DIRECTOR’S oVerView

in 2008 the centre continued its research seminar series, augmenting this with a number of high-profile special

events, as detailed elsewhere in this report. these events attracted a number of national and international

visitors to the centre, either as presenters or participants, further contributing to the strong research

environment we have fostered.

it was particularly pleasing to welcome three new curtin Fellows to the centre this year, bringing our

complement of curtin Fellows to five.

A number of members moved on to other appointments. we thank them for their contribution and wish them

well in their future capacities. the centre’s Associateship scheme also allowed two other researchers to work

with centre members on a variety of projects.

the researcher development program was extended with sessions on a variety of research skills, statistical

techniques and approaches to academic publication.

it was especially pleasing to note a doubling of research projects and publications over the already impressive

results from 2007.

these and related activities will continue into and through 2009, when we will also be mounting a major national

event in canberra.

Professor Graham seal Am

Director

AIMS and Philosophy

the centre for Advanced studies in Australia, Asia and the Pacific (cAsAAP), established in 2006, aims to

understand the changing relationship between Australia and the countries of Asia and the southwest Pacific.

cAsAAP members are drawn from a wide range of disciplines and intellectual orientations and seek to foster

closer links between Australian, Asian and Pacific studies.

the centre’s values stem from the broad research traditions of the humanities and the social sciences, valuing

collegiality, critical analysis, intellectual engagement and the communication of knowledge throughout the

academy and beyond.

CUrrENT rESEArCh

the centre has three main areas of research:

social-cultural, economic, political and environmental change in Australia, Asia and the southwest Pacific;

Asian, southwest Pacific and related ethnic communities within Australia and the region, and

changing relations between Australia, Asia and the southwest Pacific.

under the rubric ‘regional intersections’, the centre operates a broad research agenda that provides for a range of specialist activities within a cross-disciplinary framework.

to progress these activities the centre has developed three major research foci within which are pursued a number of cognate themes. members of the centre are mostly involved in two, sometimes three of these research themes, providing for collaborative cross-disciplinary outcomes. each of the themes is under continual review, while the research foci are reviewed regularly to ensure ongoing relevance, to allow for emerging and innovative research developments and to accommodate membership changes within the tier 1 group.

Cultural Identities:

national identity/ies Gender and sexuality class formations race and ethnicity indigeneity, colonialism/post-

colonialism childhood literature language and

media

Regional Transformations

heritage tourism regional development health social and cultural policy sustainable environments natural resource

management, and sustainable livelihoods

International and Inter-regional Relations

terrorism and fundamentalism refugees, asylum seekers,

immigration war and peace,

memorialisation transnational political and

social movements human rights Government and political

systems Global environmental change.

most cAsAAP research is cross-disciplinary in nature, applying knowledge and insights derived from both discipline-specific and inter-disciplinary research. cAsAAP members typically work in a number of cognate and/or contiguous fields, seeking to understand complex social, cultural, economic, strategic, historical and contemporary movements, issues, events, trends, many of which have extremely important consequences within, between and beyond our focus regions.

ccAsAAP has developed a comprehensive approach to research training that transfers existing expertise within the group from those who have it to those who will benefit from it. At the same time, the approach aims to stimulate a cooperative research environment within which members may further develop their research interests and also identify potential research partners within the group.

Program of development funding for support of primarily Arc grant applications, publications and targeted conference contributions and associated outcomes

ongoing workshop series relating to publication, grant-getting skills, research project management, etc.

mentoring available as required on individual and small group basis

counselling of individual researchers when required

hot groups (small-medium groups including both Acr/s and ecr/mcrs with focus on a specific research outcome, usually grant or book)
