List of Authors List of Authors Caroline Beasley Caroline moved to Canberra from Tasmania to study Arts/Law in 2011. Her interest in Australian history led her to explore the way in which Indigenous Australians have so often been excluded from the Australian story. She is also interested in the status of Indigenous peoples in Australia from a legal perspective, and is looking forward to continuing her involvement with the ANU Law School’s Ready 4 Recognition group after coming back from exchange at Trinity College Dublin in July 2014. She hopes to pursue an honours project in this area in the future. Email: [email protected] Nyomi Bourbous Science in general has always intrigued Nyomi, but when she first came to the ANU she had no idea of the field in which she wanted to specialise. In her first and second years Nyomi was introduced to genetics and was hooked, believing that she had found her calling. In addition, she is also interested in evolutionary theory specifically pertaining to humans. She is currently in her final undergraduate year and has aspirations to complete honours in biological anthropology next year. She adores studying and acquiring new knowledge and it is her aspiration that one day she may be able to carry out her own research. Email: [email protected] Kieran Browne Kieran is in his final semester of a Bachelor of Digital Arts. His research has been concerned with the intersection of art and science and the globalisation of modern art theory in the latter part of the twentieth century. He is interested in historical and non-Western art theories, especially that of Indian and ‘oriental’ modernisms that have been ‘discovered’ by Western art discourse in recent years. His art practice and development of a theoretical framework owes much to the expansion of art discourse. Kieran hopes to continue working as a practising artist after his university studies. Email: [email protected] xiii The ANU Undergraduate Research Journal Andrew Chua Andrew graduated from the ANU with a Bachelor of Arts in July 2013, majoring in political science and ancient history. Andrew will be starting Bachelor of Arts (Honours) program from February 2014, with his thesis based on the politics of state-building in the Occupied Territories. Email: [email protected] Dominie Dessaix Dominie is a third-year Bachelor of Arts student, majoring in linguistics and philosophy. Her main interests are philosophy of mind and psychology, cognitive science, philosophy of science, and philosophy of language. She is fascinated by questions involving interdisciplinary work, or that have answers bearing on work done in many disciplines. Some of these questions are the nature of explanation, consciousness, and the role of language in what makes human activity unique. Dominie is also interested in how findings from linguistics might inform, and perhaps ‘naturalise’, the philosophy of language, and how the biological sciences might interact with linguistics, philosophy, and the humanities more generally. She hopes to begin honours mid-semester 2014, either single honours in philosophy, or combined honours in philosophy and linguistics. Email: [email protected] Sebastian Klich Sebastian is an international relations honours student specialising in Middle Eastern studies. His thesis uses a constructivist framework to analyse the identity and contested sovereignty of the Kurdistan region in northern Iraq, hence he chose to focus on the strategic and regional implications of the Kurdistan Regional Government’s unilateral natural resource management for this essay. After completing honours he hopes to complete a PhD at the ANU, conducting research into how social theory in international relations can provide a better understanding of how unrecognised states function in international society. Email: [email protected] xiv List of Authors Guy Leech Guy is an environmental science student (and tutor) who came to the ANU to study animals, and ended up studying climate.

During 2013, William was awarded First Class Honours in Development Studies. His work in this journal formed part of the coursework required for this award. This Gender and Development based article links strongly with William's thesis topic but also is related to his experiences and knowledge of social development. Beyond 2013, he plans to search for jobs in development consultancy both in Australia and abroad. Additionally, he hopes to continue his passion for research to better understand and formulate solutions to some of the world's most complex social problems.

