2017: A pivotal year in Canadian immigration

To say 2017 was a busy year for Canadian immigration would be a bit like saying Mozart was pretty good at piano. From the thousands of asylum seekers from Haiti and other countries fleeing uncertainty in the United States to the record numbers posted by Canada’s Express Entry selection system, 2017 saw Canada’s immigration system […]

Catholicism, the Irish Diaspora and the Making of Greater Ireland

Venue: The Cardinal Knox Centre, University of Divinity, St Patrick’s Cathedral

Presenters: Dr Colin Barr

The Irish Augustinian James Goold of Melbourne was one of the great diaspora of Irish clerics across the English-speaking world in the first half of the 19th century. Irish priests, brothers and nuns built the infrastructure of institutional Catholicism not only in Australia, but also New Zealand, the United States, South Africa, India, Canada and Newfoundland. Their church was surprisingly homogeneous, with adherents in Boston often having more in common with their fellow Catholics in Ballarat than with their Protestant neighbours.

But this global network was based on more than simply a shared ethnicity. Many of its leaders were formed in Italy, and in particular in the Rome of Leo XII, Pius VIII, and Gregory XVI. Most had been educated at the Irish College in Rome (or later its global clones) under the influence of Paul Cullen, later archbishop of Dublin and from 1866 Ireland’s first cardinal. Together they inculcated a distinctive fusion of Irish identity and Roman practice around the world. In many places, including Australia, this Hiberno-Roman Catholicism came to be normative. It has certainly proved to be durable. Although an Augustinian without close links to Cullen, Goold nevertheless shared much in common with his more avowedly Hiberno-Roman peers.

This keynote presentation by Dr Colin Barr presentation will set Goold in this wider, global context, both to properly situate Victoria’s first bishop within Catholicism’s Greater Ireland, but also to identify those areas where he pursued a more individualistic path.

This keynote lecture is part of an international symposium A Baroque Bishop in Colonial Australia: The Cultural Patronage of Bishop James Goold (1812–1886).

Presented by the Australian Institute of Art History, within the School of Culture and Communication, and in partnership with the University of Divinity. Dr Colin's Barr's attendance at the symposium is generously supported by the Macgeorge Bequest.

Current pledges under the Paris Climate Agreement are inadequate, but the agreement is intended to evolve over time. The Paris Agreement is designed to increase action through a ratchet mechanism obligating countries to put forward stronger targets, political pressure and a 'signal' to investors to transition towards low-emissions activities.

This presentation provides an analysis of how Paris could work over time from a systems dynamics perspective. It shows that there is neither strong evidence nor theoretical grounds to believe that peer-pressure, the ratchet mechanism or the low-emissions investment signal will work. The agreement also contains inbuilt delays which are likely to push agreed global temperature targets out of reach. Paris as an architecture for changing state behaviour in a sufficient timescale is likely to fail. Yet, understanding the Paris Agreement as a system also provides the basis for improving it.

Venue: Theatre G06, Elisabeth Murdoch

Presenters: Professor Ben Shneiderman

Solving the immense problems of the 21st century will require ambitious research teams skilled at producing practical solutions and foundational theories simultaneously. The solutions need to be 'Applied and Basic Combined' (the ABC principle). The research teams can then deliver high-impact outcomes by blending 'Science, Engineering and Design Thinking' (the SED principle), which encourages use of the methods from all three disciplines. These guiding principles (ABC and SED) aim to replace Vannevar Bush’s flawed linear model from 1945 that has misled researchers for over 70 years.

In this seminar, Professor Shneiderman will discuss how these new guiding principles will enable students, researchers, academic leaders and government policymakers to accelerate discovery and innovation.

There are strong intimations that, in the midst of its remarkable economic advance, China may be returning to a form of imperial rule. Observers suggest that it is re-establishing a leadership personality cult. The centralised, personalised authority restored by Mao did not die with him but is currently being resurrected. China seems to be engaged in an astonishing attempt to modernise its economy while reverting to its traditional autocratic polity.

How accurate are these observations? What was Mao’s legacy? Does it still shape modern China?

Global Governance in Crisis? How to Tackle New Challenges amid an Inevitable Pivot to Asia

Venue: Room 102, Level 1, Law

Presenters: Dr Flávio Campestrin Bettarello

There is near consensus that the 21st century will have the Asia-Pacific region at its centre stage. The world’s economic center of gravity steadily drifts towards the East, and an emerging Asian middle class will drive consumption for decades to come. Global and regional actors are adjusting to this new reality, in several different levels: geo-strategic, ideological and economic. On all these spheres, we will witness a constant struggle by major players to find a fine balance between competition and cooperation.

