Publication The Anne Boleyn Music Book (Royal College of Music MS 1070). Facsimile with introduction by Thomas Schmidt, David Skinner, with Katja Airaksinen-Monier. (DIAMM facsimiles, 6.) Oxford: DIAMM Publications, 2017. [Pref., p. ii; introd., p. 1–32; bibliog., p. 33–36; appendices, p. 37–54; 269 color plates. ISBN 978-1-907647-06-2 (hardback). £70.]Manuscript 1070 of the Royal College of Music (hereinafter MS 1070) has had a colorful reception in modern musicology. Half a century ago, Edward Lowinsky (“MS 1070 of the Royal College of Music in London,” Proceedings of the Royal Musical Association 96 [1969]: 1–28) proposed an elaborate narrative of court musician Mark Smeaton (ca. 1512–1536) copying MS 1070 for Anne Boleyn (ca. 1501–1536) in the last years of her life as the illfated second queen of King Henry VIII.2468 7 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Open AccessDatasetThe Canons DatabaseThis research tool was developed by Dr Denis Collins, University of Queensland, and Dr Jason Stoessel, University of New England, as part of an Australian Research Council Discovery Project (DP150102135) “Canonic techniques and musical change, c.1330–c.1530" from 2015 to 2018. Our goal has been to collect and classify every canon that survived in musical sources as late as 1530. Canon is defined here in the broadest sense as a polyphonic structure that results from one or more voices or parts being combined using strict repetition or systematic transformation. We hope that this website will provide musicians and musicologists with insights into the vibrant and creative processes that informed the composition of canons in early European music.3115 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Female convict labour and absconding rates in colonial Australia(University of Tasmania, School of History and Classics, 2017-01-01); Quinlan, MichaelIn early 1837 Mr Jones residing in Erskine Street, Sydney, discovered that two of his female convicts were missing. As he later related in court, Jones suspected that Mary Ann Mansfield and Mary Smith had gone, or intended to go, to the nearby settlement of Parramatta—a short trip away by water. Anxious to intercept his absconding servants Jones hastened down to the quay where he boarded the Experiment steamer — a vessel that made regular trips to Parramatta as well as occasional pleasure cruises on Middle Harbour. There he discovered the two women 'comfortably seated' and 'fashionably attired' in the cabin. Having clapped eyes on his absconding felon servants, Jones placed them in the custody of a constable. They were subsequently charged and each sentenced to two-months hard labour in the female House of Correction (an institution that was, ironically, located in Parramatta).966 5 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Historical forensic pathology – a "new" disciplineThose who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Sir Winston Churchill (1874–1965)
One of the failings of modern forensic pathology is that there is often very little effort made to draw upon the rich history that has been endowed by previous generations of practitioners. For example, the complex analyses and academic discourse that distinguished nineteenth century European forensic practice still stand as gold standards in some areas, however, many of the major pathologists of that time have been forgotten, along with their considerable legacies. The same lack of engagement often applies to historical events where standard documentation and conclusions are accepted despite the fact that the application of modern techniques and review of primary sources may provide an opportunity to shed new light on what actually occurred, and/or give us an increased appreciation of the complexity of certain events. The following review of a short series of papers provides an insight into the range of historical questions and issues that can be explored and analyzed under the umbrella of historical forensic research.936 5 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Honouring the life of Carolyn Kenny: Wise mentor, kind friend, and scholarly geniusIn late 2017 the creative arts therapy community learned the sad news that Professor Carolyn Bereznak Kenny passed away on October 15th having received treatment for cancer during the prior 15 months. We have lost a generous and kind person with a brilliant mind; a renowned theorist and practice champion.1111 4 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication "I leave everything": Encountering Grief with an Hazara RefugeeAustralia’s bitter refugee debate rarely includes the voices of those fleeing. Phillips uses oral history to share the story of Abdul, an Hazara refugee from Afghanistan. The chapter traces the way persecution pervaded Abdul’s life over decades, derailing aspirations, bringing personal tragedies and forcing him to leave all he held dear. It reveals the trauma of flight and the challenges of resettlement. It discusses the difficult process of encountering Abdul’s grief and examines his use of silence, metaphor and digressions as a framework in which to communicate, manage sorrow and highlight Hazaras’ plight. By privileging an Hazara perspective, this study invites empathetic imagining of the lived experience beyond the public debate and seeks to disquiet and add to Australia’s historical understanding of its recent arrivals.981 7 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Publication Making a Scene: An Analysis of Rock Art Panels from the Northwest Kimberley and Central Desert, AustraliaMany rock art studies in Australia and indeed, worldwide, have focused on the content of art assemblages: the individual motifs that together make up an engraved or painted assemblage. While earlier research frequently focused on quantitative analysis, which placed signifi cance on numerically dominant motifs (e.g., Edwards 1966; Franklin 1991; Vinnicombe 1976), research over the past four decades has expanded to incorporate contextual analyses (e.g., Bradley 2000; David and Chant 1995; Ross 1997). Stylistic changes across space and through time have been evaluated against the social and environmental contexts in which rock art was produced in order to provide explanations for the form and content of assemblages. Rather than considering art as an "object," art is seen as a "practice" (Conkey 1990: 5-17) intentionally created by individuals as a visual expression of aspects of their