Colouring graphs and hypergraphs is a key problem in many fields including scheduling, computing derivatives, cryptography, and coding theory. This project will apply a revolutionary method called "entropy compression" to produce new mathematical tools and algorithms for colouring graphs and hypergraphs. These results will have significant ramifications for the above applications, and will also be of fundamental importance in graph theory itself.

Recently, researchers have developed new methods for studying the regularity of solutions to these equations, and applied them to a different problem, that of estimating quantities depending on the smaller eigenvalues of a Schroedinger operator. This project builds on the early success of this research and will produce a new understanding of the behaviour of eigenvalues, establish sharp estimates for spectral quantities, particularly on manifolds with curvature bounds, and find optimal conditions under which non-compact solutions to curvature flows are stable.

It is highly efficient in analysing signals in homogeneous media such as wave propagation through the air that underpins wireless communication technology. However, wave propagation through inhomogeneous media, such as the human body in medical imaging or the Earth in geophysical imaging, is much harder to model. Phenomena with random components, as considered in finance for instance, are also problematic. This project is an important part of an intense international research effort to develop harmonic analysis in such rough contexts.

These problems are formulated as inverse problems in partial differential equations (PDE) where one wishes to obtain information about a differential equation from data about its solutions. This problem is not well understood in the geometric setting where the PDE is taking place on a manifold and the goal of this research is to advance the field in this direction. This project will introduce novel and innovative ideas from geometry and topology to overcome some of these difficulties. This project will enrich mathematics by providing links between different fields. Furthermore, it will enable the application of imaging techniques in a broader geometric setting to provide more efficient and accurate non-invasive detection techniques. 0102 APPLIED MATHEMATICS

Predictive and interpretive tools are required to improve our understanding of collective cell migration in relation to cancer and chronic wounds. This project will produce new validated mathematical tools for predicting collective cell migration in a general framework that can deal with application-specific details, such as the role of cell shape and cell size. Although cell shape and size are known to affect collective cell migration, standard mathematical models ignore these details. This project will produce new predictive mathematical modelling tools that are validated by new experimental data.

This project will analyse their roles in improving predictions of spreading extents and rates for geophysical-scale problems, and in controlling transport at the micro-scale. Inaccuracies in currently available numerical diagnostics for transport prediction will be comprehensively evaluated via comparison with recent exact models. Analytical methods for quantifying transport under unsteady flow protocols will be developed, and used to answer questions on controlling transport in microfluidic applications in conjunction with experimentalists.

The key challenge is to develop a multi- scale modelling framework that is capable of bridging the gap between biochemical and biophysical sub-cellular processes, cell-cell interactions and the large scale multicellular properties of tissues composed of large cell populations. This will require the design of novel mathematical approximation techniques and application of high performance parallel computing technology specifically adapted for the description of multicellular systems. 0103 NUMERICAL AND COMPUTATIONAL MATHEMATICS

Very high dimensional problems arise in finance, statistics, physics and many other application areas. For example, in option pricing, maximum likelihood estimation in health statistics, and porous flow through a random medium. In this project, the theory of very high dimensional computation will be developed in step with applications, with the applications being chosen to help in shaping the theory. The project involves interdisciplinary collaborations and aims to develop frontier technologies for tackling realistic high dimensional problems.

These multi-relational data can be mathematically modelled as tensors. The tensor extreme eigenvalue problem, which is concerned with extracting the most significant qualitative information from multi-relational data, plays a key role in modern data analysis. This project aims at developing innovative global optimisation frameworks and reliable numerical methods for tensor extreme eigenvalue problems, and applying the proposed methods to solve various practical problems arising from important application areas such as modern data analysis, medical imaging science and signal processing.

The potential for future severe pandemics also continues to present a substantial threat to our health and well-being. Mathematics and statistics are increasingly becoming part of the arsenal used by governments to combat the invasion and spread of infectious diseases. In such work, three themes have emerged as having the potential to revolutionise the modelling of infectious diseases: stochasticity, structure (both age and spatial), and inference. This project will develop state-of-the-art techniques, at the interface of these themes, of critical importance to understanding the dynamics of infectious diseases.

