In researcher development, are we missing men, fixing women, or creating gender trouble
There is significant, extant literature on different aspects of gender inequality and gendered norms in higher education. However, there is relatively limited engagement with how these insights relate specifically to researcher development. Here, we begin by exploring our pedagogical observations about gendered patterns of participation in a researcher development program at a mid-tier Australian university, with the aim of initiating a discourse…
Not Getting Over It: The Impact of Sara Ahmed's Work within Critical University Studies
This forum-style paper presents contributions by scholars from the area of Critical University Studies (CUS). It articulates the ways that particular concepts from Sara Ahmed’s scholarship have influenced or been useful in CUS. Across her scholarship, Ahmed offers intersectional perspectives on exclusionary practices and structures that many within CUS have drawn upon. The contributors to this paper hail from and research across a diverse range o…
Interview: Know thy neighbours—Asian Australian Studies helps you know thyself
The unfolding consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic are particularly salient for Asian Australian Studies and its communities. These include heightened levels of anti-Asian abuse, a drastic fall in international student numbers and subsequent tertiary sector decimation, austere times for creative arts and community work, and the fraught politics of essential workers in low-paid jobs. COVID-19 did not create any of these issues but they have been …
Asian Australian Mobilities—Cultural, Social, and Political
This special issue was developed from the fifth Asian Australian Studies Research Network (AASRN) conference, held at the Immigration Museum in Melbourne on 26–27 November 2015. The theme for the c

Wartime Fundraising by Chinese Australian Communities
Australian society functioned under the Immigration Restriction Act from 1901 until the 1970s, and relatively little has been written about Chinese Australian lives and experiences during that period. At a time when national legislation threatened their community viability and sense of belonging, and prevented many of them from active military service, Chinese Australians invested significantly in philanthropic, patriotic activities. This pattern…
Dragon Tails: Re-interpreting Chinese Australian History
In 1984, NOTED historian Jennifer Cushman challenged researchers to move beyond the prevalent one-dimensional approach to understanding the Chinese presence in Australia, which primarily examined the nation’s colonialist attitudes towards the Chinese.1 Similarly, writing about Chinese families and exclusion in the United States, Adam McKeown argued in 1999 that the field needs ‘to interrogate more carefully the interactions of the Chinese with [t…
Going for gold: Creating a Chinese heritage festival in Nundle, New South Wales
Cultural tourism has become one of Australian tourism's most lucrative sectors, and the regional location of many of its prime sites and events means that increasing numbers of visitors are travelling beyond the major cities for ‘authentic’ local experiences. This paper focuses on Nundle's ‘Go for Gold Festival’, which is held annually over the Easter weekend. For its first six years, the festival had no relationship with Chinese heritage but in …
Asian Australia and Asian America: Making Transnational Connections
As this special issue of Amerasia Journal is being finalized, President Obama's office is still planning his first official visit to Australia and Indonesia, after two previously postponed trips. The planned visit to Jakarta has been portrayed as a homecoming of sorts for the President, who spent four years in the world's largest Muslim country as a boy when his mother married an Indonesian man, Lolo Soetoro. The young Barry Soetoro, as he was th…
Pinoy TV: Imagining the Filipino-Australian community
Both ethnic community television and representations of Filipino-Australian community are underrepresented areas in Australian cultural studies scholarship. With existing work focusing on the ways in which Asian Australian communities may consume media sources, this article examines cultural representations of Filipino-Australians and modes of addressing an imagined Filipino-Australian ‘community’. Through a nuanced reading of the creation and de…
Introduction: Asia@Home: new directions in Asian Australian Studies
The year 2008 appears to have been a good one for Asian Australia. We have a Mandarin-speaking Prime Minister, our first Asian Australian front-bencher, Penny Wong, and discussion about support for the teaching of Asian languages in Australian schools back on the agenda. This has prompted us to ask: Are Asian Australians feeling more at home today? The title of this special issue -'Asia@Home'- flags a particular set of sociopolitical positionings…

Culture, Identity, Commodity: Diasporic Chinese Literatures in English
From David Henry Hwang's M. Butterfly to Evelyn Lau's Diary of a Runaway to Fred Wah's poetry, diasporic Chinese literature in English is reaching wider audiences. The interdisciplinary essays in Culture, Identity, Commodity provide close textual readings and general theoretical frameworks for a range of textual productions - novels, autobiographies, plays, and Chinese cooking shows - that address this dynamic field

Banana Bending: Asian-Australian and Asian-Canadian Literatures
Asian-Australian and Asian-Canadian writers exist within the realities of specific national contexts that are not necessarily bypassed by configurations of the diasporic community. Tseen-Ling Khoo shows that Asian-Canadian and Asian-Australian literatures are developing in dissimilar ways because of demographic and geographical differences, the degree of governmental intervention through cultural policy initiatives, and the levels of encouragemen…
