As the institute completes its ninth year of operation we are able to look back across a substantial record of achievement. The 100 or more researchers who have passed through the institute over that period have made important contributions in many fields of humanities and social sciences. Thousands of articles, book chapters, creative works and other writings have been published, millions of dollars of grant funding have been won and dozens of postgraduate research students and early career researchers have been helped on their way through research careers through supervision, mentoring and development facilities provided through the institute.

This year’s annual report again highlights the ongoing activities and achievements of members and their engagement at local, state, regional, national and international arenas. The work of institute members has been recognized through a range of prestigious awards and honours and the quality of their published work made available through some of the world’s leading academic publishers.

The past and present, then, are filled with outstanding results. What of the future?

In common with the Australian university system and the global world of knowledge, AAPI operates in a rapidly changing environment. We need to react quickly and flexibly to a range of internal and external demands for quality, volume, relevance, efficiency and related measures and priorities. The history of the institute suggests that we are able to evolve in accordance with such imperatives. In 2016 we expect to further develop our strategies and structures for providing a supportive and productive research environment through which our members can continue to excel.

Grace Q. Zhang Elastic language: How and why we stretch our words Grace Q. Zhang (2012 – 2015) This research investigates the elasticity of language, which appears to be an overlooked subject within the discipline of language studies.

Communicating strategically in Australian border control: The role of vagueness Grace Q. Zhang (2009 – continuing). This research is one of the few attempts to explore how Australians and non-Australians use vague language in televised encounters between custom officers and passengers. It will adopt an interactional approach (Jucker, 2003) to investigate how ‘communication games’ are played in high tension-prone situations. It draws on real-life data of interactions between officers of Australian Customs and passengers. This study is expected to reveal rich and dynamic linguistic and pragmatic uses of vague language. The findings will not only add conceptual dimensions to the study of pragmatics and intercultural communication, but will also provide useful guidelines to help achieve better mutual understanding, overcome communication breakdowns. 2015 outcome: Sabet, Peyman and Grace Q.

Recently, it has become evident to me that non-humans who are threatened by Research Networks development are, in actuality, not silent. Rather, they are often represented by a flagship species, such as the ARC Asia Pacific Futures Research Network Red-tailed Black Cockatoo, whose population decline ARC Cultural Research Network (due to habitat loss) speaks loudly and has encouraged Asian Australian Studies Research Network (AASRN) environmental activists to intervene in the planning Association of American Geographers system on their behalf. This mosaic illustrates how a flagship species often represents the many non- Australian Association for the Advancement of Pacific Studies (AAAPS) humans whose habitat is also threatened, yet cannot communicate in traditional human terms. Australian Learning and Teaching Fellows Network Ryan is currently a PhD student in Urban and Regional Australian Folklore Network (AFN) Planning at Curtin University and has a strong Australasian Consortium of Humanities Research interest in environmental and conservation issues. In Centres (ACHRC) particular Ryan has developed an acute awareness Centre for the Study of Democratic Institutions (CSDI), and concern for Western Australia’s endangered the University of British Columbia, Canada Carnaby’s Cockatoo, and the threatened Red-tailed Creative Workforce Initiative Black Cockatoo (as pictured on the cover). His research Historical Justice and Memory Research Network seeks to investigate how the needs of non-humans, (Swinburne University) such as these cockatoos, can be represented and elevated by environmental activists within land use Indian Ocean Research Group Inc planning processes and decision making, and how International Academic Forum (IAFOR), Nagoya, Japan such representation may result in the dominant International Union of Anthropological and anthropocentric ethical position of decision makers Ethnological Sciences (IUAES) shifting more towards a non-anthropocentric, or deep Kaldor Centre Emerging Scholars Network on Refugee ecological, stance. In a period of time characterised and Migration Studies, UNSW by multiple environmental crises, urban planning Research Network for a Secure Australia (RNSA) and the process of urban development remains relatively anthropocentric in its scope. Accordingly, Somatechnics Research Network, Macquarie University the research not only seeks to encourage a discussion Social Sciences Historical Justice and Memory of environmental ethics in the discipline of planning, Research Network, Swinburne University but it seeks to examine how to actively include non- Sources of Insecurity Research Network, Globalism humans in land use planning processes generally.
