Transitions to adulthood among young people in migrant families in Australia and Canada: A comparative study. Canada and Australia have had the world's highest immigration rates in recent decades. Central to the success of an immigration programme is the level of integration on immigrants themselves but, more importantly, their children. Australian research has led the world in this field. However, there is much to be gained for the mutual benefit of both countries through comparative research u ....Transitions to adulthood among young people in migrant families in Australia and Canada: A comparative study. Canada and Australia have had the world's highest immigration rates in recent decades. Central to the success of an immigration programme is the level of integration on immigrants themselves but, more importantly, their children. Australian research has led the world in this field. However, there is much to be gained for the mutual benefit of both countries through comparative research using a common framework. More broadly, as demography takes on much greater significance with population aging, there is much to be gained through international cooperation between ANU Demography and Canada's leading centre for demography, the University of Montreal.Read moreRead less
Ion implantation engineered photonic devices for use in highly integrated silicon optoelectronic circuits. This project establishes a collaboration with Canada's leading integrated silicon photonics research group thus tapping into years of valuable experience transferable to Australian-based researchers. The involvement of students as well as early career researchers ensures a new generation of Australian experts in this field. The importance of silicon photonics means that Australia must estab ....Ion implantation engineered photonic devices for use in highly integrated silicon optoelectronic circuits. This project establishes a collaboration with Canada's leading integrated silicon photonics research group thus tapping into years of valuable experience transferable to Australian-based researchers. The involvement of students as well as early career researchers ensures a new generation of Australian experts in this field. The importance of silicon photonics means that Australia must establish a strong research program in the area to maintain its current position as being at the forefront of leading-edge research. This is only possible through collaborations such as that proposed here.Read moreRead less
Nonlocal nonlinear waves. This project will help to maintain the status of the Laser Physics Centre as the leading group in Australia and on the international arena in the field of nonlinear optics. Innovative and original ideas of fundamental importance emanating from this project would significantly strengthen this reputation. This project will expand the existing collaboration with our Danish partners. It will have an impact on the understanding of the soliton phenomena in many diverse fields ....Nonlocal nonlinear waves. This project will help to maintain the status of the Laser Physics Centre as the leading group in Australia and on the international arena in the field of nonlinear optics. Innovative and original ideas of fundamental importance emanating from this project would significantly strengthen this reputation. This project will expand the existing collaboration with our Danish partners. It will have an impact on the understanding of the soliton phenomena in many diverse fields providing knowledge which may be subsequently transferred to practical technologies. The research will provide training and experience for post-doctorate researchers as well as graduate and undergraduate students.Read moreRead less
Melpa Kang Rom: A chanted narrative genre from Highland New Guinea and its role in contemporary electoral politics. Across a large region of Highland PNG there are flourishing traditions of chanted tales. These are the subject of a current ARC Discovery project based at ANU, which focuses on both the poetic features of these genres and on their political uses. We seek to augment this project through the participation of Dr. Joseph Ketan, an anthropologist with unique qualifications in that he co ....Melpa Kang Rom: A chanted narrative genre from Highland New Guinea and its role in contemporary electoral politics. Across a large region of Highland PNG there are flourishing traditions of chanted tales. These are the subject of a current ARC Discovery project based at ANU, which focuses on both the poetic features of these genres and on their political uses. We seek to augment this project through the participation of Dr. Joseph Ketan, an anthropologist with unique qualifications in that he comes from the project area, with an insider's knowledge of a local genre of chanted tales and its contexts of use in electoral campaigns, and with extensive previous research in relevant areas of political anthropology. The project will contribute to the cross-cultural study of verbal art, and to and the understanding of contemporary electoral politics in PNG.Read moreRead less
Testimonial narratives in the post-colonial era. This project aims to benefit the Australian public by analysing some of the ways testimony has been used as a means of coming to terms with the past in Australia. It aims to amplify the significance of Australian collections, such as the Bringing Them Home Oral History archive at the National Library, both within Australia and internationally, and thereby bring Australian materials and experiences into transnational discussions of testimony and co ....Testimonial narratives in the post-colonial era. This project aims to benefit the Australian public by analysing some of the ways testimony has been used as a means of coming to terms with the past in Australia. It aims to amplify the significance of Australian collections, such as the Bringing Them Home Oral History archive at the National Library, both within Australia and internationally, and thereby bring Australian materials and experiences into transnational discussions of testimony and contested histories. It aims to benefit the research communities in Canada and Australia by providing an interpretative framework for researching and teaching testimonial materials, and by strengthening links between the two countries.Read moreRead less
Urban Imaginaries/Cultural Landscapes: An Asia-Pacific Transnational and Cross-Cultural Research Collaboration. The aim of the program is to foster research collaboration between the ANU's Humanities Research Centre and Lingnan University's Cultural Research and Development Program by examining public culture, transnational culture, urban landscapes and urban cultural identities in the contemporary Asia-Pacific and Australian context. We will do this by extending ties with researchers from the ....Urban Imaginaries/Cultural Landscapes: An Asia-Pacific Transnational and Cross-Cultural Research Collaboration. The aim of the program is to foster research collaboration between the ANU's Humanities Research Centre and Lingnan University's Cultural Research and Development Program by examining public culture, transnational culture, urban landscapes and urban cultural identities in the contemporary Asia-Pacific and Australian context. We will do this by extending ties with researchers from the region including early career and students and by developing a comparative cross-cultural methodology capable of encompassing specific socio-historical patterns and processes of dynamically changing public cultural formations in contemporary urban centres in the Asia-Pacific, including Australia. Specific outcomes include a book, e-journal and a multi-media exhibition.
