PhD Scholarship to pursue research on China in the Pacific
Reply-To: Richard Eves <richard.eves@ANU.EDU.AU
The State, Society and Governance in Melanesia Program (SSGM) is seeking
up to two highly motivated students to pursue doctoral research concerning
China in the Pacific from early 2014. The scholarships provides an
opportunity for outstanding scholars with a background in political
science, anthropology, human geography, law, gender studies or development
studies, whose research interests complement the existing expertise within
the Program. The appointees will be expected to work on Chinese
engagement in Melanesia in relation to one of the following areas: the
Agricultural sector, Fisheries sector, Extractive Industries and/or Social
Inclusion.
Chinese nationals and Pacific Islanders are particularly encouraged to apply.
The successful applicant(s) will be enrolled as a full-time PhD candidate
within the SSGM Program. The scholarship will be available for three years
beginning in 2014 and will carry a tax-exempt annual stipend of
approximately AUD $24,653 (2013 rate). The successful applicant will also
be eligible for up to $10,000 for fieldwork, $3000 for international
conference attendance and $1000 for professional development.
Top up scholarships to the value of AUD $10,000 are also potentially
available for Australian or New Zealand students who successfully secure
an Australian Postgraduate Award.
For overseas students, the scholarship also includes full tuition fees,
basic health insurance, establishment allowance and contribution to visa
expenses. These benefits are for the scholar only as SSGM is not able to
provide assistance for dependents.
State, Society and Governance in Melanesia
The State, Society and Governance in Melanesia Program is a vibrant unit
in the School of International, Political and Strategic Studies in the ANU
College of Asia and the Pacific and is a leading centre for applied
research on contemporary Melanesia, Timor Leste and the wider Pacific.
SSGM offers the most significant concentration of scholars anywhere in the
world conducting policy-relevant research and advanced analysis of social
change, governance, development, politics and state-society relations in
our region. By 2014 our program will comprise 25 academic staff and a
similar number of doctoral students.
From its inception SSGM was envisaged as a dedicated group of scholars
with deep knowledge of countries in the region and a commitment to richly
textured long-term empirical research. In addition to its scholarly goals,
SSGM maintains a strong commitment to active engagement with policy
communities in the region and Australia. Our research and analysis is
cross disciplinary and is situated squarely at the intersection between
disciplinary and area studies. We see this as a major strength that adds
considerable depth to our work. SSGM's research program is oriented around
four thematic clusters:
Politics, Elections, Leadership & Governance Conflict, Justice & Peace
Building, Livelihoods, Rural Development & Extractive Industries Gender,
Health and Social Development

The Coach House Institute, Toronto
14:00-15:00, October 24, 2013
The Coach House Institute (formerly known as the Centre for Culture and
Technology
under Professor Marshall Herbert McLuhan) will begin its yearlong, public
Culture
and Technology Lecture Series, in celebration of its 50th anniversary.
The inaugural speaker is Dominique Wolton
Research Director, French National Centre for Scientific Research
The Culture and Technology Lecture Series is a student-led initiative,
organized by
PhD and Masters students interested in the concept of information. This
initiative
has been planned in conjunction to the launch of the Culture & Technology
concentration to the Faculty of Information Master of Information program
to start
in fall 2013 highlighting core research strengths in the field of Culture &
Technology.
Lectures in the Series will focus on whether, and if so how, fundamental
theories of
information incorporate, accommodate, or abstract away from the diverse
epistemic
and ontological commitments of varied communities. Our target is the cultural
dimension of information, that is -- not merely the contextual specificity of
information content and use, but cultural specificities in the notion of
information
itself.
Speakers confirmed in this year's Lecture Series include:

Location: Fenn Lounge, Residence Commons

1125 Colonel By Drive, Ottawa, ON
**Bilingual Conference
The Champlain in theAnishinabe Aki : History and Memory of an Encounter
Colloquium
– September 19 & 20
Fenn Lounge, Residence Commons, Carleton University (parking, lot P6)This
two-day colloquium will bring together scholars, community heritage
activists, and cultural policy makers to consider the place of Samuel de
Champlain in collective memory. The 400th anniversary of Champlain's
arrival in the Ottawa-Gatineau area provides the occasion for this
gathering. It will provide an opportunity to reflect on the local
celebrations attending this anniversary while placing them in the context
of representations of Champlain in Canadian collective consciousness more
generally. As Champlain's journey up the Ottawa (Outaouais/Kichi Sibi)
River in 1613 marked an early milestone in the relationship between
European and
Anishinabeg or Algonquin peoples, this gathering will also problematize
the use of the French explorer as a point of entry into questions of early
contact between First Nations and European cultures in the Americas.
Historians of memory have long been fascinated by how disparate social
groups with different perspectives on the past negotiate the meaning of
commemorative events. The Champlain anniversary offers a dramatic case
study of this phenomenon stemming from the fundamental disparity between
Aboriginal perspectives on the event and those of Euro-Canadian
communities. While the latter groups have by and large initiated this
commemoration because they saw the arrival of a famous European explorer
and the Father of New France as something to celebrate, Aboriginal peoples
have tended to view this historical moment as the beginning of centuries
of cultural, economic and political conflict that would threaten their
very survival as a people. Yet the anniversary of Champlain's visit
offered at the same time an opportunity to raise awareness in the broader
community of its impact on First Nations and to make known the aboriginal
perspective. For this reason, Aboriginal participation is fundamental to
the purpose of the colloquium and a prerequisite for its success.The
colloquium will serve as part of the wrap-up of festivities that will take
place in the Ottawa-Gatineau region over the spring and summer of 2013 to
mark the anniversary of Champlain's passage up the Ottawa River. It will
include representatives of voluntary and government organizations from the
national capital region who, by this time, will have been working together
on the Champlain
commemoration for the previous eighteen months. The participation of these
drivers of commemoration in this after-the-fact reflection and analysis
represents a unique feature of this event. Participants will also include
local academics who have been involved in the process from the start, as
well as scholars from further afield with a special expertise on
Champlain, his time, and how he is remembered elsewhere. The interaction
of those with direct and intense experience of a recent local
commemoration with others knowledgeable about similar phenomena elsewhere
promises to yield fruitful and productive discussion. By capturing
information and generating knowledge about Aboriginal-European contact in
the region and the contemporary politics of its commemoration, this event
will inform pedagogy,
research, and future collaborative projects in the region, ensuring that the
public resources and community efforts invested in the Champlain 400th
have an enduring legacy.The keynote event will be a round table on the
legacy of
Champlain, between an Aboriginal expert, a French and a Canadian historian
of New France, held at the Museum of Civilization at the end of the first
day. This will be followed by the inauguration of a sound and light
installation at the statue of Champlain at Point Nepean.
This website will serve as a platform for preliminary
exchanges, and the collection and the preparation of didactic material,
exhibitions and creations. A collection of the best scholarly papers will
be
prepared for publication by a university press.

Fenn Lounge, Residence Commons, Carleton University (parking, lot P6)Le
colloque «Champlain dans l' Anishinabe Aki: histoire et mémoire d'une
rencontre » , qui se tiendra sur deux jours, le 19 & 20 septembre, réunira
des chercheurs, des intervenants patrimoniaux et des gestionnaires de
politique culturelle. En ce 400e anniversaire du premier voyage de
Champlain dans la Région de la Capitale nationale, ils réfléchiront à la
place de Champlain dans la mémoire collective et aux célébrations
soulignant cet anniversaire, tout en replaçant celles-ci dans l'histoire
des représentations de Champlain. La remontée de la rivière des Outaouais
(Kichi Sibi) par Champlain en 1613 constitue à la fois un tournant majeur
dans les relations entre Européens et Anishhinabeg ou Algonquins
(histoire) et une porte d'entrée dans l'univers fascinant de la mémoire
collective. En effet,
les historiens de la mémoire sont depuis longtemps fascinés par la façon
dont différents groupes sociaux qui ont des perpectives différentes sur le
passé, négocient la signification des événements commémoratifs. Le
400eanniversaire de Champlain en Ontario en offre un exemple dramatique,
les perspectives des autochtones et des Euro-canadiens étant à l'opposé
l'une de l'autre. Pour les premiers, l'arrivée de Champlain dans
l'Outaouais représente le début de conflits culturels, économiques et
politiques multiséculaires pour leur survie, alors que les derniers
veulent célébrer le « père de la Nouvelle-France ». Toutefois,
l'anniversaire de Champlain est une occasion de faire prendre conscience à
la population de l'impact de son passage dans l'Outaouais sur les
autochtones et de faire connaître leurs perspectives sur l'événement.