society. Despite these developments, the content of the assemblage remains central. Identifi cation and analysis of the relationship between motifs is likely to broaden our understandings of rock art assemblages and inform us about the ways in which past societies viewed their world.883 3 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication The Metaphor of Sweetness in Medieval and Modern Music Listening(University of California Press, Journals Division, 2021-09-01); ; Historical listening has long been a topic of interest for musicologists. Yet, little attention has been given to the systematic study of historical listening practices before the common practice era (c.1700–present).In the first study of its kind, this research compared a model of medieval perceptions of "sweetness" based on writings of medieval music theorists with modern day listeners' aesthetic responses. Responses were collected through two experiments. In an implicit associations experiment, participants were primed with a more or less consonant musical excerpt, then presented with a sweet or bitter target word, or a non-word, on which to make lexical decisions. In the explicit associations experiment, participants were asked to rate on a three-point Likert scale perceived sweetness of short musical excerpts that varied in consonance and sound quality (male, female, organ). The results from these experiments were compared to predictions from a medieval perception model to investigate whether early and modern listeners have similar aesthetic responses. Results from the implicit association test were not consistent with the predictions of the model, however, results from the explicit associations experiment were. These findings indicate the metaphor of sweetness may be useful for comparing the aesthetic responses of medieval and modern listeners.1218 6 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Penal Transportation, Family History, and Convict TourismThe chapter explores the gap between the lived experience of Australia's founding convict mothers and fathers and heritage site portrayals of penal transportation. It focuses particularly on Tasmania, formerly known as Van Diemen's Land-which operated as a British penal colony in the years 1803-1853. We argue that a disproportionate number of convict heritage sites are located in former punishment stations. As such, much of the discourse about convict heritage interpretation has centered on the more brutal end of the system. While the use of punishment as a means of eliciting labor from convict bodies was an important part of convict experience, the measure of pain extracted was disproportionately borne by a few.

Publication Queering our pedagogy: Advancing the training of creative arts therapistsThe curriculum design within creative arts therapy courses is often strongly linked to accreditation. Accountability for reference to marginalised and outsider populations can be pushed to one side in favour of a focus on knowledge of diseases and disorders; avoiding attention to the secondary problems that arise for people when the burden of disease of diagnosis of a disorder bring the additional challenge of having to live in a society that is designed for the able bodied. Similarly without attention to the challenges of outsider status in society which include greater burden of mental distress, and decreased quality of life, therapists in training are ill-prepared for the complexity of practice (Bain et al., 2016; Talwar, 2010). Queering the curriculum is one way to ensure students have access to information and self-reflection that allow them the readiness and openness to work with people from all walks of life; engaging through queer identity or the position of ally (Baines & Pereira, In press).1022 4 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Publication Open AccessConference PublicationThe Relevance of Digital Humanities to the Analysis of late Medieval/Early Renaissance MusicIn a seminal publication on computational and comparative musicology, Nicholas Cook argued more than a decade ago that recent developments in computational musicology presented a significant opportunity for disciplinary renewal. Musicology, he said, was on the brink of new phase wherein "objective representations of music" could be rapidly and accurately compared and analysed using computers. Cook's largely retrospective conspectus of what I and others now call digital musicology-following the vogue of digital humanities-might seem prophetical, yet in other ways it cannot be faulted for missing its mark when it came to developments in the following decade. While Cook laid the blame for its delayed advent on the cultural turn in musicology, digital musicology today-which is more a way of enhancing musicological research than a particular approach in its own right-is on the brink of another revolution of sorts that promises to bring diverse disciplinary branches closer together. In addition to the extension of types of computer-assisted analysis already familiar to Cook, new generic models of data capable of linking music, image (including digitisations of music notation), sound and documentation are poised to leverage musicology into the age of the semantic World Wide Web. At the same time, advanced forms of computer modelling are being developed that simulate historical modes of listening and improvisation, thereby beginning to address research questions relevant to current debates in music cognition, music psychology and cultural studies, and musical creativity in the Middle Ages, Renaissance and beyond.2537 55 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Reorganising foraging during the Late Holocene: The archaeology of NEP23, Central AustraliaIncreasing populations in Central Australia after 1,500 cal BP led to the development of more closely spaced foraging territories, with a consequent shift towards more intensive exploitation of bush foods. We suggest that such pressure would also lead to concomitant shifts in the use of peripheral areas within individual foraging estates. A small archaeological excavation at NEP23, on Watarrka Plateau in Central Australia, provides a glimpse of this dynamic. Use of this site began around 1,350 cal BP. Given this site's marginal location, initiation of occupation at NEP23 reflects pressure to extend the exploitation of foraging territory otherwise centred on major springs and rock holes along the base of the Watarrka Plateau.

