Abstract

The symposia at the Flinders University and at Universitas Padjadjaran in West Java (December, 2017) (This symposium is linked with partnership development in Indonesia. UnPad (University of Padjadjaran) is co-hosting the symposium) spread across two geographical sites explored the challenge of increased urbanisation and movement towards cities (In Indonesia the rate of urbanisation is faster than other Asian countries: According to the World Bank: ‘Indonesia is undergoing a historic transformation from a rural to an urban economy. The country’s cities are growing faster than in other Asian countries at a rate of 4.1% per year. By 2025—in less than 10 years—Indonesia can expect to have 68% of its population living in cities’. http://​www.​worldbank.​org/​en/​news/​feature/​2016/​06/​14/​indonesia-urban-story) and the implications it has for the life chances of unemployed women who become increasingly vulnerable to trafficking. Globally women, children and vulnerable members of the population face complex health, housing and social inclusion needs especially in disaster-prone areas (https://​www.​theguardian.​com/​environment/​2015/​nov/​27/​christiana-figueres-the-woman-tasked-with-saving-the-world-from-global warming). Since the Stern Review on Climate Change (2006), little has been achieved in terms of mitigating the rate of warming. Burn and Simmons (2006) and Finn (2016) highlight the global and regional risks associated with the effects of climate change on the most vulnerable. The border protection mentality is becoming more prevalent globally, but human trafficking, disaster and climate change are transnational issues that require a big picture approach. This paper provides an overview of the symposium and gives a sense of the key points made across the papers provided. The common theme across the two sites is the need to protect the land and to prevent exploitation of people and the environment and to find ways to protect food, energy and water security through caring for people and living systems of which they are a strand.

Nächstes Kapitel Dynamic Weaving Together Strands of Experience: Multiple Mixed Methods Approaches to Resilience and Regeneration Based on Intra-, Inter- and Cross-Disciplinary Approaches
Fußnoten

We will address the wicked problem of creating jobs and then link to the so-called blue economy, and methodologically we request that papers to address the inter−/trans- cross-disciplinary theme. Pauli’s visionary ideas could be extended by drawing on examples of projects using gender analysis, mainstreaming, participatory action research and engagement processes to enhance representation, accountability and regeneration of social, economic and environmental resources. ‘What is the problem represented to be’? (Bacchi 2009).

Papers are invited to address the challenges posed by Rorty (1999) In ‘Achieving our Country’ to be practical, engaged academics rather than spectators. We envisage a small conference of no more than 35–45 participants. Twenty papers will be selected from papers submitted prior to the event and discussed at the symposium together with members of the community with lived experience. We hope to learn more from Kaurna participants about the gifted words to Flinders: Ngayirda karralika kawingka tikainga yara kumaminthi: ‘When the outer world and the sky connect with the water the two become one’ from Kaurna elder Uncle Lewis Yerloburka. This symposium will contribute to developing a theoretical framework that can translate present understanding about the promotion of going beyond sustainable living, resilience and recovery into practical guidance for communities, response agencies and professionals in effective long-term resilience and regeneration. Papers to address the themes include the following: unemployment with particular reference to those left behind in the current economy (particularly women and young people) to explore the potential of new alternatives such as the so-called Cascade, Blue Economy.

We spend research efforts on narrowly defined areas that are defined by gatekeepers who represent short termism and the 1%. The terms of reference need to be widened. Fighting over whether to fund submarine development in Adelaide is one example of the challenge for defence. The focus needs to be on human security and prevention of cascading social, economic and environmental challenges. Last week I attended a European Commission workshop in Adelaide attended by senior public sector researchers and military strategists. The event was opened by Danish Ambassador to Australia with the statement that he stressed to his grandchildren that they should not have children as by 2050 life could be too stressful. Adelaide and Copenhagen are friendly rivals to become carbon neutral by 2020. More cities need to take up this challenge. The aim of my research is to explore ways to narrow the gap between the life chances across the diverse stakeholders within nation states, respective of whether they are citizens of a nation state or not. Most of my work to date has make a case for giving a voice to the voiceless and addressing the social, economic and environmental life changes of all generations by understanding our interdependency as part of an overall living system.

Leisure within a natural environment should also be valued. The notion of restoring the spirit through visits to the sea, bush, desert and mountains is commonly recognised now as ‘ecotourism’. According to Stiglitz et al. (2010), the essence of the commissioned work’s findings is that wealth needs to include stocks for the future—social, economic and environmental. Stiglitz, Sen and Fitoussi (2010) look at reconceptualising what we value and why, but they do not place it above any monetary measure as sacred dimensions of the basis for life. By measuring we commodify, and this can result in commodifying the very things that should be beyond price. The way to achieve this is in part through public education and a recognition of our interconnected place within living systems.
