Abstract

Janice Edith Jones Monk, a prominent Australian geographer, passed away on July 12, 2024. She was known for her contributions to feminist and social geography and her focus on the Aboriginal experience in Australian geography. Monk's career included positions at the University of Illinois and the University of Arizona, where she conducted research on gender, place, and race. She received numerous honors and awards for her work and was recognized for her leadership in gender and geography. Monk's impact as a mentor, friend, and intellectual left a lasting mark on Australian geography and geographers. Her research challenged the prevailing narrative of the "Aboriginal problem" and emphasized the importance of context and place-based differences. Monk's work continues to influence the discipline of geography, particularly in addressing multiple dimensions of context and difference. [Extracted from the article]

11. Social impact assessment and resource development: issues from the Australian experience.

Author

Howitt, Richard

Abstract

Several approaches to Social Impact Assessment have been applied to resource development projects in Australia since the early 1970s. Debate amongst researchers and other participants has raised crucial issues for the practice of social scientists generally, and economic geographers in particular. Differences have emerged between those who see SIA as a formal inquiry process in a specific legislative framework, and those who see SIA as a means of empowering communities affected by resource development, particularly Aboriginal communities. This paper reviews the debate, focusing on the work of the Berger Inquiry in Canada and the Ranger Inquiry, and projects to monitor the social impact of mining in the Northern Territory and East Kimberley region. It outlines a relational framework which situates SIA conceptually in its dynamic political context. [ABSTRACT FROM PUBLISHER]
