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.

Camargue (France) Vacation Travel Video Guide

Venue: Australian-German Climate and Energy College, 257

Presenters: Dr Luke Kemp

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.

Paris (France) Vacation Travel Video Guide

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?

In Brazil, antitrust matters can be handled by an administrative tribunal and courts.

This lecture brings together two of the most relevant antitrust cases in Brazil, and discusses the challenges faced by courts, companies and lawyers in achieving a fair result, imposing fair sanctions, respecting procedural rules and avoiding sanction overlap, in accordance to the due process of law.

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?