Publication Open AccessConference PublicationRevising MEI for Research on Late Medieval ManuscriptsThis paper illustrates opportunities for revising the current Chant and Mensural modules of the Music Encoding Initiative for encoding music notation from before c.1500. Repurposing data collected over the last three decades in Scribe music encoding software required a bespoke MEI module, which we have called NeoScribe. The Scribe project has benefited from the long-term investigation and implementation of methods for the efficient encoding of late medieval music notation. With Scribe, users are able to represent every meaningful scribal mark on the written page, something that is not currently possible in the current MEI Chant and Mensural modules. In converting Scribe data to a MEI-compliant XML, we recognised the need to retain Scribe's nuance-rich encoding of medieval musical notation. For zero dataloss, new elements and data types were added to MEI for encoding late medieval chant and mensural notation. We demonstrate some of NeoScribe's enhanced features for encoding 14th-century repertoires. We conclude by discussing some of the benefits of revising the MEI Chant and Mensural modules for projects investigating music from before c.1500.1343 25 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication The Rise and Fall of Penal TransportationMany societies have either transported convicted prisoners to a place of coerced labor or sold them as slaves. From the fifteenth to the twentieth centuries several European states made extensive use of penal transportation to supply labor to overseas colonies. A practice that operated in parallel to the Atlantic and Indian Ocean slave trades, penal transportation was applied to both prisoners sentenced in European courts and those convicted in the colonies. Emerging at the same time as galley service and the workhouse, transportation expanded the range of sentencing options available to early modern states. Although criticized by European penal reformers in the nineteenth century because of its close association with slavery and other exploitative labor extraction systems, penal transportation survived into the twentieth century, largely because it was comparatively cheap and provided a means of punishing both metropolitan and colonial offenders.1110 8 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication Robert Edwards and the history of Australian rock art researchWorking in the 1960s, Robert (Bob) Edwards was a key figure in the development of research into Australian rock art. He was one of the first rock art scholars to attempt a quantitative and comparative survey of rock engravings in south and central Australia. In this paper, we examine the development of his work on rock engravings, the intellectual context for his research, and the problems he addressed. Edwards’ research took place during a decade when rock art research became more systematic, analytical and quantitative. Although Edwards’ research on rock engravings was influential, his subsequent career shows a shift from an antiquarian interest in which he regarded rock art as an archaeological relic of an ancient Australia, to a more humanist perspective, where he began to appreciate that many of the sites that he regarded as ancient were part of a living tradition.821 2 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Publication The State, Convicts and Longitudinal AnalysisIn 2006 the Records of the Tasmanian Convict Department were inscribed on the UNESCO Memory of the World Register. This extraordinarily intact collection of records document the lives of 73,000 male and female prisoners transported to Van Diemen's Land. This article examines ways in which this information can be used to explore the impact of forced labour migration on the lives of convicts. It focuses in particular on the assembly of cradle-to-grave datasets. Such longitudinal approaches to the past can be powerful, especially where they involve the analysis of multiple life course events for a large number of individuals. The first part of the article explores ways in which quantitative approaches can be used to reconstruct the circumstances that shaped the creation of record groups. The second part examines the way in which longitudinal analysis can be used to analyse the impact of state action on the lives of convicts.957 3 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Publication Open AccessConference PublicationUsing Optical Music Recognition to Encode 17th-Century Music Prints: The Canonic Works of Paolo Agostini (c.1583-1629) as a Test CaseThere have been several attempts to improve the retrieval of symbolic music information by Optical Music Recognition (OMR) to increase the “searchability” of digital music libraries of early music prints and to facilitate the collection of data for musicological research. Their success has varied. This report describes a new online OMR system based upon industry-standard platforms to automate the encoding of early 17th-century music prints. Due to our research on composers of canons in early 17th-century Rome, we have used as a test case the early music prints of Paolo Agostini. Agostini was maestro di cappella at St Peter’s Basilica and the most active exponent of advanced contrapuntal techniques, especially canon, in Rome in the 1620s. We developed a digital tool to process images of Agostini’s printed music and to classify 7,092 automatically selected objects according to 38 music symbols using supervised learning with convolutional neural networks (CNN). The resulting system, IntelliOMR, exhibits up to an average of 99% accuracy for classifying unseen items after 50 training epochs. It has proven effective for rapidly encoding all of Agostini’s works in the Music Encoding Initiative’s XML format for a critical edition and computer-assisted musical analysis. The approach and design of this digital tool offer significant opportunities for enhancing digital library systems and for future research projects investigating digital corpora of early printed music.1672 7
