Chapter 3: TB-39-3, CASSIN YOUNG. You can't read about Cassin Young and the USS Vestal without learning more about another veteran of the Pearl Harbor attack - the USS San Francisco (CA-38).

What can schools do? A lot! Under positive duty legislative requirements organisations are required to take action that helps to prevent harassment, abuse or violence for staff. Could it be argued that there is by extension an obligation for schools to take preventative action in a similar way for students? Schools may argue they don’t have to so they won’t, but is this ethical? Does this demonstrate care? If schools can play a part in preventing violence & harm, but choose not to, could this be considered vicarious liability? And with one of the recognised contributing factors of gender based violence being gender equality, how should we feel about schools who do not prioritise #genderequality, or those which in some instances, work actively against equality even when they are presented with an opportunity to be more equitable, but refuse? I think it was renowned expert Jackson Katz, Ph.D. That recently said that “if you’re not actively part of the solution, then you are part of the problem.” If schools are enforcing rigid gender stereotypes or inequity through their policies & practices, could this be suggestive evidence that they are part of the problem? Recall our recent research into schools that revealed a significant gender equity gap between public & private schools with the latter being much more likely to have sexist & discriminative approaches: https://lnkd.in/gnjg_fn8 And this pilot research is just a sample, with gender inequity in schools being researched & evidenced for many years by leading academics & experts, yet the governing bodies seem to sustain these patriarchal habits that are now out of line with modern societal expectations: https://lnkd.in/gg6DDwsh Our Watch Cara Gleeson Patricia Kinnersly Coleen MacKinnon Jane Caro AM MATE Bystander Program Mate Bystander Curtin Shaan Ross-Smith Independent Schools Australia Independent Schools Queensland Independent Schools Victoria Association of Independent Schools of NSW Australian Government Department of Education Queensland Department of Education Jason Clare MP Di Farmer Dr Niki Vincent Micaela Cronin Emeritus Professor Rosalind Croucher AM Anne Hollonds Linda Colley Sandy Bolton MP Edward Carroll Susanne Gannon Leanne Higham Erika K Smith Barcley Consulting Leonie Rowan Ahmed Moustafa Elena Marchetti Sanuri De Silva Maria Josefa Arias Samantha Keir Sharon Patrick Anthony Reinhart Dr Rachael Jefferson (formerly Jefferson-Buchanan) Sonia Naomi Smith Rebecca Cox Erin Morley #equity #equality #gender #genderequity #genderequality #inclusion #humanrights #prevention #schools #education #bystander #gbv #respectfulrelationships #coercivecontrol #violence #research #evidence #patriarchy

PRC Shipbuilding: Naval and Commercial A Working Paper Exploring the Relationship Between China's Naval and Commercial Shipbuilding Joel B. Predd, William Kim, Jay Carroll Published Sep 4, 2024 The People's Republic of China's (PRC's) maritime power and presence have grown significantly since the 2000s. In this paper, the authors examine the relationship between PRC commercial and naval shipbuilding industries and what drives this relationship. Their analysis spans national, regional, and local shipyard trends. This paper serves as a first look at what can become a more expansive study rather than as an authoritative evaluation.

Good article regarding Vinson; however, it completely ignores his segregationist and white supremacist past, as largely does his biographer. I've read parts of it, and find it lacking in balance, as is this article. There is much more written about Stennis and his actions regarding race, but Vinson has unclean hands on the issue. Perhaps that's why the issue is avoided in this article. Sharing only the shiny parts does a disservice to the real history. https://lnkd.in/eEURX8X8

🚨Must Listen This succinct talk (18 min) frames a better way to understand required institutions to maintain effective national maritime strategy. The results of the shift from the Admiralty in 1964 to the MoD model brings forth a parallel to how the US began transforming its National view on the sea after the Natl Sec Act of 1947 and the creation of the National Military Establishment. https://lnkd.in/eqj-9n7C