There are challenges to tackle on many fronts: nuclear insecurity, perceived expansionism, currency misalignments, unfair trade, vulnerable migration flows and ethnic conflicts. There is also room for many opportunities, particularly in the development of new infrastructure, innovation clusters, booming markets and integrated value chains.

Which trends will prevail, positive or negative ones? Will the rebalancing towards the Asia-Pacific bring stability and prosperity, or crisis and volatility? How will the regional directions impact the world, and how will the global powers affect the region? Finally, are the current mechanisms of international governance prepared to provide the coordination and responses that we need?

Waving to the Other Side: The Language of Poetry in Indigenous Australian Song

Venue: Elisabeth Murdoch Theatre A (Room G06), Elisabeth Murdoch

Presenters: Professor Nicholas Evans

Poetry and song are inextricably interwoven in most Indigenous Australian traditions. Yet the poetic masterpieces found across the continent are little known outside their immediate communities, tied up as they are with the intricacies of the languages they are sung in. As a result, Australia has little awareness of the many hundreds of Shakespeares, Keatses and Bob Dylans whose poetic masterpieces are composed in First Nations languages. The same goes for the continent’s rich and varied Indigenous musical traditions.

In this talk Professor Evans will give a glimpse into the richness of the poetic language found across a number of Australian indigenous traditions, focusing on allusive subtlety, inner feeling, multilingual characterisation, the deployment of vocabulary and grammar for expressive nuance, and the role of song in maintaining language knowledge through the powerful emotional charge it generates.

The title of the talk is taken from some lines of a Mayali song by the late and great Djorli Laywanga, a Dalabon songman: Kurebe ngadjowkke ngawayudwayudme, marrek berlnayiii, marrek nuk berlnayiii. ‘From the other side of the river I am waving, I couldn’t see your arm waving back, Maybe I missed your arm waving’.

Professor Evans hopes that the close readings of several poetic masterpieces to be undertaken during the lecture will help span what is seen and heard across the river.

The Top Masters in Finance Programs 2018

Venue: Basement, Copland Theatre, the Spot

Presenters: Professor Hilary Hoynes

Downing Lecture 2017

A common framework for evaluating human capital, training and early life stimulation/parenting programs is as an investment: resources are invested upfront that generate returns over the longer run (in terms of education, labor market, health, etc.).

Paradoxically, we don’t typically evaluate social assistance programs within this same lens. Instead, anti-poverty programs are typically evaluated by comparing current period benefits (to reducing poverty) to the costs (fiscal cost and distortive efficiency costs of the redistribution).

In this talk, Professor Hilary Hoynes will summarise the recent and growing literature that examines the benefits of the social safety net over the longer run. There is particular interest in evaluating the effects of childhood exposure and access to social assistance programs and how they affect later life education, labor market and health outcomes. These important findings allow us to quantify how investing when children are young can translate to private and public benefits in the longer run.

Hilary Hoynes is a Professor of Economics and Public Policy and holds the Haas Distinguished Chair in Economic Disparities at the University of California Berkeley.

Joan Kerr: The Making of a Feminist Art Historian

Venue: Forum Theatre, Arts West

Presenters: Associate Professor Joanna Mendelssohn

Ursula Hoff Lecture 2017

When Professor Joan Kerr was diagnosed with terminal cancer in the year before her death in 2004, her friends were determined that her intellectual legacy should continue. The reason for this was not just friendship, nor a determination that a great feminist scholar should survive the strange machismo of Australian art historiography. Rather it was a recognition that Kerr’s inclusive approach was especially rewarding as a way of mapping Australian art and its objects. By challenging the traditional hierarchies of media and association that privileged both oil painting and networks of mateship, Kerr revealed a rich tapestry that not only expanded the number of people considered to be artists but also questioned the nature of what we call art.

Despite the radical outcomes of her research, Kerr’s methodology was based on the observational methodology of Nikolaus Pevsner and the lessons learnt by ‘reading’ the object. This public lecture – delivered by Associate Professor Joanna Mendelssohn, art historian, University of New South Wales – will examine Joan Kerr’s eminent career and provide insights into the events and intellectual movements that shaped her thinking.

The Australian Institute of Art History is pleased to assist the Ursula Hoff Institute in presenting the annual Ursula Hoff Lecture for 2017 and acknowledges the generous support of the S R Stoneman Foundation.

