The 2007 Asia-Pacific Week will be convened by the Korea, Japan and
Paific programs at the ANU.
Pacific Program
The Australian National University is widely recognised as one of the
world's leading centres of Pacific Islands studies. Pacific scholars
in the College of Asia and the Pacific are dedicated to understanding
the region's history, politics, cultures, economies, international
relations and strategic situation. Many are authors of the key books
and articles on the region, travel there frequently, serve as
consultants on Pacific issues, and offer policy advice to governments
and regional organisations. Graduate supervision and training are also
valued aspects of our duties.
As in the past, ANU will be organising a special week of activities
for graduate students from Asia and the Pacific in early 2007,
supported by The Pacific Centre, AusAID through the State, Society and Governance in
Melanesia and the International Centre for Excellence in Asia Pacific
Studies. Australian and New Zealand students currently engaged in
Pacific studies research at either honours or graduate studies level
are invited to attend a three-day Pacific Studies workshop in Canberra
at the ANU, from 28 January to 1 February 2007.
The workshop will feature 15-20 minute presentations on any aspect of
their research from each of the students participating, while a
selection of ANU Pacific Studies staff will offer brief summaries of
their current research. Film screenings and guided introductions to
research resources and trips around Canberra will also be offered.
Some participants will receive financial support for accommodation and
meals. A partial contribution to travel costs will also be available
to selected participants.
The Pacific sessions will be held in Seminar Room A (map) of the Coombs Building
from Monday 29 to Wednesday 31 January.
