MMCCS Newsletter December 2018

Head of Department’s Message Thanks to you all 2018 has seen another amazing year of achievement for our Department. This newsletter once again reflects the incredibly hard work and enthusiasm you put into your teaching, research and community engagement. There are a lot of achievements not in this newsletter, and the list of publications and creative research outputs, grants and awards listed do not adequately reflect the hard work many of you have put into applying for grants and awards that were unsuccessful. As I have said before, I believe that work is never wasted and is just as important for building on research, publications and grants in future. I also want to thank you and convey my deep gratitude for your collegiality, collaboration and contribution around the Curriculum Architecture project. Conceptually you have all updated established units and redesigned content for the new units across the UG and PG degrees that has produced fresh and exciting degrees and majors that I believe will be attractive to students. I hope you all have a restful and merry Christmas and happy New Year.

Usha Harris’ book Participatory Media in Environmental Communication: Engaging communities in the periphery, published by Routledge (e-book 2018, print 2019), received positive reviews: ‘Climate change is the greatest environmental, economic, social and moral challenge of our time. While science can explain, we need stories to connect and inspire. Harris’s book is a celebration of the power and richness of storytelling in the Pacific, not just to illuminate the problems, but to shine a light towards the solutions.’-- Lesley Hughes, Pro Vice-Chancellor and Distinguished Professor of Biology, Macquarie University, Australia

‘This volume is a breathtaking endeavour that shows how today’s big questions are those related to the intertwining of the local and the digital in environmental communication. Redefining what it means to take a bottom-up approach, this volume gives voice to the island communities of the Pacific, and in doing so, makes clear how much stories and narratives matter to environmental communication.’ -- Pieter Maeseele, Associate Professor and Head of the science and environmental communication divisions of IAMCR and ECREA, University of Antwerp, Belgium

‘The book’s diversity, networking and agency (DNA) framework should be adopted by environmental planners and social mobilisers. I will not hesitate to endorse this book to environmental workers in the international development assistance community, particularly those involved in climate change adaptation initiatives. Educators should make this work required reading for both environmental science and development communication students.’ -- Alexander G. Flor, PhD, Professor, UP Scientist and Dean of Information and Communication Studies, University of the Philippines (Open University)

Morry Schwartz AM, the esteemed book and journal publisher, delivered this year's lecture: ‘Slow News: Thinking in Public’. The lecture was funded by the Copyright Cultural Fund and attracted more than 130 guests, received press coverage and the lecture is permanently available on the CMH YouTube channel. See more information here: https://www.mq.edu.au/research/research-centres-groups-and-facilities/resilient- societies/centres/centre-for-media-history/news-and-events/news/news/2018-brian- johns-lecture2

The Centre for Media History participated in the recent Trilateral MQ-FU-HAM (Macquarie University, Fudan, Shanghai, and Hamburg Universities) Conference organized by the University of Hamburg 10-12 Sept. Members also presented papers in the Transnational Media Histories Workshop, held 12-13 Sept, organized by Dr Hans- Ulrich Wagner, Director of the Centre for Media History in Hamburg. CMH’s Dr Madsen and Prof. Griffen-Foley also participated in a business meeting to plan the next two years of the now Trilateral partnership’s activities and events. Papers and proposals were presented by Director, CMH, Dr Virginia Madsen and joint lead of the project, Prof. Bridget Griffen-Foley in our session: Histories, Archives, Soundings. 32 Bridget Griffen-Foley looked back on the achievements of the partnership since 2015, and shared with the workshop insights from her research relating to transnational media history, Australian and US radio. Virginia Madsen presented two papers: the first explored a proposal for the partnership to develop in the next phase: a digital environment prototype for writing collaborative transnational media history, and to be based on restituting and re-sounding significant archives with transnational resonance, impacts or import. This proposal drew on Madsen’s research collaboration with Dr Wagner. The second presentation was designed to open up greater contact in research around a common theme, to involve all three universities (Departments/Centres) working in media and media history. Madsen suggested we could find ways to explore the theme of the port city (Sydney, Hamburg and Shanghai), collaborating and sharing research to ‘sound the port city’ within frameworks of time and (urban) spaces. CMH Associate member Dr Alex Mesker was invited as an Early Career researcher to the event and presented: Crossing Borders: techno-electronic music and media art cultures as trans-national ‘new media’ history. MMCCS PhD candidate Fereydoun Pelarek was also awarded a travel grant to attend the events and present a Poster on his project: ‘Going Loopy – Sound Design Techniques of Live Looping Media’. The CMH participants appear in a video presentation of the Hamburg University Centre for Media History: YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GFbt3kS6PtE and news of the event is on the CMH webpages and on the Hamburg University website: https://www.uni- hamburg.de/en/internationales/profil/hochschulpartnerschaften/trilateralnetwork/u pcoming-events/workshop-transnational-media-histories.html

The Centre for Media History was also a partner in the special History Council of NSW’s History Week 2018 symposium: Truth, Memory and the Media. This half-day symposium brought together members of the Centre for Media History and Centre for Applied History at Macquarie University, to explore the intersections of truth and memory in journalism, documentary and feature films, and the ways that crime, in/justice and death are documented and remembered. Speakers covered topics related to the theme of truth and memory in media, including the history of ‘fake news’; the search for Aboriginal sovereignty; the final days of Aboriginal ‘bushranger’ Jimmy Governor; and history on screen. Centre for Media History members presenting included Dr Tom Murray and Assoc Prof. Peter Doyle. The event was held at the State Library, 6 Sept. See https://www.mq.edu.au/research/research-centres-groups-and- facilities/resilient-societies/centres/centre-for-media-history/news-and- events/events/events/truth,-memory-and-the-media-symposium.

Other events organised by CMH include a lecture presented by visiting Director of the Media and Journalism school, Prof. Huang Dan. This event attracted MQ academics from Chinese Studies and members of other universities Research Centres, including from the University of Western Sydney and Sydney University. This event was recorded and translated and will be available on the CMH website.

The CMH also organised a Digital Humanities Workshop (6 April) at Macquarie University, featuring Dr M.H. Beals (Loughborough University) and Dr Stephen Wan (CSIRO). Both Beals and Wan illustrated the usefulness of online tools to enhance research. While Beals discussed the rising use of digitised newspaper collections and the use of new analytical tools for project-specific research, Wan discussed how social 33 media data can complement other data sources, including interviews and questionnaires, to support research in computational social science. Beals presentation is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46Vg0vLItTk

The Centre currently has 9 major research projects underway, a number of these receiving external funding from the ARC and other sources. It secured a new grant from the Copyright Agency Cultural Fund for $14, 960 to fund 3 Brian Johns lectures (2019-2021), and applied for one $25,000 Grant to the Australia-Germany Joint Research Co- Operation Scheme. It supported 4 members/associate members of the centre to attend and participate in the Transnational Media Histories Workshop held in Hamburg in September, through access to DAAD funding and one PhD was nominated by the director to access a travelling scholarship to the event, which was successful. The CMH has extended its membership in 2018 and welcomes new members, full and associates for 2019. All details are on the CMH website: https://www.mq.edu.au/research/research-centres-groups-and-facilities/resilient- societies/centres/centre-for-media-history/our-projects.
