The Australia Research Network is being established on the relatively straightforward principle of creating a series of linked intellectual spaces where research on Australia and discussion on research relating to Australia might be carried out. These spaces are shaped and to a considerable extent defined by the disciplines of the Humanities and Social Sciences.
A central expectation of the Network involves the facilitation of intellectual dialogue, the exchange of discrete and conceptual knowledge, but also the sharing of skills in those areas where Australia is the subject of research, wholly, in part or comparatively.
The Network has three main research clusters around:
- Australian Culture
- Australian History
- Australian Society
With an imbricating (virtual) node dedicated to
And a gateway dealing with international research on Australia
We can already begin to discern several sub-specialisations, probable combinations and approaches, but we are also mindful of the individual, inquisitive and serendipitous nature of much research and, therefore, of the sparkling additional possibilities through networking of those unplanned encounters that lead to original new work.
Whether in the nurturing of research or in its more systematic planning, the Network Nodes and the Network as an entirety are designed to facilitate academic cooperation. Such a basis for cooperation might otherwise be difficult to engineer and maintain in a contemporary academic context of differentiated disciplines and of competing institutions.
The Australia Research Network includes some of the nation's most senior and experienced scholars, between a quarter and third of whom are Academicians, and an exciting mix of next generation and early career researchers.
The electronic infrastructure is designed by the experienced team behind the creation of the Australian Public Intellectual Network (Cloran, Murphy, Nile). Additional scholarly Networks include the Sound-Design Network (Bandt), the Creative Arts Review (Murphy) and Borderlands (Burke). The following suite of research-based periodicals is included as part of this infrastructure:
