RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM OFFERED BY THE AUSTRALIAN PRIME MINISTERS CENTRE (APMC),
2009–10
The Australian Prime Ministers Centre aims to provide a national focus for research and scholarship in the field of Australian prime ministerial history. Based at Old Parliament House in Canberra, the Centre combines a research centre with an exhibition showcasing over a century of political leadership. The Centre also works collaboratively with relevant cultural institutions to support and improve access to prime ministers’ personal and official records.
The Australian Prime Ministers Centre research and scholarship program offers research assistance to established scholars in the form of Fellowships, as well as Summer Scholarships for those in the early stages of their research careers. Fellows are encouraged to submit proposals for research projects that result in the production of an academic paper, bibliography or creative project, while Summer Scholars generally work on a project set by Old Parliament House. A number of scholarships and Fellowships are offered each year.
The closing deadline for applications for the 2009–10 Fellowship program is 31 July 2009. Applications for the Summer Scholarship program close on 2 October 2009. Application forms and more detailed information on the Research and Scholarship Program is available on our website at http://www.apmc.oph.gov.au/research_scholarship.html.

10–11 November 2009
Call For papers:
Proposals for panels and papers are invited on the theme of Indigenous participation in Australian economies, from the perspectives of anthropology, history or material
|
culture studies, or some combination of these perspectives. A linking theme will be the development of local 'hybrid economies' involving the articulation of Indigenous and settler social and economic forms, and the emergence of new complexes of transactions and relations. We hope to cover a broad variety of economies from whaling to CDEP, across the span of more than two centuries. Papers which consider the characteristics of the material culture of local economies, from saddles to art, and material evidence of Indigenous participation, such as photographs, will be welcome.
Panels so far proposed include:
- The transformation of relations and transactions within and around missions and stations.
- The role of sexuality in the intercultural economy in Australia.
- Transactions between fringe camps and towns.
- The period of transition from low wage/ no wage to CDEP.
- Stolen wages and the contemporary efforts to secure recompense
Please send abstracts of papers addressing one or more of the conference themes (these need not be attached to a panel at this stage, but will be assigned to panels later), and/or proposals for panels