Some of the major difficulties are caused by the lack of direct access to quantities of interest, and the more intricate structure of the available data. Motivated by applications in areas such as cancer and genetic studies, infectious disease, environmental pollution, and public health and nutrition, this project aims to develop novel and highly effective statistical methodology for solving contemporary problems involving new types of imperfectly observed data. The expected outcomes will solve frontier problems, where information can only be accessed through sophisticated computer intensive methods. 0105 MATHEMATICAL PHYSICS

For colloidal systems, specifically hard spheres, this project will utilise new algorithms to attack long standing questions about the nature of the virial series. For self-avoiding walks and related models of polymers, research studies have recently developed radically improved Monte Carlo simulation algorithms. These algorithms will enable this project to simulate polymers which may be as long as DNA, and to calculate physical properties with unprecedented precision. The software developed for studying polymers will be released as an open source software library which will revolutionise the field of polymer simulation.

The question is critical to understanding the evolution of the Universe. This project will address four questions: Does turbulence determine the mass of stars? How do magnetic fields in the star formation process change the mass distribution of stars? Can we model the formation of stars on the scale of observed stellar nurseries in the Milky Way? What are the starting ingredients for planet formation? The project will achieve this by performing the world's largest and most detailed supercomputer simulations of star cluster formation, while developing new algorithms and simulation methods for fluid dynamics, building collaborations across six countries and publicly releasing a major simulation code.

It will use a technique that has detected the most distant supernovae, probing 12 billion years into the past, and one that is able to discover, for the first time, the deaths of the first stars to have formed after the Big Bang. This project will use this technique to gather a statistical sample of supernovae to determine their occurrence rate and physical properties and to provide crucial data for a newly discovered, extremely powerful, third type of supernova. This data will test the laws in which early galaxies formed their stars and reveal the framework for the subsequent evolution of the Universe.

Radial velocity and transit techniques have shown that planetary systems are extremely varied and complex, with the secrets to their taxonomy buried at the earliest epochs of planetary system evolution. This project will directly image these earliest stages of planetary formation through innovative algorithms that make best use of the largest infrared telescopes in the world, utilising their full diffraction limit. Resulting images will be combined with advanced collaborative modelling and the use of the latest Australian spectroscopic surveys and instrumentation, in order to unravel the secrets of planetary birth.

Of particular interest is the detection of gravitational waves from astrophysical sources. Technology developed in this project will be able to see gravitational forces from slow moving mass at great distances away. Implementation of this technology will enhance the terrestrial gravitational wave detectors to observe at lower frequencies. This project will ensure Australia's continued involvement in the international Advanced LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational Observatory) project and guarantee Australian participation in the first direct detection of gravitational waves.

This project will characterise fundamental open questions on the origin and evolution of the first galaxies and probe cosmic reionization and its topology. It will provide a set of observations complementary to those with radio telescopes, including the Square Kilometre Array that studies the intergalactic medium, and pave the way for observations of systems that will evolve into massive galaxy clusters in today's Universe.

This remarkable fact indicates that our theory of gravity may need revision. Our current theory, Einstein’s theory of General Relativity, stands up in our solar system. If this theory breaks down on large scales, leading to the accelerating expansion, there must be some ‘cross-over’ scale where the theory changes. This project will make theoretical predictions for those models that contain a cross-over and test them against current data for current and upcoming Australian cosmological surveys. It will determine if our current theory of gravity is a satisfactory theory, and if it is not, which new theory should replace it.

A growing black hole is the most efficient source of power in the Universe, unlocking rest-mass energy bound in gas and stars it consumes by accretion and unleashing bursts of energetic radiation. The goal of the research programme is to understand how these outbursts impact on a black hole's environment and to quantify the impact of black holes on how galaxies form. Using cutting edge supercomputer models, this project will study how outbursts of feedback from black holes, ranging from one to one billion times the mass of the Sun, impact on star formation and gas content in galaxies. The results of the research will provide crucial insights into accretion power as a source of feedback in galaxy formation.

The higher-order structure and dynamics of nucleic acids, proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids drives the chemistry of life. Combining single molecule microscopy and trapped ion mass spectroscopy will develop a new tool for precision measurements of higher-order folding dynamics in large biomolecules. Optical techniques including Förster resonance energy transfer and super-resolution imaging can register changes in shape down to the nanometer scale.

These states host a variety of fascinating novel phenomena, which can be exploited for ultra-sensitive interferometry and topological quantum computing. The project will develop a complete description of these phases and design new quantum devices that utilise their properties.

This will clarify important phenomenological questions in the Standard Model and will enable more precise searches for deviations from it (new physics). A publicly available numerical code will be produced, with a large number of applications. These include, for instance, precision extraction of fundamental parameters and improved absolute calibrations of experimental measurements, explicit theoretical modelling of new physics phenomena, and optimisation of detector design and analysis strategies.

