Not drowning, fighting?: UN climate governance and Pacific Island countries. This project aims to significantly advance understandings of UN climate governance processes, and the spaces and strategies utilised by Pacific Island countries to influence the final decision outcomes. This project will generate important new knowledge about global climate governance using an innovative approach to collaborative event ethnography that involves a majority Pacific Islander research team and working ‘internal’ to formal UN climate negotiations. The project should identify key climate change outcomes for the Pacific and Australia that will help address climate security issues, and that raise the status of Pacific Indigenous knowledge systems by incorporating them centrally within understandings of climate change policy. Field of research: 4401 - Anthropology For many Pacific Island countries the impacts of climate change are urgent and real. A key foreign policy goal for Australia is a strong and united Pacific family that understands the regional challenges of climate security, but to what degree are Pacific Island countries influencing outcomes of the United Nations (UN) climate governance meetings? This project will deliver new understandings of how Pacific Island nations create knowledge, negotiate and influence the decision making of the UN over key climate issues. Through participant observation and interviews with representatives from Pacific Island governments and civil society, project findings will identify the way decisions about climate are made that impact the Pacific, and how critical climate change issues for the Pacific and Australia can be addressed. This knowledge can be used to strengthen climate-based policies in Australia and the Pacific, thereby strengthening the Pacific family. Outcomes will be accessible to policymakers and the public in Australia and the Pacific through regional workshops, podcasts and articles written for free media.

Audiobooks and digital book culture . This project aims to investigate digital technology's impact on book culture through a study of Australian audiobooks. It expects to generate new knowledge about Australian books' relationship to global culture and technology. Expected outcomes include new research infrastructure in the form of a comprehensive database of Australian audio publications and advances in the way publishers and cultural institutions consider the role and value of audiobooks. This should lead to significant benefits, including providing publishers with access to reader survey and industry publication data that will help to increase community access to audiobooks. Field of research: 4705 - Literary Studies Audiobooks are an important new cultural phenomenon. They are the decade’s biggest publishing growth sector and bridge a divide between books and digital culture. However, at a time of globalisation and digital and cultural disruption, we know little about Australian audiobooks, and their role in our literary landscape. Working in collaboration with key industry stakeholders including publishers, librarians and advocacy group Vision Australia, this research will examine the impact of audiobooks on the publishing sector, and reading practices of the wider community. Through a widely accessible public database, a series of public lectures, and a book, both publishers and the broader community will gain new understandings of Australian literature and our nationwide reading habits, helping to inform and guide future investment in audiobooks, improve literacy and ensure the ongoing accessibility of literature to all Australians.

Demographic and life course drivers of social cohesion. The project aims to understand the individual and community-level drivers and pressures on social cohesion in Australia. It is expected to generate new knowledge on how and why individuals become more or less engaged in their communities and society over time by combining information from multiple existing data sources. Expected outcomes of the project include the creation of analytical tools for measuring the dynamics of social cohesion, helping to bridge the gap between current theories and data. This should provide significant benefits in identifying threats and opportunities, and informing community and government initiatives, to strengthen and maintain social cohesion and the collective well-being of communities and Australia. Field of research: 4403 - Demography In Australia, social cohesion is under considerable strain: rates of volunteerism are in decline and there is a reduced sense of collective identity and pride as a country. This poses risks to the harmony and co-operation of society. While policymakers and researchers can track these trends, the reasons for these shifts in cohesion are unclear, and therefore difficult to rectify. By adapting and developing new demographic techniques, this project will identify the driving factors that both support and weaken our connections to each other, our communities and the nation. It will translate and communicate those findings through targeted reports and a novel interactive ‘cohesion health’ tracker website. These outputs will help map social cohesion across Australia and guide the development of policy and practice responses. Sharing these tools with government and community sector partners will empower them to track changes in community cohesion and identify and prevent threats to it. In doing so, this research will contribute to stronger social cohesion in communities across Australia.

Beyond Big Brother: New Narratives for Understanding Surveillance. This project aims to investigate how recent forms of narrative fiction reflect and shape understandings of digital surveillance. It expects to generate new knowledge about the personal and social implications of digital surveillance across different cultural, technological and geographical contexts. Expected outcomes include a significant interdisciplinary methodology that integrates surveillance studies, digital humanities, and literary studies to improve our understanding of surveillance. The project also aims to generate teaching and public engagement resources for research, industry, and government. This will substantially improve our understanding of the impact of digital surveillance at the individual, community, and national levels. Field of research: 4705 - Literary Studies How people experience and think about surveillance is a key question for the digital age. We are now monitored and watched everywhere we go, and personal data is being used in unprecedented ways. This project investigates recent changes in the nature and extent of surveillance and how Australian citizens feel about this. It examines these changes through narrative sources and online reviews, exploring how stories about surveillance circulate and are interpreted. This will help us better understand contemporary Australian responses to surveillance, including the influences on these ideas. The project will create a comprehensive new account of surveillance history and culture, for use by students, researchers, local communities, and government. It will make its findings available via workshops, exhibitions, and a digital archive of stories about how people from diverse geographical and cultural contexts experience surveillance. This will engage wide-ranging audiences across Australia and help us meet future social challenges arising from emerging forms of surveillance.

Automated Modelling Assistance for the Creation of Complex Planning Models. Artificial Intelligence (AI) planning technology is used to control systems like automated factories, robots, or to solve complex optimisation problems. Creating these models is however rather complex and error-prone and requires experts to create them in the first place. This project aims at developing techniques and tools for automated modelling support. They will make the modelling process easier and guarantee desired model properties such as the desired system behaviour. The tools will thus contribute towards making the technology more easily accessible to companies that might want to deploy them, while reducing costs for doing so and increasing the quality of these models. Field of research: 4602 - Artificial Intelligence The future of manufacturing and even just storing goods in warehouses is automation. What large companies like Amazon or Tesla have perfected already is still beyond the reach of many mid- and even large-sized companies due to the lack of accessibility of the necessary underlying technology from the field of Artificial Intelligence. This project aims at making such automation available to even small-sized businesses by drastically reducing the need for highly specialized experts in creating the models (and maintaining them) required to control the automated parts of a process or factory. This will be achieved by developing publicly available software and online services that provide intelligent feedback to experts from the specific companies in putting together (and maintaining) these models. That is, rather than requiring experts from the academic sector, employees from companies with expert knowledge about their applications will be enabled to create the required models by themselves using the project's developed technology -- intelligent automated modelling support.
