Innovative graduate training

The long-term existence of the Centre depends on significant contributions to the research, graduate training and public profile of the ANU. In addition to this program of innovative short courses, the Centre (in collaboration with the Humanities Research Centre), has developed a Graduate Program in Interdisciplinary Cross-Cultural Research. It was offered for the first time in late 2000. Together, the graduate program and the short courses we offer aim to:

draw on the expertise of the Centre and other university academic staff in anthropology, art history, art and museum curatorship, literary and cultural history, ethnographic film-making, research on visual culture and multimedia

provide the intellectual and resource infrastructure necessary to engage in critical appraisals of received and innovative scholarship in cross-cultural relations and histories

encourage students to adopt an interdisciplinary perspective in their research

provide unique opportunities for research training in the context of collaborative team research in partnership with cultural institutions and industries.