C'est pour cette raison que la participation d'intervenants autochtones au
colloque est fondamentale.Le colloque
va boucler une série d'activités soulignant le 400eanniversaire du passage
de Champlain dans la Région de la Capitale nationale. Il donnera la parole
aux représentants de diverses organisations communautaires et
gouvernementales qui auront depuis dix-huit mois travaillé à la
commémoration de la rencontre entre Champlain et les Algonquins. Le
colloque est unique en ce qu'il leur permettra de réfléchir à leurs
pratiques commémoratives. Le colloque incluera aussi des universitaires de
la région ainsi que des spécialistes de l'extérieur. L'interaction entre
des personnes ayant pris part aux commémorations locales et des personnes
qui ont analysé des phénomènes semblables ailleurs constitue une promesse
d'une discussion productive.

Champlain in collective memory. The 400th anniversary of Champlain's
arrival in the Ottawa-Gatineau area provides the occasion for this
gathering. It will provide an opportunity to reflect on the local
celebrations attending this anniversary while placing them in the context
of representations of Champlain in Canadian collective consciousness more
generally. As Champlain's journey up the Ottawa (Outaouais/Kichi Sibi)
River in 1613 marked an early milestone in the relationship between
European and
Anishinabeg or Algonquin peoples, this gathering will also problematize
the use of the French explorer as a point of entry into questions of early
contact between First Nations and European cultures in the Americas.
Historians of memory have long been fascinated by how disparate social
groups with different perspectives on the past negotiate the meaning of
commemorative events. The Champlain anniversary offers a dramatic case
study of this phenomenon stemming from the fundamental disparity between
Aboriginal perspectives on the event and those of Euro-Canadian
communities. While the latter groups have by and large initiated this
commemoration because they saw the arrival of a famous European explorer
and the Father of New France as something to celebrate, Aboriginal peoples
have tended to view this historical moment as the beginning of centuries
of cultural, economic and political conflict that would threaten their
very survival as a people. Yet the anniversary of Champlain's visit
offered at the same time an opportunity to raise awareness in the broader
community of its impact on First Nations and to make known the aboriginal
perspective. For this reason, Aboriginal participation is fundamental to
the purpose of the colloquium and a prerequisite for its success.The
colloquium will serve as part of the wrap-up of festivities that will take
place in the Ottawa-Gatineau region over the spring and summer of 2013 to
mark the anniversary of Champlain's passage up the Ottawa River. It will
include representatives of voluntary and government organizations from the
national capital region who, by this time, will have been working together
on the Champlain
commemoration for the previous eighteen months. The participation of these
drivers of commemoration in this after-the-fact reflection and analysis
represents a unique feature of this event. Participants will also include
local academics who have been involved in the process from the start, as
well as scholars from further afield with a special expertise on
Champlain, his time, and how he is remembered elsewhere. The interaction
of those with direct and intense experience of a recent local
commemoration with others knowledgeable about similar phenomena elsewhere
promises to yield fruitful and productive discussion. By capturing
information and generating knowledge about Aboriginal-European contact in
the region and the contemporary politics of its commemoration, this event
will inform pedagogy,
research, and future collaborative projects in the region, ensuring that the
public resources and community efforts invested in the Champlain 400th
have an enduring legacy.The keynote event will be a round table on the
legacy of
Champlain, between an Aboriginal expert, a French and a Canadian historian
of New France, held at the Museum of Civilization at the end of the first
day. This will be followed by the inauguration of a sound and light
installation at the statue of Champlain at Point Nepean.
This website will serve as a platform for preliminary
exchanges, and the collection and the preparation of didactic material,
exhibitions and creations. A collection of the best scholarly papers will
be
prepared for publication by a university press.
