of the completeness of your record and contact
