20.01.2022 All welcome! POSTGRADUATE WORKSHOPS Panel 2: 'Photographs and image rights in the publishing world'... Wednesday 25 November 2020, 3:00pm-4:30pm (AEDT) Register via link below Can you use images that you take from an archive? How about an informant who wishes to remain anonymous? What are the ethics of printing photographs from a politically unstable area? Does it matter if the images or photographs in question are produced or taken by the researcher? And when is it appropriate to request for your readers to locate the images on their own? This panel will provide tips from scholars from both visual and non-visual disciplines on how to prepare the images we collect, photograph and personally archive for possible publishing in the future. Speakers include: Dr Claire Roberts (Associate Professor of Art History and ARC Future Fellow in the School of Culture and Communication, University of Melbourne) Dr Susie Protschky (Senior Lecturer in History, Monash University) Dr Benjamin Hegarty (Mckenzie Postdoctoral Fellow in Anthropology at the School of Social and Political Sciences, University of Melbourne) Mr Wil Villareal (Liaison Librarian, University of Melbourne) http://asaa.asn.au/webinar-postgraduate-workshops/

02.01.2022 "On behalf of Asian Studies academics in Australia we express our grave concern about the potential closure of programs in Hindi and Indonesian at La Trobe University. The current funding crisis of the Australian university sector caused by the COVID-19 pandemic should not be an occasion to wind back teaching programs in areas of vital national significance. In the case of Hindi, La Trobe offers one of only two programs in this language, spoken by about 550 million people, i...n Australian universities (the other is at the Australian National University)... In the case of Indonesian, La Trobe has since 1989 offered a vibrant program in this language, as part of a relatively robust environment for the teaching of Indonesian nationally... Closing these programs involves elevating short-term calculation over long-term interest." We encourage supporters of Asian studies in Australia to sign the petitions linked below: Save Indonesian Studies at Latrobe: http://chng.it/dSXbJNvPQ7 Save Hindi Studies at Latrobe: http://chng.it/6SjqhRbWkM
