The Australian Association for the Advancement of Pacific Studies (AAAPS)
The Australian Association for the Advancement of Pacific Studies was
catalysed by International Centre for Excellence in Asia-Pacific Studies
in late 2004 and formally established in 2006 to provide a peak body for
all Australian Pacific scholars. The intensity and diversity of Pacific
research in Australia was showcased at the association’s inaugural conference
at QUT in Brisbane in January 2006. The AAAPS aims are to promote the
international excellence of Australian research and teaching in Pacific
Studies and to play an advocacy role with Government, NGOs, schools, business,
media and universities. AAAPS promotes Pacific Studies and its component
disciplines at the undergraduate and postgraduate level and the role of
Australian repositories in the collection, preservation and access to
Pacific Island research, cultural and historical materials. AAAPS encourages
excellence in the teaching of Pacific Studies through professional development
programs for university teachers and specifically the study of Australia-Pacific
Island relations. The Association has established and maintains links
with Pacific communities in Australia and through honorary correspondent
members maintains links with cognate organisations overseas.
