This project investigates how a minority language community, the Bhutanese, strategically responds to the growing problem of digital colonialism on the Internet. Through a comparative study of English and Dzongkha Wikipedias, it will produce detailed analysis of the ways an oral culture transfers knowledge online and how collaborative media platforms can contribute to cultural resilience. Expected outcomes include new digital applications and insights into emerging knowledge practices and institutions. This will provide significant benefits including new pathways to online inclusion for minority cultures, new methods of decolonization and insights into orality in the digital era.Read moreRead less

This project aims to assess the success of satellite cities, conceived as possible solutions to the urgent challenge of rapid urban growth in today’s megacities. Through an ethnography of an Indian satellite city, Mahindra World City, this project aims to generate knowledge on new urban formations and the consequences of experiments in urban development for different socio-economic groups. Understanding the lived experiences of residents/workers in satellite cities aims to form a robust evidence base for research driven dialogue with policy makers, planners and developers. Lessons derived are expected to inform policy and practice as to how to achieve wellbeing for urban residents, while providing indications of Asia’s urban futures.Read moreRead less

Development communication, media and peace in protracted displacement. In contexts of protracted displacement such as refugee camps, cultural, religious differences, and the influence of violent extremist groups create an unstable environment for young people. There is a lack of research on the use of development communication interventions aimed at promoting peace in these contexts. This is a case study analysis of media projects in three refugee camps located in different geographical areas. T ....Development communication, media and peace in protracted displacement. In contexts of protracted displacement such as refugee camps, cultural, religious differences, and the influence of violent extremist groups create an unstable environment for young people. There is a lack of research on the use of development communication interventions aimed at promoting peace in these contexts. This is a case study analysis of media projects in three refugee camps located in different geographical areas. The intended outcome is to generate evidence on a development communication approach that addresses humanitarian needs while simultaneously triggering mechanisms that initiate longer-term community and social development. The focus is on media use by displaced young people living in protracted situations of encampment.Read moreRead less

Migrant Masculinities: The Impact of Migration on Gender Identity Among Immigrant Men from Non-English-speaking backgrounds in Australia. This research project proposes a comparative inquiry into the subjectivities of men who have migrated to Australia from six culturally diverse regions of the world. It intends to investigate the effects of migration on the (re)construction of male gender identity and men's attitudes in relation to women.

This research project proposes a comparative inquiry into the subjectivities of men who have migrated to Australia from six culturally diverse regions of the world. It intends to investigate the effects of migration on the (re)construction of male gender identity and men's attitudes in relation to women. In understanding the ways in which men from other cultures negotiate what it means to be a man in Australia, it will fill a major and increasingly important gap in our knowledge about contemporary masculinity and it will make a significant contribution to an understanding of the gendered dimensions of the migration experience.
