Funded Activity Summary

Hiroshima and Here: A Cultural History of Australian Responses to Nuclear War and Weaponry. This project comes at an historical moment when Australia is more enmeshed in nuclearism than ever. As the nation considers the political, economic and moral implications of being a major world supplier of uranium during a period of extreme regional and global instability, and as it contemplates its own possible nuclear-powered future, this is exceptionally timely research. In providing a ground-breaking model of national cultural response to one of the great international issues of our age, it will help foster academic activity and public interest in a developing field whose importance can only increase.
