The Australian academic research framework is moving into a new phase, emphasising Engagement and Impact (EI). Research and creative productions will now be assessed against criteria that aim to: ‘assess the contribution that research has made to the economy, society, environment or culture, beyond the contribution to academic research, and the ways in which universities have facilitated the translation of research into impact.’ (EI 2018 Framework, Australian Research Council, Canberra 2017, p. 8). Research publications will still be assessed, at least over a transitionary period, but will no longer be the main measure of research excellence. Grant and commercialisation income, as well as Higher Degree by Research Completions, will continue to be assessed as important measures of activity and outputs. As demonstrated over a decade of annual reports, members of the Australia-Asia-Pacific Institute have always sought to connect with constituencies beyond the academy. These activities have taken many forms, including but not limited to, extensive engagement with state, national and international media, offline and online; interactions with a range of groups in community settings; social advocacy, especially in the Human Rights field; providing advice to governments; and partnering with national and international cultural institutions, particularly in the GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums) sector. These engagements, a select few only of which are featured in the following pages, have demonstrable and important outcomes well beyond Curtin University and beyond Australia. We have always valued publication of our research and creative production in academic and general forums and, while, publication now has a different assessment status, these activities engage us directly with one of the world’s largest industries. Academic and other forms of journal and book publication are a major global industry predicted to be worth over USD 357 billion, 2018-2022 (Technavio, August 2016 at https://www. technavio.com/report/global-publishing-and-advertising-global-publishing-market-2016-2020, accessed December 11, 2017). More important than the dollar figure is the reach that this extensive publishing industry gives our academic, creative and general publications. AAPI members publish throughout the world with leading academic and commercial publishers, projecting their research through bookshops and other retail outlets, as well as through public, government and university libraries. The World Wide Web has further magnified the distribution and discoverability of our work and will continue to do so as it expands. Through the ongoing impact of our existing and future work, the institute remains well-placed to respond the challenges and opportunities of the EI framework. We will continue to produce high quality research and creative production that reaches audiences of all kinds in many places around the world. As we conclude our eleventh year of varied activity and achievement, we say farewell to our Research Project Officer, Dr Sue Summers. For ten years, Sue has been integral to the success of the institute in its several forms and has been the primary creator of our annual reports and much else of our publishing program, including her role as Managing Editor of Black Swan Press. I take this opportunity to record our appreciation of Sue’s outstanding contribution and wish her every success in her future ventures.

1 About AAPI

The Australia-Asia-Pacific Institute is organised in four major groups, reflecting the research strengths within its membership. Institute members and associates generally work across two or more of the groups. Researchers also maintain their individual disciplinary profiles in accordance with their fields of expertise.

Yirga Gelaw Woldeyes Minor Creative Work of the Year – ECR category AAPI Associate member, Yirga Gelaw Woldeyes and Rebecca Higgie were the recipients of the ‘Minor Creative Work of the Year – ECR’ category in the Humanities Research Awards 2017 presentations: Yirga Gelaw Woldeyes and Rebecca Higgie. “Born Free, Created Poor: Coming of Age in Ethiopia.” Westerly, 61, 2, (2016): 58–68. The judges appraised this creative work as: ... a poignant work of creative non-fiction, using Yirga’s own experiences in childhood as a lens through which to consider the effect of western education as a colonising force in Ethiopia. It seeks to combat conventional myths about Africa as a place of sorrow and poverty, and uses personal narrative to enable academic theory on development and human rights to reach a broader audience through publication in Westerly, WA’s premier literary journal. Yirga is a Career Development Associate with AAPI and is mentored by Professor Baden Offord. 5 Kim Scott Celebrating the writing of Kim Scott Professor of Writing, multi-award winning novelist and two-time winner of Miles Franklin Literary Award, Kim Scott, has authored yet another highly celebrated book, Taboo (Picador, 2017). Taboo tells the story of a group of Noongar people who revisit, for the first time in many decades, a taboo place: the site of a massacre that followed the assassination of a white man who had stolen a black woman. They come at the invitation of the elderly owner of the farm on which the massacre unfolded. He hopes that by hosting the group he will cleanse some moral stain from the ground on which he and his family have lived for generations. But the sins of the past will not be so easily expunged. Kim’s novel, Benang (1999) was the first by an Indigenous writer to win the Miles Franklin Literary Award and That Deadman Dance (2010) also won Australia’s premier literary prize. Proud to be one among those who call themselves Noongar, Kim is founder and chair of the Wirlomin Noongar Language and Story Project, which has published a number of bilingual picture books. He has also received an Australian Centenary Medal and was 2012 West Australian of the Year. Among the many book reviews for Taboo, The Australian observes that Kim’s “special gift as a writer is his nose for the human side of the politics around Australia’s colonial past”, adding that this “pacy, smart book” with an “eye for humour” is his “most approachable work of fiction yet ... While it acknowledges the crimes of the past, it leaves us full of a sense of hope for the future. The project of renewal that Kim Scott has put his weight behind is both the subject matter here but also the outcome. He’s that rare writer who walks what he talks”. Taboo was launched at Curtin University’s St Georges Terrace campus, by Vice-Chancellor Professor Deborah Terry on 26 July 2017. This was followed by launches in the Eastern States, including the University of Sydney on 12 August 2017.

