Hidden histories of the teeth: The key to unlocking ancient secrets in prehistoric central Myanmar (Old ID 26945)
Anna Willis
01 Jul 2021 - 30 Jun 2027
The aim of this project is to examine isotopes in the teeth of individuals from three sites in prehistoric central Myanmar to examine diet, the movement and migration of people, and potential patterns in post-marital residence, which are all intricately linked. Built on a strong conceptual framework this project seeks to generate new information in the field of archaeological science. The research outcomes of this project will expand our current archaeological knowledge of this focal but under-researched area, which will be of particular benefit in understanding Myanmar in relation to surrounding regions and the wider Southeast Asian context, and in fostering continued collegiality and collaboration with Myanmar scholars and communities.
PS311 – JCU NQ Social Worker Placement in General Practice Expansion (Townsville & Cairns) (Old ID 29007)
Ines Zuchowski
01 Jul 2023 - 31 Mar 2026
The aim of this project is to research the benefits and challenges of social work practice in GP clinics to develop evidence-based pathways and integrated care options focused on improving holistic health outcomes for the community and in particular older people, people with chronic disease and first Nation people. This will be achieved by providing funding to GP clinics to hire and support social workers and social work students in their practice. The research will evaluate the project, document and examine the social work contributions and outcomes in GP, and investigate pathways for funding social work in GP.
Understanding long-term Indigenous uses of the Great Barrier Reef: Re-excavating the Freshwater Bay Midden, Lizard Island (Old ID 27472)
Ariana Lambrides
01 Apr 2022 - 31 Mar 2023
This project aims to document Aboriginal Late Holocene use of Great Barrier Reef offshore islands through the re-excavation of Freshwater Bay Midden on Lizard Island. After extensive physical surveys and recording of cultural places across the Lizard Island Group over the past decade it has been determined that Freshwater Bay Midden is the only remaining site with significant sub-surface deposits intact that has not yet been excavated using modern archaeological techniques. Expected outcomes include a comprehensive framework from which to consider offshore island use in northeast Australia, as well as documenting the dynamic history of Lizard Island occupation.
Re-Curating the Tropics in the era of climate change: Indigenous relationships with natural science collections in the Queensland Museum (Old ID 23071)
Rosita Henry
01 Dec 2016 - 31 Dec 2017
That Aboriginal people have made significant contributions to natural science collections in museums is little known and poorly understood. We explore relationships between natural species collectors and Aboriginal people who often helped create those collections. Our focus is no culturally significant tropical species in museum collections and how these species are represented in artefact collections. We will explore ideas about environmental change evidenced in museum practices (collecting, archiving, curating) and Aboriginal artists' responses to these ways of representing nature. In collaboration with Aboriginal artists and curators, we will begin to develop an analytical exhibition concerning environmental change in the tropics.
Improving technical and institutional capacity to support development of mariculture based livelihoods and industry in New Ireland, Papua New Guinea (Old ID 23279)
Simon Foale
01 Jan 2016 - 31 Dec 2019
The overall aim of this project is to provide a sustainable basis for the further development of a mariculture sector in PNG and to further build capacity within country partner organisations and coastal communities to support this development. Specific research objectives are: * to further develop culture and husbandry protocols for target species; * to develop community-based sea cucumber culture methodology to a level potentially supporting income generation; and * to continue building long term institutional mariculture capacity in PNG. Given the significant community benefits expected from this project, detailed economic and socio-economic assessments will be undertaken to describe project impacts.
Unravelling the mystery of the Plain of Jars, Laos (Old ID 21895)
Nigel Chang
01 Jan 2015 - 14 Jan 2020
Since their discovery in the 1930s the mysterious collection s of giant stone jars scattered throughout central Laos have remained one of the great prehistoric puzzles of SE Asia. It is thought that the jars represent the mortuary remains of an extensive and powerful Iron Age culture. This project seeks to determine the true nature of these sites which date to a dynamic period of increasing complexity in Se Asia (c.500BCE-500CE). This will be achieved through extensive reconnaissance, precision mapping, archaeological excavation and analysis of associated burial material. Using a suite of cutting-edge archaeological technologies this project will have far-reaching benefits for archaeology, science, Laos and World Heritage.
Building Teacher Capability Using STEM Partnership Models (Old ID 22736)
Tanya Doyle
22 Feb 2016 - 04 Nov 2016
We propose to establish and pilot two QSTEM Hubs - one metropolitan and one regional. Each hub will consist of three to four schools. Industry partners will be identified via our links with the Australian Industry Group (AIG) and in consultation with the school principals and Regional STEM Officers, and invited to participate. The AIG has a strong commitment to building STEM capital through industry partnerships with education, demonstrated through its STEM Skills project and STEM Program Index 2016, and has agreed to facilitate industry participation in our project. Other suitable partners such as museums, science centres, research institutes, community groups etc. will be identified through QUT connections as well as those of the schools and the department, and invited to participate.
Smart Islands Program: Fostering Collaboration between Australians and Polynesians (Old ID 26900)
Florence Boulard
01 Jun 2020 - 31 Jul 2024
This project primarily aims at contributing to the French Polynesian Smart Islands program, a spearhead initiative of the Polynesian Government. Research wise, the objective is to focus on two of the four core pillars of the program: Tourism and the Circular Economy. While applied research and transfer of expertise remain the catalyst of our contribution as a team, the project also involves broader aspects: education to issues specific to the Pacific (e.g. climate change) and student exchanges (DFTA NCP); commercial relations through the French Polynesia Regional Group and institutional partnership with Tahiti Business School, of key importance to diplomatic funding.
Prevalence, Perceptions, Motivations of and Response to Cyberbullying among Adolescents in Singapore (Old ID 25086)
Margaret Carter
17 Aug 2018 - 31 Dec 2019
This study seeks to understand the prevalence, perceptions and motivations of cyberbullying among adolescents as well as the coping behaviours, mental and emotional well-being of adolescent victims of cyberbullying among Singapore youths aged 10-16 years old. This study will also inform the design of research-based cyber wellness prevention and intervention programmes.
Uncovering the deep history of Indigenous fisheries on the Great Barrier Reef: Expanding knowledge with novel high-resolution collagen fingerprinting (Old ID 27260)
Ariana Lambrides
01 Jan 2021 - 30 Jun 2022
This project aims to document Indigenous interactions with the fish resources of the northern Great Barrier Reef (Queensland, Australia) over the past 6,500 years. Using novel analyses of archaeological fish remains, this project expects to generate new knowledge on how people’s actions transformed marine systems and modified fish communities. Expected outcomes include a long-term cultural history of the sustainability of Indigenous fisheries practices in the region, and baseline ecological data for the period prior to European occupation.
