Funded Activity Summary

Augustus Earle (1793-1838) and the roles of humanism and science in interpreting the world and its peoples. The study relates to two national concerns. The first is Australia's capacity to understand and engage with its global environment. A closer understanding of Earle's and other artists' engagement with peoples around the world will feed the interest in past appraisals that already exists in global tourism. Secondly, a study of a past, influential form of collaboration between science and art will shed light on the issues in cross-disciplinary and cross-sectoral research collaborations between the arts and sciences in our own day. The study addresses an issue currently being considered by governments around the world, and in Australia by the Prime Minister's Science, Engineering and Innovation Council.