The New ABCs of Research: Achieving Breakthrough Collaborations

Venue: Theatre G06, Elisabeth Murdoch

Presenters: Professor Ben Shneiderman

Solving the immense problems of the 21st century will require ambitious research teams skilled at producing practical solutions and foundational theories simultaneously. The solutions need to be 'Applied and Basic Combined' (the ABC principle). The research teams can then deliver high-impact outcomes by blending 'Science, Engineering and Design Thinking' (the SED principle), which encourages use of the methods from all three disciplines. These guiding principles (ABC and SED) aim to replace Vannevar Bush’s flawed linear model from 1945 that has misled researchers for over 70 years.

In this seminar, Professor Shneiderman will discuss how these new guiding principles will enable students, researchers, academic leaders and government policymakers to accelerate discovery and innovation.

There have been a number of recent enforcement actions in the United States alleging that major fossil fuel companies, such as ExxonMobil Corp and Peabody Energy, have not adequately or appropriately disclosed the risks posed to their businesses by climate change, as required under US federal securities law.

Climate change risk encompass both physical and non-physical risks. Physical risks involve damage to assets and disruption to operations caused by extreme events. Non-physical risks involve the need to comply with change climate regulatory requirements, the indirect effects of those requirements, and business trends that include declining demand for carbon intensive products. The rationale behind these requirements in that full and timely disclosure of material business risks is critical to market transparency. In addition, information on the climate risk exposure of companies is increasingly sought by large-scale investors to support their long term decision-making.

Australian corporate and securities law is broadly similar to that in the US. As confirmed by a recent legal opinion issued by Sydney barristers Noel Hutley SC and Sebastian Hartford-Davis for the Centre for Policy Development and the Future Business Council, Australian listed companies have obligations to disclose material business risks posed by climate change, with potential liability implications for company directors who fail to consider and disclose foreseeable climate risks. This presentation explores recent developments in the US and the likelihood of similar actions in Australia.

More than three years have passed since Narendra Modi steered the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to a spectacular victory in India’s Parliamentary elections and assumed office as the country’s 14th Prime Minister in May 2014.

Modi’s Prime Ministership has been eagerly followed and discussed. The period has witnessed heightened engagement between India and the rest of the world along with implementation of policies for reforming the economy, domestic institutions and governance.

Nonetheless, significant challenges persist on the economic front, where expectations remain unfulfilled. This seminar will review the past three years identifying the achievements of the Modi government and the pressing issues it needs to address for taking India forward on the path of long-term economic prosperity while ensuring social stability.

Dr Amitendu Palit is Senior Research Fellow and Research Lead (Trade and Economic Policy) at the Institute of South Asian Studies (ISAS) in the National University of Singapore (NUS).

Making Mobility Work

Venue: Theatre A (G06), Elisabeth Murdoch Theatre A

Presenters: Professor Craig Jeffrey

Professor Craig Jeffrey will identify four new opportunities for staff and student mobility between India and Australia through drawing on key successful case studies of Australia-India mobility and India-US and India-UK mobility. He will reflect in particular on what made these case studies successful and their replicability.

The presentation will emphasise a need to embed educational mobility strategies in a thorough understanding of the context in which higher education is evolving in Australia and India, including concerted reflection on the Indian Government's priorities in terms of staff/student mobility.

Picturing the Bust: Documenting the Celtic Tiger 10 Years On

Venue: Theatre 3, Alan Gilbert Building

Presenters: Mr Nicholas Grundy

Ireland's Celtic Tiger property bubble came undone in 2007 when the country's own banking system collapsed prior to the GFC. As a result of this building boom, Ireland was left pockmarked by thousands of ghost houses, apartment buildings, offices and retail complexes. Ten years later and the Irish government and media, sheltered in newly booming Dublin, prefer to put the past behind them and ignore the remnants of the Celtic Tiger.

Nicholas Grundy's work documenting the legacy of the construction boom reveals the more than 300 ghost housing estates and other objects still dotting the landscape today. Of particular concern are two current trends. Firstly, the recent reemergence of the so-called Celtic Phoenix, motivated by a severe housing shortage across Ireland as well as a lack of office space for the much-hoped-for influx of Brexit corporations leaving London. Dublin's crane count today is fast approaching that of its peak in 2006/2007. Secondly, the over-inflated property market of Australia echoes that of the Celtic Tiger. The parallels displayed in the research, photography and videography of Nicholas Grundy reveal what we could soon see in cities such as Melbourne and Sydney, as was previously seen in Ireland, the United States and Spain.

