Unravelling the mystery of the Plain of Jars, Laos (Old ID 21895)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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.
Monitoring and Evaluation for JUTE Theatre Company Transport Main Roads Dare 2 Dream Project. (Old ID 27924)
The purpose of this research is to conduct monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) for JUTE Theatre Company’s ‘Remote Road Safety Road Show’. The research will be used to improve future project delivery by JUTE Theatre Company, and to produce scholarly outputs.
Colonial Commemorative Landscapes in Australia
This project contributes to the team’s research program relating to historical memory and digital mapping. Stevenson and Brennan have complementary strengths and seek to build their collaborative capacity towards a future ARC DP application. Stevenson is a feminist historian of social movements with prior experience in the digital humanities through The Suffrage Postcard Project, a digital archive of transatlantic suffrage postcards from the 1910s. As a PI on a current ARC Discovery Project about the history of archiving social movements, she is working on historical memory and digital archiving. Brennan is an environmental historian, specialising in European exploration and digital history. Brennan’s work on the Coral Discovery Project involves digitally mapping all the European scientific voyages to the Pacific between 1768 and 1834. This new research project builds on their co-authored journal article (Minor Revisions) under consideration with a Radical History Review Special Edition: “Memory Over Forgetting: Monuments, Memorials and Intangible Heritage.”
The team’s new project aligns directly with the Centre for Heritage and Culture theme of “storied landscapes.” Digitally mapping colonial commemorative sites strengthens the CHC’s strategic research about storied landscapes. The team’s previous map of Cook monuments revealed that Captain Cook has become an indelible figure in Australia’s commemorative landscape with little connection between sites of historical significance and commemorative infrastructure. This method of digital historical inquiry enables the team to uncover, interpret, and translate the past to create new stories about the history and legacy of colonial figures. Digital mapping will allow the team to clearly tease out the tensions between historical knowledge and historical memory across these storied landscapes.
