The book offers a compelling combination of analyis and detailed
description of aesthetic projects with young refugee arrivals in
Australia. In it the authors present a framework that
contextualises the intersections of refugee studies, resilience and
trauma, and theatre and arts-based practice, setting out a context
for understanding and valuing the complexity of drama in this
growing area of applied theatre. "Applied Theatre: Resettlement"
includes rich analysis of three aesthetic case studies in Primary,
Secondary and Further Education contexts with young refugees. The
case studies provide a unique insight into the different age
specific needs of newly arrived young people. The authors detail
how each group and educational context shaped diverse drama and
aesthetic responses: the Primary school case study uses process
drama as a method to enhance language acquisition and develop
intercultural literacy; the Secondary school project focuses on
Forum Theatre and peer teaching with young people as a means of
enhancing language confidence and creating opportunities for
cultural competency in the school community, and the further
education case study explores work with unaccompanied minors and
employs integrated multi art forms (poetry, art, drama, digital
arts, clay sculptures and voice work) to increase confidence in
language acquisition and explore different forms of expression and
communication about the transition process. Through its careful
framing of practice to speak to concerns of power, process,
representation and ethics, the authors ensure the studies have an
international relevance beyond their immediate context. "Drama,
Refugees and Resilience" contributes to new professional knowledge
building in the fields of applied theatre and refugee studies about
the efficacy of drama practice in enhancing language acquisition,
cultural settlement and pedagogy with newly arrived refugee young
people.

citizenship education * bullying and conflict management *
criticality * digital technologies * additional language learning

In 1981, The Stuart Foundation, a not-for-profit foundation
dedicated to funding experimental public sculpture, and the
University of California, San Diego formed an extraordinary
partnership to create a major public, site-specific sculpture
collection with works throughout the campus. This collection has
played an important role in the arena of public art. Instead of
asking artists to create an object, without reference to the site,
they ask that each artist explore the campus carefully, and create
a site-specific piece that could be integrated into the beautifully
landscaped, 1,200-acre UCSD campus in La Jolla. The collection now
includes 20 works by some of the most important contemporary
artists, including William Wegman, Bruce Nauman, Kiki Smith, Robert
Irwin, Do Ho Suh and Mark Bradford, among others. Landmarks is an
updated edition of the only book focused on this premier collection
of site specific public art. The catalogue features an essay from
an interview with the collection's founding director, Mary Beebe;
an essay on the importance of the collection by Rob Storr; and
in-depth interviews with the 20 artists featured in the collection
and two artists whose work is underway. Published in association
with the Stuart Collection.
