Social marketing and government policy are intertwined. Despite this, policy analysis by social marketers is rare. This paper aims to address the dearth of policy analysis in social marketing and introduce and model a methodology grounded in Indigenous knowledge and from an Indigenous standpoint. In Australia, a minuscule number of First Nations people complete doctoral degrees. The most recent, major policy review, the Australian Council of Learned Academies (ACOLA) Report, made a series of recommendations, with some drawn from countries that have successfully uplifted Indigenous doctoral candidates’ success. This paper “speaks back” to the ACOLA Report.

This paper subjects the ACOLA Report, implementation plans and evaluations to a detailed Indigenous Critical Discourse Analysis using Nakata’s Indigenous standpoint theory and Bacchi’s Foucauldian discourse analysis to trace why policy borrowing from other countries is challenging if other elements of the political, social and cultural landscape are fundamentally unsupportive of reforms.

This paper makes arguments about the effects produced by the way the “problem” of First Nations doctoral education has been represented in this suite of Australian policy documents and the ways in which changes could be made that would actually address the pressing need for First Nations doctoral success in Australia.

Conducting policy analysis benefits social marketers in many ways, helping to navigate policy complexities and advocate for meaningful policy reforms for a social cause. This paper aims to spark more social marketing policy analysis and introduces a methodology uncommon to social marketing.

This paper aims to outline the role of self-transcendent emotions (STEs) such as compassion, gratitude and elevation in the context of sustainable tourism. It proposes a research agenda for further investigation of these emotions as facilitators of value co-creation in sustainable tourism.

Drawing on the literature on the psychology of STEs, sustainable tourist behaviour and value co-creation, this paper pinpoints potential developments and challenges associated with STEs in the domain of sustainable tourism by following a service-dominant logic approach.

STEs are likely to have a profound impact on sustainable tourism leading to value co-creation and mitigating the risk of value co-destruction and value no-creation. They can facilitate value co-creation by shifting the focus of actors from their own selves towards others in the tourism ecosystem, shifting the focus from extrinsic to intrinsic motivations and increasing moral values. Moreover, STEs are expected to be contiguous and reciprocal, fostering value co-creation in sustainable tourism practices. However, extreme levels of STEs can lead to value co-destruction and value no-creation.

This paper highlights the role of STEs as facilitators of value co-creation in sustainable tourism, a facet that has been overlooked in the existing literature. Further investigation is necessary in different contexts such as transformative and regenerative tourism; societal or individual crises and failures and the applications of technologies such as the Metaverse and artificial intelligence.

本文概述了自我超越情感 (STEs）如慈悲、感恩和升华在可持续旅游环境中的作用。它提出了进一步研究这些情感作为可持续旅游中价值共创的促进因素的研究议程。

本文借鉴了有关自我超越情感心理学、可持续旅游行为和价值共创的文献, 通过遵循服务主导（S-D）逻辑方法, 指出了自我超越情感在可持续旅游领域的潜在发展和挑战。

自我超越情感很可能对可持续旅游产生深远影响, 促进价值共创, 减轻价值共毁和价值无创造的风险。它们可以通过将旅游生态系统中的行动者的关注点从自己转移到他人身上来促进价值共创; 将关注点从外在动机转移到内在动机; 增加道德价值观。此外, 自我超越情感预计会是连续和相互的, 促进可持续旅游实践中的价值共创。然而, 自我超越情感的极端水平可能导致价值共毁和价值无创造。

我们的论文突出了自我超越情感作为可持续旅游中价值共创的促进因素的作用, 这是现有文献中被忽视的一个方面。有必要在不同的背景下进行进一步研究, 如变革性和再生性旅游; 社会或个体的危机和失败; 以及元宇宙和人工智能等技术的应用。

Este artículo explica el papel de las emociones autotrascendentes (STEs por sus siglas en inglés), tales como la compasión, la gratitud y la elevación, en el contexto del turismo sostenible. Además, propone una agenda de investigación para profundizar en el rol de estas emociones como facilitadoras de la cocreación de valor en el turismo sostenible.

Basándose en la literatura sobre psicología de las STEs, comportamiento turístico sostenible y cocreación de valor, este artículo señala los posibles avances y retos asociados a las STEs en el ámbito del turismo sostenible, siguiendo el enfoque de la lógica dominante del servicio (S-D).

Es probable que las STEs tengan un profundo impacto en el turismo sostenible, lo que conducirá a la cocreación de valor y atenuara el riesgo de la codestrucción de valor y la no creación de valor. Las STEs pueden facilitar la cocreación de valor desplazando la atención de los agentes desde su propio yo hacia los demás en el ecosistema turístico; desplazando la atención de las motivaciones extrínsecas a las intrínsecas; y aumentando los valores morales. Adicionalmente, se espera que las STEs sean contiguas y recíprocas, fomentando la cocreación de valor en las prácticas de turismo sostenible. Sin embargo, unos niveles extremos de STEs pueden conducir a la codestrucción de valor y a la no creación de valor.

