Enlightened Explorations?: Revisioning Gender and Sexuality in British and French Exploratory Voyages of the Pacific. This project aims to compare the representations of gender and sexuality on British and French exploratory voyages of the Pacific from the late eighteenth to the mid- nineteenth century. Starting from the islands of Samoa (Tcherkézoff ) and Vanuatu (Jolly), we will consider the centrality of gender and sexuality in categorizations of different ?races? or ?nations? and especially ....Enlightened Explorations?: Revisioning Gender and Sexuality in British and French Exploratory Voyages of the Pacific. This project aims to compare the representations of gender and sexuality on British and French exploratory voyages of the Pacific from the late eighteenth to the mid- nineteenth century. Starting from the islands of Samoa (Tcherkézoff ) and Vanuatu (Jolly), we will consider the centrality of gender and sexuality in categorizations of different ?races? or ?nations? and especially the distillation of the contrast between Polynesia and Melanesia. These voyages were foundational not just for enduring European visions of the Pacific but for Islander perceptions of and relations with Europeans, and later transformations of indigenous patterns of gender and sexuality.Read moreRead less
Mapping the past using advanced technologies: Satellite applications for uncovering archaeological remains at Angkor. The University of Venice is a leader in remote sensing in archaeology, particularly the use of multispectral image analysis, while Australian researchers are at the forefront of research in Cambodia in a number of fields. Australia will benefit in particular from the transfer of expertise in remote sensing archaeology from Europe, where the use of these methods in archaeology is ....Mapping the past using advanced technologies: Satellite applications for uncovering archaeological remains at Angkor. The University of Venice is a leader in remote sensing in archaeology, particularly the use of multispectral image analysis, while Australian researchers are at the forefront of research in Cambodia in a number of fields. Australia will benefit in particular from the transfer of expertise in remote sensing archaeology from Europe, where the use of these methods in archaeology is very well-established. This project will provide an excellent opportunity for the transfer of knowledge and expertise between the two groups; provide a framework for enduring cooperation; and enhance Australia's reputation as a leader in innovative applications of technology in the humanities and social sciences.Read moreRead less