The interplay between these two novel and complementary approaches will unveil the fundamental nature of the particles that make up all known matter. Technological advances in high precision data analysis, and experimental data readout, will result in significant advances in the global knowledge of particle detector performance and operation. New techniques in data analysis will arise from this work. In going beyond the Standard Model and discovering extensions to the theory, the ultimate outcome of this project will define new directions for the field.

Despite its great importance for future quantum technology, currently the mechanism of superfluidity is poorly understood when the spin population is mismatched. In collaboration with leading laboratories in Australia, the United States of America and China, this theoretical project will greatly enhance the knowledge of imbalanced superfluidity by using ultracold atomic Fermi gases as model systems. The research may give key insight into the physics of unconventional superconductors in heavy-fermion compounds and stellar new superfluids in neutron stars.

Obtaining X-ray diffraction data however is critically dependent on having large, high quality crystals. Many proteins, particularly membrane proteins, only form nanocrystals or crystals of poor quality which prevents their structure being solved. This project aims to combine ideas from X-ray coherent diffraction imaging and X-ray crystallography to develop a method that can be used for structure retrieval from nanocrystals or crystals which are highly disordered. A particular emphasis will be placed on solving the structure of membrane proteins which are of special importance in drug development.

These modified protein drugs are produced and sold as mixtures which has led to difficulties in understanding the role of specific PTMs on activity and in gaining clinical approval for candidate drugs. This project will provide a fundamental solution to this problem through the development of novel synthetic methods and a powerful new platform technology for accessing PTM proteins in pure form. The utility of this technology will be demonstrated through its use in the total chemical synthesis of a range of PTM proteins for applications in biology and medicine.

However, direct evidence for the physical reality of small-scale convection cells is generally weak. This project will develop a novel seismological approach combining both ambient noise and earthquake data that can image such small-scale upper mantle convection. The outcomes of this project will help to fill the gap left in the Plate Tectonic paradigm by its inability to explain intraplate geological activity (volcanoes, earthquakes, mountains), which would be a significant step towards unifying conceptual models about how the Earth works.

An important component of this system is the iron cycle, in which iron-rich dust is transported from the land via atmosphere to ocean; iron is a key micronutrient for marine phytoplankton, the scarcity of which limits essential biogeochemical processes and ocean fertility. This project will conduct an integrated oceanographic and atmospheric observational program for trace elements in the oceans around Australia. This will provide the critical information on iron supplied from atmospheric dust for ocean productivity and marine ecosystem health, providing the science for predicting a key factor in the future impact of the oceans on climate.

Nonetheless, more recent episodes of rapid global warming during the late Pleistocene might approximate those expected for coming decades. This project will study past Australian regional temperature and rainfall responses to these events, on a high-resolution absolute timescale. The necessary analytical technologies are new, meaning a study of this scope could not previously be attempted, and they will be further developed under this project. Outputs will include spatial patterns and lead/lag relationships which can be used to supplement climate model predictions for Australia.

Predictions on how biodiversity loss will affect ecosystem functions and services require a well- developed understanding of its effects on plant litter decomposition, because this process is a key component of the global carbon cycle. This project will advance this understanding by addressing several key questions (for example, relative importance of decomposition versus other drivers of environmental change; and temporal variation in biodiversity effects on decomposition), using forest streams as model systems. These experiments will mimic realistic extinction events across climatic gradients, enabling predictions to be made at large scales.

In a globally unique experiment, this project will examine how Australian tropical rainforests are affected by a large-scale experimental drought, using a canopy crane to assess plant responses at all vertical forest levels. It will contrast demographic and physiological responses of an array of plant species and functional groups between experimental and control plots where tree growth, composition, soil water and atmospheric exchange have been monitored since 1999. Drought responses of key species and functional groups will be compared with their distributions across regional rainfall gradients to yield crucial insights into the potential impacts of future climate change on rainforests.

It is well known that both these data sources are prone to a significant bias, which is currently neglected in many environmental impact and prediction studies. This project will present a method to develop models for these biases. A state update technique, the Ensemble Kalman Filter, will be adapted to correctly take into account bias in the merging of the two data sources. The project outcomes will be of high importance for long-term environmental studies, since these strongly rely on physically-based models and remote sensing data.

