This project will contribute to building Australia's capacity in the area of phenomenology and connecting Australian researchers into the international network of phenomenology research. More generally the project will contribute to the broader community debate that is currently emerging around issues of the role and limits of knowledge, especially scientific knowledge, but also knowledge as it arises and is applied in organisational and social contexts, and the importance of responsibility and judgment even in areas of technical problem-solving and decision-making. In this latter respect, the project is likely to have an impact in more directly applied areas such as policy formation and decision-making across many different areas.Read moreRead less
A new framework for the re-evaluation of the quality of the built environment in Australia. This project provides a framework and ethical perspective for the re-evaluation of the quality of the built environment in Australia given the nation's changing demographics, its history of migration and assessments of the movements of its people today. It will assess the impact of globalisation, including new modes of transport and communication, building technology, land and urban development in terms o ....A new framework for the re-evaluation of the quality of the built environment in Australia. This project provides a framework and ethical perspective for the re-evaluation of the quality of the built environment in Australia given the nation's changing demographics, its history of migration and assessments of the movements of its people today. It will assess the impact of globalisation, including new modes of transport and communication, building technology, land and urban development in terms of individual and national identity. It seeks to re-evaluate the notion of Australian community in light of hitherto, little-considered transient characteristics. It seeks to question longstanding assumptions about the possibility of, and needs for a 'fixed address' upon which both individual perceptions and government policies are made.Read moreRead less

Summary
Timelessness in physics and philosophy. This project aims to offer a new approach to conceptualising the nature of time focussing on the gap between our everyday understanding of time, and the picture of time inherited from current physics. It is expected that the project will result in the generation of new knowledge that supports science communication, and strengthening research ties between the arts and science.
