Visiting Scholars Program 2005

The Centre for Cross-Cultural Research offers short-term, intensive research programs for MA and PhD students. The programs are normally conducted over a two or three week period and are open to graduate students at the ANU and universities throughout Australia and overseas. Several programs are held each year enabling scholars to spend time in Canberra working around a particular theme with members of the Centre staff and visiting academics. The programs may incorporate intensive colloquia, film screenings and visits to museums and other cultural institutions as appropriate to particular themes. Programs reflect the Centre’s fields of research – Visual Research Across Cultures, Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Contemporary Art and Society; Histories: Comparative, Indigenous and Colonial; and Conceptualising Cross-Cultural Research - and provide students working in cross-dicsiplinary areas to met and form ongoing research networks. In addition, while participating in the programs students have access to individual supervision and have the opportunity to conduct research in the ANU’s libraries and archives located in Canberra.
