Read all about it: Digital participation in Australian newspaper fiction (Old ID 27186)
The Project aims to transform understandings of Australian literary history by using innovative digital methods to discover, curate and investigate tens of thousands of unrecorded novels, novellas and short stories in 20thcentury Australian newspapers. It intends to advance national research capacity by facilitating collaboration, providing research training and making a substantial contribution to open-access, sustainable digital infrastructure for Australian literary studies. Expected outcomes include a new history of Australian literature and new model for participatory literary history. The Project's benefits should include expanding the National Library of Australia's records and promoting public engagement with Australian literature.
International collaborative study on the reconstruction of the history of Japanese immigrants in Australia and their influence on contemporary Japanese society
First, this study aims to elucidate the concrete experiences of Japanese migrants in Northern Queensland (QLD) from the Meiji period through the Pacific War, reconstructing their history from the perspective of those who lived and worked in the “peripheral” regions, away from national and colonial centers, under the White Australia Policy.
Second, it examines how the reconstruction and rediscovery of the once-interrupted history of Japanese migration influences the identity formation and socio-cultural activities of contemporary Nikkei communities in Australia. Third, through research activities conducted in both Japan and Australia, the study will excavate, organize, and digitize valuable historical materials on prewar and postwar Japanese migration, thereby ensuring their preservation and transmission to future generations in both countries.
Lesbian Histories of HIV and AIDS in Australia
This project seeks to platform LGBTQ media publications, HIV and AIDS campaign materials, photographs, artwork, and ephemera, created between 1983 and 1996, that speak to lesbian and queer women’s role(s) within the HIV and AIDS epidemic in Australia. There are diverse holdings in Australian libraries, museums and archives that highlight lesbian and queer women’s experiences, activism and involvement in the HIV and AIDS pandemic. However, these documents and records are dispersed across multiple institutions and are not easily navigable or locatable to the public. Our proposed website would work as a platform to highlight these materials and thus provide a portal for lesbian and queer women as well as the broader public to access less well-known stories and materials about lesbian and queer women’s role(s) in the AIDS pandemic. Last, the applicants hope that this website detailing lesbian and queer women’s specific cultural histories of the AIDS pandemic might also provide inspiration and direction for future HIV prevention campaigns directed toward lesbian and queer women.
ARC Centre of Excellence for Indigenous and Environmental Histories and Futures (Old ID 27585)
ARC Centre of Excellence for Indigenous and Environmental Histories and Futures. The proposed Centre aims to generate a new direction in knowledge creation based on Aboriginal- and Torres Strait Islander-led approaches to managing Land and Sea Country. The Centre expects to make a legacy contribution by developing complementary Indigenous and Western knowledge frameworks for modelling environmental, cultural, and historical change in Australia over the last millennium and into the near future. Expected outcomes focus on sustainable Indigenous land and sea management planning for future decades. Benefits include improved forecasting of the trajectory of environmental change, an increase in the capacity of Indigenous research, creation of a pipeline for Indigenous students into research, and evidence-based policy-making.
Transnational lives of Taiwanese working holiday makers in rural Australia (Old ID 26557)
This research is to understand the transnational lives of Taiwanese working holiday makers (WHM) in rural Australia, including their cultural, social and economic experiences, and their perception of and interaction with rural Australian society. While Taiwanese are the second largest WHM group in Australia, little is known about them, and nothing about their experience of employment in regional Australia. There is an urgent need to understand this substantial group of temporary migrants, whose presence essentially represents Taiwan to the rural Australian community, and whose labour contribution is potentially critical to the future of Australian rural development.
Prerequisite conditions for Indigenous nation self-government. (Old ID 24857)
Based on evidence that self-governance increases Indigenous socioeconomic and community capacity, this international, inter-disciplinary Project aims to investigate factors that impact on the transition from 'identifying' to 'organising' as a political collective. It expects to generate new knowledge about (1) the effectiveness of an Indigenous nation building (INB) model to initiate self-governing strategies and mechanisms; (2) how Indigenous self-governance may impact on the Australian state; (3) preconditions needed for INB 'from scratch'; and (4) an INB methodology. The Project could significantly benefit Indigenous communities; the broader Australian community; Australian governments; and Australian and international INB researchers.
High-value horticulture and global production networks in coastal Australia (Old ID 27799)
High-value horticulture is booming in Australia’s north-eastern coastal strip, where a multifunctional landscape also provides various recreational, cultural and environmental services. This project aims analyses how incorporation within agricultural global production networks interacts with diverse drivers of landscape change to shape regional development outcomes. This will contribute to global production network theory by developing the territorial nexus of these networks. Expected outcomes include improved policy formulations capable of orchestrating a sustainable and equitable future for rural regions and livelihoods within Australia, with broader contributions to understanding rural development pathway elsewhere in the world.
How does morality influence climate change adaptation? (Old ID 27634)
This project aims to understand how morality influences adaptation to climate change in the Great Barrier Reef region. This interdisciplinary project expects to generate new knowledge in the critical area of climate change adaptation. Expected outcomes include empirical insights into the connection between morality and adaptation, international collaborations, theory development, and refined methods to help identify leverage points for incorporating morality into decision-making. This should provide significant benefits including a basis for policy-making in Australia and globally, of practical significance to policy-makers seeking to support successful and just adaptation to climate change sustains livelihoods and respects local values.
Evaluating the impacts of improving postharvest processing of sea cucumbers in the western Pacific region (Old ID 21051)
Sea cucumbers are significant to Pacific Island communities as a high value export commodity - in dried form as 'beche-de-mer'. A major issue facing sea cucumber fishers is the poor quality of processing by them which reduces the value of their product and their resulting income. Support to fishers in processing sea cucumbers to a high export quality, using the best methods, will likely improve their incomes and their concept is the basis for this project. This project partners JCU with Southern Cross University and fisheries departments in Kiribati, Tonga and Fiji. The JCU component of the project will focus particularly on the potential to develop novel (non-dried) methods for sea cucumber processing which may broaden the range of products produced from sea-cucumbers, open up new markets for these products, and increase the overall value of this industry and potential benefits to Pacific Island communities.
IUCN MACBIO Project 00801: Arnavon Islands Marine Reserve Review (Old ID 23042)
The consultant will conduct a review of lessons learned from the establishment of the Arnavon Islands Community Marine Reserve Solomon Islands. The review will entail al literature review as well as interviews with key stakeholders and participants in the establishment and management of the reserve. The outputs from the review will include a technical report, one or more video products and one or more information posters. The project will involve travel to the Solomon Islands, including to the reserve and the adjacent communities.