Nuestro artículo destaca el rol de las STEs como facilitadoras de la cocreación de valor en el turismo sostenible, una faceta que no ha sido explorada en la literatura existente. Es necesario seguir investigando en diferentes contextos como el turismo transformativo y regenerativo; las crisis y los fracasos sociales o individuales; y las aplicaciones de tecnologías como el Metaverso y la inteligencia artificial.

The purpose of this study was to research studies in the literature regarding the role of the occupational therapist within penitentiary facilities.

The study design is a systematic review using five different databases.

Findings can therefore ascertain the potential role of occupational therapists in penitentiary institutions because they can contribute to the rehabilitation of prisoners both inside and outside prisons with a view to their reintegration into society.

It is necessary for clinical practice, and especially to increase the health of people within prisons, to update the occupational therapist interventions in the literature that are effective within prisons.

According to this study, the intervention of occupational therapists in the prison setting reduces recidivism and contributes to social and work reintegration. This has positive effects in terms of costs related to incarceration.

Findings can therefore ascertain the potential role of occupational therapists in penitentiary institutions because they can contribute to the rehabilitation of prisoners both inside and outside prisons with a view to their reintegration into society.

Poetic inquiry is an approach that promotes alternate perspectives about what research means and speaks to more diverse audiences than traditional forms of research. Across academia, there is increasing attention to decolonising research. This reflects a shift towards research methods that recognise, acknowledge and appreciate diverse ways of knowing, being and doing. The purpose of this paper is to explore the different ways in which poetic inquiry communicates parallax to further decolonise knowledge production and dissemination and centre First Nations’ ways of knowing, being and doing.

This manuscript presents two First Nations’ perspectives on a methodological approach that is decolonial and aligns with Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing. In trying to frame this diversity through Indigenous standpoint theory (Foley, 2003), the authors present two First Nation’s women's autoethnographic perspectives through standpoint and poetics on the role of poetic inquiry and parallax in public pedagogy and decolonising research (Fredericks et al., 2019; Moreton-Robinson, 2000).

The key to understanding poetic inquiry is parallax, the shift in an object, perspective or thinking that comes with a change in the observer's position or perspective. Challenging dominant research paradigms is essential for the continued evolution of research methodologies and to challenge the legacy that researchers have left in colonised countries. The poetic is often invisible/unrecognised in the broader Indigenist research agenda; however, it is a powerful tool in decolonial research in the way it disrupts core assumptions about and within research and can effectively engage with those paradoxes that decolonising research tends to uncover.

Poetic inquiry is not readily accepted in academia; however, it is a medium that is well suited to communicating diverse ways of knowing and has a history of being embraced by First Nations peoples in Australia. Embracing poetic inquiry in qualitative research offers a unique approach to decolonising knowledge and making space for Indigenous ways of knowing, being and doing.

Poetic inquiry offers a unique approach to centring First Nations voices, perspectives and experiences to reduce hegemonic assumptions in qualitative research.

Writing about poetic inquiry and decolonisation from a First Nations’ perspective using poetry is a novel and nuanced approach to discussions around First Nations ways of knowing, being and doing.

The purpose of this paper is to illustrate how often survivors are dismissed and unsupported in response to actively reaching out for help with distress. The author hopes the vignettes written about in this piece will serve to support and contribute to a body of work, which will educate professionals how to better support. The author shares various experiences when opportunities to help were denied and the impact this had on recovery. It is also noted that the responses of some health professionals mirror the original trauma suffered and therefore add to distress unnecessarily.

The author has written about various experiences in different settings in which the support offered fell below professional standards and contributed to further unnecessary distress. The writing is evocative and rich in descriptive detail of the event and then implications of the event on recovery.

The author concludes that it is helpful to use experiences of being dismissed and unsupported by various professionals to contribute to a body of work, which will hopefully educate and support those in caring professions to support survivors better. The author notes that responses to requests for help can unintentionally and intentionally further exacerbate the distress already experienced by those living with traumatic early life experiences and relational abruptions.

This is the author’s unique and first-hand lived experience of reaching out for help in relation to the distress experienced as a result of early life traumatic and adversarial experiences. The author notes that it is helpful to write about these difficult experiences with the hope that they will inform educational programmes to support health professionals in how they respond to people experiencing trauma. This has helped the author regain a sense of agency in contributing to the prevention of further unhelpful responses from various health professionals to those in distress. The vignettes are rich, deeply evocative and moving. The writing process also helped the author make sense of these further difficulties and how they impacted the recovery process.
