This project aims to address China’s One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative, utilising the concept of heritage diplomacy to interpret the role culture plays in shaping trade and diplomatic relations. This project expects to develop new knowledge about 21st Century diplomacy and the political drivers of heritage preservation today. Expected outcomes of the project include collaborations with OBOR think tanks and universities in Australia, China and Central Asia, and an open access-mapping database based on international heritage documentation standards. This should significantly assist Australian and heritage international agencies understand the large-scale forces and pressures that shape their future conservation policies in the region.Read moreRead less
Designing Australian schools: a spatial history of innovation, pedagogy and social change. This project will provide understanding of the design, educational and environmental motivations underpinning modern Australian schools in the twentieth-century, thus informing current ideas about the school as a centre of the broader social and local community fabric.
Cool living heritage in Southeast Asia: sustainable alternatives to air-conditioned cities. The challenges of reducing the carbon emissions of buildings are significant and complex.

Federated archaeological information management systems project: transforming archaeological research through digital technologies: This project will embed the federated archaeological information management systems infrastructure within six leading archaeology departments across Australia. It will develop and expand the mobile field recording system, the national data repository and a suite of online editing and visualisation tools to support archaeologists conducting research projects of national significance. By working closely with research projects and integrating the mobile platform and digital infrastructure within their workflow, this project will ensure that Australian archaeological research data is created in digital, structured, and reusable form, benefiting the preservation of Australian cultural heritage and promoting new research for decades to come.Read moreRead less
Citizen Heritage: Digital and Community-based Histories of Place. This interdisciplinary project investigates the potential for the citizens of local areas to generate new collective interpretations of their shared heritage and identity. A longitudinal case study will be conducted into the design and deployment of a digital and mobile tool for a particular urban precinct. Findings will reveal the viability of collaborative digital technologies to shape the experience of built places, and their c ....Citizen Heritage: Digital and Community-based Histories of Place. This interdisciplinary project investigates the potential for the citizens of local areas to generate new collective interpretations of their shared heritage and identity. A longitudinal case study will be conducted into the design and deployment of a digital and mobile tool for a particular urban precinct. Findings will reveal the viability of collaborative digital technologies to shape the experience of built places, and their capacity to balance expert and community knowledge. The study is significant for understanding grass-roots forms of history-making, and new forms of architectural heritage interpretation that capture social and intangible aspects of urban history.

Modern campuses created opportunities for the realisation of innovative solutions in urban planning, architecture and landscape. The project plans to reveal the physical impacts of political, institutional, social and cultural demands through comparative thematic investigation, digital visualisation and detailed case studies. Foregrounding landscape and site, the project aims to establish new historical knowledge, identify campuses as catalysts for urban thinking, and demonstrate strategies for their conservation and adaptation to meet future needs in the tertiary sector.Read moreRead less
'Sea change' communities: inter-generational perception and sense of place. The aim of this research is to establish a more rigorous method of evaluating the impact of the sea change process on the built and natural environments of coastal settlements. It will assist those communities to implement effective, place-sensitive sustainable planning and associated development practices.
The Crisis in International Heritage Conservation in an Age of Shifting Global Power. This project responds to the current crisis in international heritage conservation at a time of shifting global power. The flagship of heritage conservation, the world heritage system, faces multiple pressures and agendas that endanger sites and politicise decision-making at all levels, from local to global. This project focuses on four iconic sites, Abu Simbel, Angkor, Bagan and Sumatran Rainforests, and the w ....The Crisis in International Heritage Conservation in an Age of Shifting Global Power. This project responds to the current crisis in international heritage conservation at a time of shifting global power. The flagship of heritage conservation, the world heritage system, faces multiple pressures and agendas that endanger sites and politicise decision-making at all levels, from local to global. This project focuses on four iconic sites, Abu Simbel, Angkor, Bagan and Sumatran Rainforests, and the world heritage system itself, to reveal how pressures have grown and shifted since World War II, how they operate at multiple scales and what new expertise might be introduced. It will produce a report for UNESCO and publications that include recommendations for solving challenges that threaten international heritage conservation today.Read moreRead less
After Islamic State: Local-State-Global Heritage Dynamics in Syria and Iraq. This project aims to investigate the complexities of local-state-global dynamics in the destruction and reconstruction of Syrian and Iraqi heritage.

This project aims to investigate the complexities of local-state-global dynamics in the destruction and reconstruction of Syrian and Iraqi heritage. This project expects to generate conceptual and methodological innovation via an interdisciplinary approach that involves conducting and analysing surveys, interviews and archival research. Expected outcomes include unprecedented empirical insights into how the people of Syria and Iraq perceive their heritage, and the extent to which it aligns with the attitudes of key state and global actors. This should provide significant benefits, including shaping further intellectual inquiry, as well as the policies and responses of key state and global actors to heritage issues in the Middle East.Read moreRead less