Program :
http://champlaincolloquium.files.wordpress.com/2013/09/mon-16-final-program-champlain-colloquium-english.pdf
Fenn Lounge, Residence Commons, Carleton University (parking, lot P6)Le
colloque «Champlain dans l' Anishinabe Aki: histoire et mémoire d'une
rencontre » , qui se tiendra sur deux jours, le 19 & 20 septembre, réunira
des chercheurs, des intervenants patrimoniaux et des gestionnaires de
politique culturelle. En ce 400e anniversaire du premier voyage de
Champlain dans la Région de la Capitale nationale, ils réfléchiront à la
place de Champlain dans la mémoire collective et aux célébrations
soulignant cet anniversaire, tout en replaçant celles-ci dans l'histoire
des représentations de Champlain. La remontée de la rivière des Outaouais
(Kichi Sibi) par Champlain en 1613 constitue à la fois un tournant majeur
dans les relations entre Européens et Anishhinabeg ou Algonquins
(histoire) et une porte d'entrée dans l'univers fascinant de la mémoire
collective. En effet,
les historiens de la mémoire sont depuis longtemps fascinés par la façon
dont différents groupes sociaux qui ont des perpectives différentes sur le
passé, négocient la signification des événements commémoratifs. Le
400eanniversaire de Champlain en Ontario en offre un exemple dramatique,
les perspectives des autochtones et des Euro-canadiens étant à l'opposé
l'une de l'autre. Pour les premiers, l'arrivée de Champlain dans
l'Outaouais représente le début de conflits culturels, économiques et
politiques multiséculaires pour leur survie, alors que les derniers
veulent célébrer le « père de la Nouvelle-France ». Toutefois,
l'anniversaire de Champlain est une occasion de faire prendre conscience à
la population de l'impact de son passage dans l'Outaouais sur les
autochtones et de faire connaître leurs perspectives sur l'événement.
C'est pour cette raison que la participation d'intervenants autochtones au
colloque est fondamentale.Le colloque
va boucler une série d'activités soulignant le 400eanniversaire du passage
de Champlain dans la Région de la Capitale nationale. Il donnera la parole
aux représentants de diverses organisations communautaires et
gouvernementales qui auront depuis dix-huit mois travaillé à la
commémoration de la rencontre entre Champlain et les Algonquins. Le
colloque est unique en ce qu'il leur permettra de réfléchir à leurs
pratiques commémoratives. Le colloque incluera aussi des universitaires de
la région ainsi que des spécialistes de l'extérieur. L'interaction entre
des personnes ayant pris part aux commémorations locales et des personnes
qui ont analysé des phénomènes semblables ailleurs constitue une promesse
d'une discussion productive.

"Dispersed But Not Destroyed: A History of the Seventeenth-Century Wendat
People"(UBC Press 2013)
7:00 pm
Friday, September 13, 2013
Typebooks
883 Queen St. West, Toronto
Kathryn Magee Labelle is an assistant professor in the History Department
at the University of Saskatchewan.
From UBC Press:
Situated within the area stretching from Georgian Bay in the north to Lake
Simcoe in the east (also known as Wendake), the Wendat Confederacy
flourished for two hundred years. By the mid-seventeenth century, however,
Wendat society was under attack.
Disease and warfare plagued the community, culminating in a series of
Iroquoisassaults that led to the dispersal of the Wendat people in 1649.
Yet the Wendat did not disappear, as many historians have maintained. In
Dispersed but Not Destroyed,Kathryn Magee Labelle examines the creation of
a Wendat diaspora in the wake of the Iroquois attacks. By focusing the
historical lens on the dispersal and its aftermath, she extends the
seventeenth-century Wendat narrative.
In the latter half of the century, Wendat leaders continued to appear at
councils, trade negotiations, and diplomatic ventures -- including the
Great Peace of Montreal in 1701 -- relying on established customs of
accountability and consensus. Women also continued to assert their
authority during this time, guiding their communities toward paths of
cultural continuity and accommodation. Through tactics such as this, the
power of the Wendat Confederacy and their unique identity was
maintained.
Turning the story of Wendat conquest on its head, this book demonstrates the
resiliency of the Wendat people and writes a new chapter in North American
history.