Masterpiece of Australian Contemporary Literature Kim Scott’s 2010 novel, That Deadman Dance – winner 2010 Western Australian Premier’s Award for Fiction; 2011 Miles Franklin Award; 2011 ALS Gold Medal; 2011 Victorian Premiers Prize for Literature; 2011 Victorian Premiers Prize for Fiction; 2011 Kate Challis RAKA Award and 2011 Commonwealth Writers Prize for Best Book Regional Winner – was released in May 2017 by Gendaikikakushitsu Publishing as the fifth book of the Masterpieces of Australian Contemporary Literature Series. This Japanese translation was launched at the Australia-Japan Writer’s Forum held in Tokyo in mid-October this year. The book has been published in Australia, UK, US, Canada, and now Japan.

Research, Impact and Engagement Gina Koczberski and George N. Curry Identifying opportunities and constraints for rural women’s engagement in small-scale agricultural enterprises in Papua New Guinea This four year collaborative project – funded by a $1.2 million grant from Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR) – aims to develop new knowledge of the factors that explain women’s low level of engagement in small-scale agricultural enterprises and to identify and map the processes and pathways that facilitate their move into managing their own small-scale enterprises.

Right: Identifying local yam varieties, Island of Misima, PNG. 6 The goal of this project is to address knowledge gaps and to build upon on existing socio-economic research to identify local constraints and opportunities for women to become more engaged in small-scale agricultural enterprises.

Tod Jones Impact of Curtin research on Indonesian cultural policy When Tod Jones met with Mr Hilmar Farid, the Director General of Culture for Indonesia earlier this year, he learned that his research had been debated in the Indonesian parliament. Tod’s 2005 PhD thesis, Indonesian Cultural Policy, 1950-2003: Culture Institutions, Government – after being translated into the Indonesian language with the help of AAPI and RUSSIC funding – was published in 2015 by Yayasan Obor Indonesia (YOI) as Kebudayaan dan Kekuasaan di Indonesia. Mr Farid affirmed to Tod in writing that his research had been debated in the Indonesian parliament, had been reviewed and quoted in the print media, had contributed to public debates in Indonesia and, as a result, had influenced the cultural policy of a country of 260 million people.

Reena Tiwari and John Stephens Transforming former Mission sites as healing spaces: The Stolen Generation Survivor Project In 2016, Curtin committed to the ‘Healing Centres for the Stolen Generations Survivors’ project, signing a memorandum of understanding with the Southern Aboriginal Corporation and the Bringing Them Home Committee. The goal of this four-year long project – directed by the views of the Stolen Generation survivors and their families – is to transform the Mission sites into healing spaces for survivors of the Stolen Generation. The completion of the first phase of the project took place in mid-2017. This involved an extensive study of the former Mission sites of Carrolup-Marribank and Wandering in which SOBE students – under the leadership of Reena Tiwari, John Stephens and Jane Mathews – completed detailed surveys of Wandering and, through the use of a drone, captured an aerial view from different locations. Further, Building Condition Reports, Draft Masterplans and 3-D Visualization Models of the Carrolup-Marribank and Wandering Mission sites have been produced in collaboration with the Stolen Generation survivors through a number of meetings and workshops.

Above: School of Built Environment students and staff with commiunity members at Wandering. The next phase of this four-year collaborative project is to obtain required approvals and begin renovation work on the identified ‘priority’ buildings in both Mission sites. The steering group, which includes representatives from Curtin, the Bringing Them Home Committee and the Southern Aboriginal Corporation, is providing advice and higher-level oversight of the project. A number of industry partners have worked with the Curtin team to achieve these outcomes including: Hassell, PDC Group, Veris Ltd and Public Transport Authority WA. Other industry partners who are providing their services pro bono towards structural assessment, costings and asbestos management are BG&E Construction, McGarry Associates, and RPS Perth. 7 John Stephens Linking teaching and research in Mongolia: Power and nationalism in the built environment

In July 2017, John Stephens with Jake Schapper conducted a study tour to China and Mongolia for undergraduate and masters students from Planning, Construction, Architecture and International Relations at Curtin University. Federal Endeavour Mobility Grants obtained by Jake Schapper and John Stephens funded many students. A research theme of Power and Nationalism in the Built Environment included the study of formal urban power landscapes as well as the problems of urbanisation in Beijing and the complications of Gur settlements in Mongolia. Sessions were held at the Australian Embassies in Beijing and Ulaanbaatar meeting with ambassadors and staff for discussion on the role of diplomatic missions, future contact with the region and future research projects. Students engaged with local farmers in Gur settlements observing first-hand the difficulties of small agriculture production on the outskirts of Ulaanbaatar and national strategies to help them deal with climate and markets. The impact of this project included increased student (and researcher) knowledge and application of how power and nationalism is deployed in city planning and structures and how individual nations reinforce national symbols and mythology in the built environment. Also, how national symbols and identity engraved into cities is sustained by mythologies fashioned in country regions.

