Project Name
ARC DP 'Intimacy and Violence in Anglo Pacific Rim Colonial Societies, 1830-1930'
Project Description
Violence and intimacy were both fundamental to the formation of settler-colonial societies, yet we know surprisingly little of how they were connected. Through a large-scale collaboration of leading scholars, this project aims to produce the first transnational analysis of intimacy and violence as key, intertwined vectors in the development of settler societies across the colonial Anglophone Pacific Rim.
Drawing out connections between the broad-scale dynamics of colonial rule and the violent and intimate domains of its implementation on the ground, the project aims to generate new comparative insights into the development of colonial settler cultures and create an enhanced understanding of their legacies for western settler democracies today.
SCHOLARSHIP DETAILS
The candidate will be supported with a stipend to the value of $25,849 per annum in 2015 (tax-free and indexed annually) for a period of 3 years, with the possibility of a 6-month extension.
ELIGIBILITY