Yet environmental decision analysis tools typically do not include social processes, due to theoretical and methodological obstacles including strong disciplinary divides. For the first time, this project will combine computational social science and ecology to develop a new approach to environmental decision science. Using case-studies in the design of biodiversity markets, this project will provide concrete examples of how socio- ecological models can support management decisions. The use of socio-ecological models will represent a paradigm shift in environmental decision theory that will lead to more effective environmental management.

This project will develop a new approach to water resources management by relating management practices based on ecological understanding to the social mechanisms behind these practices at water catchments. It will improve the predictability and precision of water resources management and increase our ability to maintain our options for a sustainable future. This will have a profound effect on catchment sustainability, a globally significant problem.

An attractive drug target to treat these diseases is AMP- activated protein kinase (AMPK), which functions as both a cellular fuel gauge and co-ordinator of whole-body metabolism. Building on recent breakthroughs made at St. Vincent's Institute, this project will produce innovative research into novel mechanisms that control AMPK. These discoveries will greatly increase our understanding of AMPK regulation by cellular processes, and aid the design of more effective AMPK drugs.

In Australian ecosystems, extinctions and declines of mammals have been dramatic, with formerly abundant species now “ecologically extinct”, meaning they are too rare to continue to play important ecological roles. The loss of entire functional guilds may have cascading effects on biodiversity and ecosystem function. This project uses a multi-scalar experimental approach to investigate the broader impacts of mammal declines on Australian ecosystems, accounting for interactions with climate. The outcomes will include new insights into the pre- European state of Australian ecosystems and more realistic targets for ecosystem restoration.

First, different dietary conditions not only affect the fitness of the organism, but also that of subsequent generations. Second, different nutritional effects and transgenerational effects on fitness-related traits are underpinned by epigenetic (or non- genetic) modifications. Third, such epigenetic modifications and their inheritance influence the evolution of life- history trade-offs. This project will link the emerging field of epigenetics with evolutionary theory, and reveal mechanisms of transgenerational epigenetic inheritance.

However, we do not understand how they influence biodiversity at its most fundamental level, genetic diversity. This is important, because genetic diversity affects the fitness of individuals, the viability of populations and the adaptability of species. This project will study fire in the Australian environment to discover how disturbance affects genetic diversity. By integrating landscape genomics and computational modelling with long-term field studies, the research will significantly advance our understanding of how genetic diversity is distributed, and improve our ability to predict the responses of natural populations to changes in the frequency and severity of wildfire.

In recent years it has become clear that various classes of non-coding RNAs have important roles in gene regulation. Of these non-coding RNAs, small RNAs (20-25 nucleotides) are beginning to be understood however less is known about the role and complexity of long non-coding RNAs. This project would identify new regulators of seed development that may lead to novel methods to increase grain yields, ultimately benefitting the Australian grains industry.

Our poor understanding of their host entry pathways limits infection control. The olfactory neuroepithelium has been identified as a key entry portal for both a murid herpesvirus and a human pathogen, Herpes simplex virus, suggesting that many herpesviruses use this route. Virions cross the olfactory mucus on neuronal cilia, then either infect neurons or transfer to glial cells for local spread. This project will identify key receptor interactions and map the extent of invasion. By advancing our basic understanding of these important viruses and their uptake at an abundantly exposed but little explored anatomical site, the project can establish a basis for vaccinating against chronic disease.

However, some microbes can periodically disrupt the biogeochemical balance of coastal habitats, while others are dangerous pathogens that cause human illness. Anthropogenic impacts may underpin episodic shifts in the balance of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ coastal microbes, but the mechanisms and dynamics of these shifts are undefined. This project will unite cutting-edge analytical tools, including microfluidics and ecogenomics, to redefine our understanding of the microbiology of the Australian coast, providing transformative new insights for preserving our aquatic backyard and protecting our health.

ASM remodelling occurs in early life, is refractory to current treatments and persists into later life. Severe respiratory virus infections in early life are a major risk factor for the development of asthma, yet it remains to be determined whether viruses promote ASM remodelling. Previous studies have developed a unique mouse model of childhood asthma and discovered the molecular mechanism by which this tissue tropism develops in response to virus infection.

In order to understand how it functions, and dysfunctions in a diseased state, it is fundamental to decipher how it develops to generate various neuronal populations that form this elaborate network. Human stem cells provide a valuable source to study such processes. The aim of this project is to use human stem cells to study how early progenitor cell types that structure the nervous system are generated and how their neuronal derivatives form connectivity and functional synapses.