Tim Doyle and Dennis Rumley Indian Ocean research and engagement Tim Doyle and Dennis Rumley are busy writing The Rise and Return of the Indo Pacific, an Oxford University Press contracted publication scheduled for release in late 2018/early 2019. The research underpinning this publication explores the Indo-Pacific concept as an ambiguous and contested regional security construction, currently gaining significant traction in both geopolitical-strategic theorizing and policy-making circles. Dennis, who is Professor of Indian Ocean Studies, has travelled extensively – by invitation – to advance his research this year. Destinations include Fudan University in Shanghai, China; the Pakistan Naval War College, and Bahria University in Karachi, Pakistan; the Research Institute for Indian Ocean Economies (RIIO), Kunming, China; 4th 1.5 track Australia-India Security Dialogue, New Delhi, India, and the Research Institute for Indian Ocean Economies (RIIO) at Yunnan University of Finance and Economics (YUFE) in Kunming – China’s only Indian Ocean Centre. He was also instrumental in the signing of a MOU between YUFE and Curtin University, and in discussions for further joint research collaboration. Although the author, co-author, editor and co-editor of more than 130 academic publications, this forthcoming publication is special as Dennis explained: I have never enjoyed writing so much in my life. It’s the biggest and most amazing project I have ever worked on. It’s so time-consuming, so challenging, so complex, and so very interesting. It’s pushing me into corners I’ve never been to in such depth, especially regarding foreign policy narratives and international relations theoretical frameworks, with so many, yet invariably contested, connections. A research publication to look out for in due course. 8 Suvendrini Perera Deathscapes: Mapping Race and State Violence in Settler Societies This ARC Discovery Project (2016-2018) led by Suvendrini Perera, adopts a transnational and cross-disciplinary approach to racialized state violence, working across Australia, the US, Canada and the UK/EU to map the sites and distributions of custodial deaths in locations such as police cells, prisons and immigration detention centres. The website featuring this innovative research is scheduled to go live in mid-2018. Successful previews have been held at Curtin University, the University of Toronto, the University of Padua and the Australian Academy of the Humanities Annual Symposium on Human Rights and Humanitarianism. In April 2018 the site will preview at the Transnational Law Summit at Kings College, London. More information on page 37.

Caroline Fleay Seeking Refuge WA, finalist for United Nations Association’s Human Rights Award 2017

Caroline Fleay and social advocate Libby Williams were finalists in the United Nations Association’s Human Rights Award on 27 October 2017 for their coordination of the Seeking Refuge WA campaign. This crowdfunding campaign raised more than $90,000 earlier this year to ensure The Humanitarian Group was able to provide legal assistance to people seeking asylum in WA who were denied access to funded legal support in preparing their refugee claim. It is the largest ever crowdfund for legal assistance for people seeking asylum in Western Australia. Throughout its two month duration, the campaign attracted donations of some $1,500 per day.

Creative Production Annette Condello Pier Luigi Nervi: Outback Modernism exhibition Over 100 people– architects, academics, local artists, archivists and students – attended the launch of the Pier Luigi Nervi: Outback Modernism exhibition at QV1 Building foyer, 250 St Georges Terrace, Perth, on 7 June. This exhibition was curated and organised by Annette Condello, SOBE, Curtin University with Cristiana Chiorino, ComuniARCH Associates, Turin, and the Pier Luigi Nervi Project Association, Brussels. Nervi (1891-1979) was Italy’s most influential modern architect-engineer, internationally renowned for his use of curving concrete forms, soaring arches and V- or Y-profiles. The exhibition showcased Nervi’s most prominent works for the first time in Western Australia, highlighting the unbuilt New Norcia Cathedral scheme and his collaborative contributions to Harry Seidler’s projects. The exhibition was accompanied by the research publication:

Silent Voices Exhibition Reena Tiwari Behaviour change through performance: Testing the non-verbal modes in the Australian context This new phase of research, as part of the broader Lakhnu Villiage project, questions whether non-verbal modalities can be used to inform an Australian audience of the sanitation issues in an Indian village and thus create a level of engagement between two cultures around public health issues. The 2017 outcome was the Silent Voices Exhibition – an immersive exploration of a critical issue in developing nations based on performative work carried out in Lakhnu, India – which was launched at Kidogo Gallery, Fremantle, 12 November 2017: ‘Being silenced can be a disempowering experience. However, in silences we may come to understand aspects of life that are often occupied with daily chatter or white noise. In silences we may come to synchronize our body rhythms with those present outside ...’.
