Definitional Debate (Cultural Safety) – Errors and Ethics in Publications
It boils down to this: Williams’ (1998) unpublished paper has an ordinary paragraph on p. 15 of Appendix 3, about cultural safety. That paragraph was re-phrased as a “definition” in Bin-Sallik’s (2003) paper. Bin-Sallik intellectually credits Williams. In the Williams (1999) publication, intellectual credit goes to Eckermann et al. (1994). There is no resemblance between…… Continue reading Definitional Debate (Cultural Safety) – Errors and Ethics in Publications
Cultural Safety Definition Debate – Intellectual Property and Copyright
It boils down to this: Bin-Sallik cites Williams’ (1998) paragraph as a “definition” (not factually correct) but gives intellectual credit to Williams’ (1999) journal article noting p. 213. Williams (1999) intellectually credited her definition to Eckermann et al. (1994), whose definition bears no resemblance to Williams’! Now, Williams’ paragraph-come-definition is uncredited in the book (Culture,…… Continue reading Cultural Safety Definition Debate – Intellectual Property and Copyright
Closing the Gap Report 2021 – Cultural Safety = Reduced Racism in Government Services?
I’ve been in health policy analysis since 2004, and before that – from 1998 – in various health roles in Aboriginal health. Thus, I’ve seen a lot of governments spruik their reports and expenditure about First Nations Australians. It’s all glamorous and glitzy in the reports, in front of the cameras, and on the news.…… Continue reading Closing the Gap Report 2021 – Cultural Safety = Reduced Racism in Government Services?

Author Cultural Identity Matters
The concept of introducing cultural identity as a component of an author’s credentials could be a meaningful action to acknowledge and respect Indigenous authors involved in rural health research and manuscripts.
Welcome to cultural safety editing
[et_pb_section][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text] What’s cultural safety have to do with editing? Editing is a relational process between the author and the editor and many other people – it’s more than grammar and technical editing. It’s respecting your cultural voice in decisions about language use, document structure, writing style, and grammar. I argue that including your cultural…… Continue reading Welcome to cultural safety editing
Education Qualifications – Scientific Rigour
[et_pb_section admin_label=”section”] [et_pb_row admin_label=”row”] [et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text”] I bring scientific rigour to editing and cultural safety. Rigour in the sense used here is “strictness” in the development and application of scientific research. It means that every aspect of the research must be justified, verified, and replified (my word! from replication). My research needs to go…… Continue reading Education Qualifications – Scientific Rigour