It is now clear that cross-talk between cancer cells and other normal cells is essential for metastasis and previous studies have discovered two key mechanisms: tumour cell suppression of immune defence pathways to escape immune recognition, and activation of proteases to promote invasion and blood vessel growth. Using unique models and cellular imaging, this project aims to investigate the cell specific functions of these pathways and the therapeutic potential of altering their expression and function. This project may lead to the development of novel predictors of metastasis in patients and new targeted therapeutics to prevent breast cancer spread.

Activation of Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) is frequently observed and associated with poor prognosis in ovarian cancer patients. However, the mechanisms dysregulating mTOR in the pathogenesis of ovarian cancer are unknown. In preliminary studies, deletion of genes regulating mTOR signalling in up to 60 per cent of human serous ovarian cancer patients was observed. This project will provide mechanistic details of involvement of mTOR signalling in pathogenesis of the serous ovarian carcinoma, and develop a rationale for targeting mTOR pathway in these patients.

However, current therapies have limited efficacy. Defining platelet activation mechanisms in order to rationalise more effective antithrombotic approaches is the major focus of this research. This project describes the first studies to examine the importance of a family of intracellular signalling enzymes, the Class II phosphoinositide 3-kinases, in platelet function. These studies will define the contribution of these enzymes to platelet production and function and will establish whether their inhibition is an attractive strategy for the prevention of arterial thrombosis. 1117 PUBLIC HEALTH AND HEALTH SERVICES

Improving mental health can increase productivity and workforce participation. However, the psychosocial quality of work is a factor that overlays the relationship between work and health. Poor quality work (for example, unreasonable time pressure, insecurity) increases the risk of poor mental health, absenteeism, and exit from the workforce. This project will analyse data following people over time to investigate the long-term health and employment consequences of poor psychosocial job quality, and consider the special case of mature age workers. It will identify those individuals at greatest risk, and factors that can buffer against the adverse effects of poor quality work.

Economists have joined psychologists, health professionals and other social scientists to address the question of how society can be made happier. The literature to date has largely focused on how individuals can attain happiness by addressing personal psychological and health issues. This project offers a different perspective by asking the question: What can be done to make others happy? In particular, this project focuses on: the effect we have on the happiness of our partners and children; how we optimally handle information as individuals and as a society, to make other people happy; how we can make our neighbourhoods happy; and how we can make other countries happy. 1601 ANTHROPOLOGY

At the same time, these forest landscapes are rapidly being converted for ‘boom crop’ production such as oil palm and rubber. However, little is known about how carbon governance intersects with such monocropping to affect local livelihoods, property rights and social relations. This project examines how the global market-driven approach, REDD+ (Reduced Emissions from Environmental Degradation and Deforestation+), governs forest carbon vis-à-vis commodity production, how this impacts rural livelihoods, and influences the viability of climate change governance. 1605 POLICY AND ADMINISTRATION

Healthy individuals exhibit a processing advantage favouring left space but this advantage is lost in disorders such as unilateral spatial neglect, ADHD and dyslexia. This project will develop novel electrophysiological methods to dissociate the sensory, attentional, decision-making and motoric contributions to spatial asymmetries. By interfacing electrophysiology with genetic, neurochemical and brain imaging methods, this project will comprehensively map the biology of spatial asymmetry. This knowledge is vital to developing effective treatments for disorders where atypical patterns of spatial asymmetry index neurological vulnerability.

Obviously motor planning plays a role, with people reaching toward predicted locations when intercepting moving objects, but what, if any, compensation for informational delays is provided by perception? This project will explore situations wherein moving objects are erroneously localised and seem deformed, in order to determine if these are indicative of perception helping to compensate for informational lags. Project results will have substantial theoretical significance, pertaining to the nature of perception and conscious visual awareness. FT130101177 Bastian, Dr Brock

Issues relating to animal rights, biodiversity, and environmental protection weigh heavily in these debates. These issues are receiving increased attention at a time when the human (over)population of the planet is already placing pressure on scare resources, creating conflict between the needs of humans and non-humans. It is along our moral frontiers where these conflicts will erupt and the rights and needs of humans and non-humans alike are given merit or discarded. This project will examine the psychological processes involved in extending moral concern to non-humans and the benefits and costs of this extended morality for the satisfaction of human needs.