Liability for Misleading Disclosure of Climate Risk

Venue: Seminar Room, Level 1, 257

Presenters: Professor Jacqueline Peel

There have been a number of recent enforcement actions in the United States alleging that major fossil fuel companies, such as ExxonMobil Corp and Peabody Energy, have not adequately or appropriately disclosed the risks posed to their businesses by climate change, as required under US federal securities law.

Climate change risk encompass both physical and non-physical risks. Physical risks involve damage to assets and disruption to operations caused by extreme events. Non-physical risks involve the need to comply with change climate regulatory requirements, the indirect effects of those requirements, and business trends that include declining demand for carbon intensive products. The rationale behind these requirements in that full and timely disclosure of material business risks is critical to market transparency. In addition, information on the climate risk exposure of companies is increasingly sought by large-scale investors to support their long term decision-making.

Australian corporate and securities law is broadly similar to that in the US. As confirmed by a recent legal opinion issued by Sydney barristers Noel Hutley SC and Sebastian Hartford-Davis for the Centre for Policy Development and the Future Business Council, Australian listed companies have obligations to disclose material business risks posed by climate change, with potential liability implications for company directors who fail to consider and disclose foreseeable climate risks. This presentation explores recent developments in the US and the likelihood of similar actions in Australia.

Boston (USA) Vacation Travel Video Guide

Venue: Seminar Room, Australia India Institute, the University of Melbourne

Presenters: Nonie Tuxen

International education is an increasingly prevalent life choice for young, urban, upper-middle-class Indians, for whom transnational mobility is perceived as an important experience in the transition into adulthood. This presentation will explore the complex relationships between how international education is imagined and how class status is (re)produced in Mumbai, India.

Literature concerning the Indian middle class tends to conceptualise class statuses within national boundaries, not often considering global mobility as an important component of upper-middle class status and the classed boundaries that are thus constructed according not only to who is mobile and who is not, but how they are mobile. Drawing from both student mobility literature and theories of class and capital, I analyse how various actors in Mumbai – prospective international students, their parents, students returned to Mumbai, and industry players such as university representatives and education agents/counsellors – imagine international education in relation to the (re)production of class.

Using data gathered from in-depth interviews in Mumbai in which participants discussed their perceptions of international education, its value and its outcomes, This talk will argue that there are significant nuances in how capital is understood, embodied, and made distinct within the granular class hierarchies that constitute the urban upper-middle class.

Student messages of thanks on National Philanthropy Day

Venue: Australian-German Climate and Energy College, Level 1, 257

Presenters: Dr Anne Kallies

Smart infrastructure such as smart meters provide the platform for the introduction of innovative, information-based energy technologies designed to promote systemic energy efficiency and to transition energy markets toward more sustainable and cost effective outcomes. Smart meters in particular carry the promise of innovation in electricity markets – as an enabler of demand-side services and a more distributed energy system.

At the same time, they present enormous challenges for policy makers. Legal frameworks have to navigate between an increasing number of potentially contestable roles and at the same time realise consumer protection as well as consumer participation.

This seminar will present three case studies of legal reform supporting smart meter introduction – two from Australia and one from Germany.

Recurrent themes that emerge from the case studies show that the innovation promise of smart meters requires the underpinning legal system to address the wider social and economic implications of these changes. Key factors requiring attention are a consideration of who bears the cost for the implementation of the technologies, and the use and security of consumer energy information.

How to achieve...an affordable tertiary education sector

Venue: G06 (formally known as Theatre A) , Elisabeth Murdoch

Presenters: Professor Stephen Parker, Mr Mark Warburton, Dr Gigi Foster, Professor Leo Goedegebuure

Higher education reform needs to have a bold vision and be affordable – to both students and the government. University enrolments have exploded in recent years, but how well is this serving the needs of individuals and the economy.

Will governments continue to have an appetite for funding uncapped growth in the university sector; certainly recent attempts to push more of the cost burden onto students have failed. Should Australia follow the UK’s lead in reimagining a holistic post-secondary education sector that pulls down the boundaries between vocational and higher education? Are there new models of delivery and new qualifications and credentials that should be considered? Would that help address the growing HELP debt crisis for both students and government? Will the push for tuition-free higher education in the UK have traction here? What do we know about return on investment of a degree?

Speakers: Stephen Parker, KPMG; Gigi Foster, UNSW; Mark Warburton, policy expert.

Co-hosted by the Melbourne Centre for the Study of Higher Education and KPMG.
