Abstract

Background. Efforts to meaningfully integrate Aboriginal perspectives into Australian school curricula remain uneven and contested, often constrained by systemic limitations and a lack of culturally informed pedagogical frameworks. Aboriginal narratives, particularly those tied to Country, embody holistic systems of knowledge that challenge Western linear constructions of curriculum and offer alternative modes of understanding land, identity, and education. Purpose. This study explores how Aboriginal educational narratives are interpreted and integrated into curriculum practice by both Indigenous and non-Indigenous educators across diverse Australian school settings. Method. Employing a qualitative, multi-site case study approach, the research involved interviews with 22 educators and curriculum leaders, alongside analysis of classroom materials and reflective teaching journals. Results. The findings reveal that successful integration depends on deep, relational engagement with community knowledge holders, an ethic of cultural humility, and a willingness to reconfigure disciplinary boundaries. Educators who engaged in collaborative curriculum-making reported greater confidence in embedding Indigenous perspectives in ways that respect narrative sovereignty and pedagogical integrity. Conclusion. The study concludes that Aboriginal storytelling offers not only content but a method—transforming curriculum into a site of shared responsibility, ethical dialogue, and place-based learning.

Abstract

Environmental justice has become a central issue in the global discourse on sustainability, particularly in the context of industrial pollution. Civil society organizations (CSOs) play a pivotal role in advocating for the rights of affected communities, ensuring that the voices of marginalized populations are heard. Despite their significant contributions, the effectiveness of CSOs in promoting environmental justice remains underexplored. This research investigates the role of CSOs in advocating for environmental justice, specifically in cases of industrial pollution, examining their strategies, challenges, and impact on policy change. The study employs a qualitative research design, utilizing in-depth interviews with key stakeholders from selected CSOs, community members, and policymakers. It also involves case study analysis of prominent instances of industrial pollution and CSO involvement in both mitigating the effects and demanding accountability. The findings reveal that CSOs significantly contribute to raising awareness, mobilizing communities, and holding industries accountable for environmental damage. However, challenges such as limited resources, political opposition, and legal barriers hinder their advocacy efforts. The study concludes that while CSOs play a crucial role in environmental justice advocacy, their success is contingent upon strengthening partnerships, increasing access to resources, and fostering greater political will for environmental protection.

Abstract

The increasing complexity of global social and environmental challenges has intensified the need for innovative models of social entrepreneurship that move beyond conventional profit-oriented and philanthropic approaches. Game-based systems have emerged as interactive digital mechanisms capable of fostering sustained engagement, behavioral change, and collective action, yet their strategic role in social entrepreneurship remains underexplored. This study aims to examine how game-based social entrepreneurship functions as a catalyst for sustainable impact by integrating interactive design with social value creation. A qualitative multiple-case research design was employed, involving eight social enterprises that systematically utilize game-based mechanisms to address social and environmental challenges. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, document analysis, and platform engagement metrics, and analyzed using thematic and comparative techniques. The results indicate that social enterprises embedding narrative-driven gameplay, cooperative mechanics, and mission-linked feedback systems achieve higher levels of sustained user engagement, mission alignment, and impact scalability. Game-based systems were found to operate as structural infrastructures rather than supplementary engagement tools. The study concludes that game-based social entrepreneurship represents a transformative model that bridges digital innovation and sustainability, enabling social enterprises to translate participatory play into durable social impact and long-term value creation.