In many cases, past experiences are used to imagine novel potential scenarios yet to be experienced. This project will examine in detail the role of memory in imagining possible futures and planning for those possibilities, drawing on our contemporary understanding of memory as captured in computational models of human memory. By controlling the information that people encode into memory, and thus determining the building blocks from which people build simulations of the future, this project will gain valuable data that will be used to develop a detailed and precise computational model of the role of memory mechanisms and representations in imagining and planning. 1801 LAW

Photographs invite viewers to identify with stories, events and others, and the ease with which photographs circulate in print and online makes them ideal for fostering discourse and debate. However, the increasing focus on testimony and witness in contemporary culture has recently altered the way that photography operates in public and raised some significant problems for photography historians regarding the representation of events, others and the past. This project will respond to these problems, and produce a new understanding of the historical, social, cultural and political links between photography and the public sphere today.

Lexical stress is a type of prosody that reflects the contrast between strong and weak syllables within single words. The ability to achieve this contrastivity shows a protracted developmental trajectory in healthy children and is atypical in some children with autism. How these developmental influences relate to language-specific versus physiological motor-control factors is unknown.

Developing new archaeological techniques, this project explores the history of trade in bulk grain in southwest Asia from the Neolithic to Iron Age and its role in stimulating socio-economic change and mediating food insecurity in a period of rapid climatic and political change. In revolutionising our view of ancient food trade it will provide an example from the past to help inform contemporary debates about the efficacy of a key economic strategy in moderating fluctuations in food supply.

Kingdoms in Tonga, Hawai'i, and New Zealand lasted at least a century, but only years in Tahiti, Samoa and Fiji. Nevertheless they epitomised uncertain times when Indigenous and settler peoples alike focussed intensely on the sovereign status of subject peoples in subject colonies. This project connects these moments of sovereignty for the first time in a unique opportunity to track the intellectual and social histories of contact in the transcolonial space of the Pacific and its settler colonial rim. Project outcomes will offer new insight into our colonial past and its legacies in the present.

Mining is a milieu of profound paradox, with changing national/international contexts and competing interests. The story of mineral exploration and exploitation thus demands fresh assessments of its social, cultural and political impact in Australia. This timely history of Australian mining examines the complex interactions of people, land and governments and explores historical actors previously silenced—Aborigines, women, ethnic minorities and environmentalists—thereby providing an innovative new narrative of the multiple and diverse historical protagonists and processes created by Australia’s mighty geological windfall.

The research will provide normative grounds for evaluating disease claims. Results will reduce the harm caused by people receiving treatment that they do not require, make a practical contribution to debates about the scope of health care, and yield findings that can help to reduce the cost-burdens associated with overdiagnosis. 2202 HISTORY AND PHILOSOPHY OF SPECIFIC FIELDS

Bringing them together constitutes one of the most urgent problems of physics. By exploring the foundations of the problem, and the various proposed resolutions, from both historical and philosophical perspectives, this project aims both to shed new light on why it so stubbornly resists a solution and to assist in its solution. It will map out the specific features of the various approaches to quantum gravity with a view to offering researchers a helpful tool to navigate and compare their virtues and vices.

Its significance lies in producing a theoretical model of how human brains have evolved to be culturally situated. The outcome will be a model that explains how as a species: our brains evolved in richly social and cultural environments; how each human brain develops in such an environment; and, how culture transforms the brain. The cultural transformation of our brains results in culturally extended cognitive systems. This will be a significant innovation in our current understanding of how brains, bodies and culture transform our basic cognitive capabilities.

Combining philosophy with film analysis, it moves beyond the prevalent view that cinema merely illustrates moral situations, and challenges the long-held suspicion toward film’s manipulative aesthetic power. This project proposes instead a model of cinematic ethics: an investigation of how cinema evokes ethical experience through emotional, cognitive, and aesthetic engagement. This project will advance the emerging interdisciplinary field of film-philosophy by highlighting film’s under-recognised potential to enhance ethical understanding, and thus to promote greater social awareness and intercultural communication. 2204 RELIGION AND RELIGIOUS STUDIES

In particular, it aims to investigate the role of Pentecostalism in the social welfare of migrants in Australia. This research contributes significant new knowledge to the ways in which religion is globalised and localised in everyday life, the role of religion in assisting migrants, and the continuing vitality and renewed public role of religion in late modernity. It will broaden the official vision of Brazil-Australia relations, encouraging policy to extend beyond the economic and political to include the cultural and social.
