Funded Activity Summary

The Economics of Birds: Colonial Australia's Relationship to Native Species. This project aims to produce the first comprehensive analysis of native bird species in the cultural, scientific, and economic life of colonial Australia. It expects to generate new knowledge about Australia’s environmental imagination, identity and practices locally, nationally and globally. Anticipated outcomes include new insights into the circulation, cultural meanings and uses of species and species knowledge and the tensions between enchantment and pragmatism in creative, affective and material responses to birdlife. This should significantly benefit understandings of Australia’s past and present by mapping its historical relationships to bird species and producing new insights into the pressing ecological concerns of today.