    A whole new world: Global revolution and Australian social movements in the long Sixties Jon Piccini BA Honours (1st Class) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2013 School of History, Philosophy, Religion & Classics Abstract This thesis explores Australian social movements during the long Sixties through a transnational prism, identifying how the flow of people and ideas across borders was central to the growth and development of diverse campaigns for political change. By making use of a variety of sources—from archives and government reports to newspapers, interviews and memoirs—it identifies a broadening of the radical imagination within movements seeking rights for Indigenous Australians, the lifting of censorship, women’s liberation, the ending of the war in Vietnam and many others. It locates early global influences, such as the Chinese Revolution and increasing consciousness of anti-racist struggles in South Africa and the American South, and the ways in which ideas from these and other overseas sources became central to the practice of Australian social movements. This was a process aided by activists’ travel. Accordingly, this study analyses the diverse motives and experiences of Australian activists who visited revolutionary hotspots from China and Vietnam to Czechoslovakia, Algeria, France and the United States: to protest, to experience or to bring back lessons. While these overseas exploits, breathlessly recounted in articles, interviews and books, were transformative for some, they also exposed the limits of what a transnational politics could achieve in a local setting. Australia also became a destination for the period’s radical activists, provoking equally divisive responses.

  • Captain Cook: a Catalyst for Contestation
    Captain Cook: A Catalyst for Contestation. What is the function of the myth of Captain Cook? In 1770, Lieutenant Cook led HMB Endeavour’s voyage through the South Pacific ​ 1 in search of the great southern continent. Today, for many Australians, Cook’s 2 landing at Botany Bay on 29th April, signifies the ‘discovery’ of Australia. Cook is ​ 3 remembered as both a “giant” amongst navigators and as “bad news for 4 Aborigines”. These divergent slogans were employed in 1970 for the bicentennial celebrations, which marked 200 years since Cook went ashore at Botany Bay. The celebration and contestation of the significance of his ventures has become a cornerstone of Australian national identity. As I reveal in this essay, ‘national identity’ 5 is not fixed but is created citizens as they attempt to characterize a nation. This essay will use the 1970 bicentenary as a case study to unpack the function of the ‘myth’ of Captain Cook. By analyzing these celebrations, I argue that the myth of Captain Cook provides a platform for interaction between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians to contest the nation’s past and present. These opposing views that manifest within the myth of Captain Cook allow the idea of the Australian nation to be both fractured and redefined. Firstly, I will explore the theoretical frameworks of myths and nationhood that the remembrance of Captain Cook operates within. Secondly, I will investigate the 1 NSW Migration Heritage Centre, ‘1768 James Cook’s Secret Instructions’, Australia’s Migration History ​ Timeline (blog), n.d., accessed 2 November 2018. ​ 2 ‘200 Years of Progress’, Sydney Morning Herald, 27 April 1970.

    CLArion No 1712 – 01 Dec 2017 Email newsletter of Civil Liberties Australia (A04043) Email: Secretary(at)cla.asn.au Web: http://www.cla.asn.au/ ____________________________________________ What should CLA prioritise in 2018? In preparing for major areas of interest in 2018, Civil Liberties Australia is seeking input from members and friends on what areas of concern we prioritise. Our preliminary thoughts are to elevate concerns for the rights of people in aged care and nursing homes, and the rights to free speech and association for athletes and sports people. These will be added to our other mainstream activities: monitoring and commenting on legislation before parliaments throughout Australia (including the Right To Appeal amendment), keeping a close eye on the behaviour of police and the misbehaviour of forensic science laboratories, drawing attention to the urgent need for a national review of the legal/justice system, and a Bill of Rights for Tasmania. In other areas – refugees, euthanasia and juvenile Indigenous detention are good examples – we actively back up other groups who have those issues as their core focus. Concern for rights in aged care arose from an odd source: a CLA member is about to enter a facility, but cannot take her cat with her. Cutting long correspondence short, it turns out residents of the facility have the right to vote on such issues…but nobody has told them. As well as financial, medical and end-of-life issues, we think this lack of awareness of, and education about, the rights of aged people is a major and growing concern. Athletes and sportspeople are frequently ‘abused’ by sophisticated managers, marketers and code managers who dangle what seems to be large sums of money in front of their eyes.
