SCIENCE ANNUAL REPORT 2004
CENTRE FOR IMMIGRATION AND
MULTICULTURAL STUDIES
The Centre continued to be a resource for visiting scholars,
students and the media through its extensive holdings of information and
publications. The Centre's website gives access to almost sixty national
and international links. Visitors included an official delegation from
the Malaysian Department of National Unity and Integration, as well as
from interstate and overseas. Many interviews were given for national
and international radio and television, particularly on Australian policy
towards asylum seekers and refugees.
Dr Jupp was an invited speaker
at the first national conference of Vietnamese women in Brisbane in
February; at a conference on immigrant settlement in the St George region
of Sydney in April; at a conference of the Community Relations Commission
of New South Wales in May; and at a conference at University of Technology
Sydney in July. He also gave a seminar at the Australian Studies Centre,
University of London, in June; at the Australian Studies conference in Cardiff
in September; and at the Monash Centre in Prato, Italy, in September. He
participated in the International Democratic Audit workshop in London in
June; in the annual Elections, Politics and Parties conference in Oxford
in September; and the Metropolis conference in Geneva in October.
The Centre took an active part
in the ARC-funded graduate winter school at the ANU in July and a workshop
on the Longitudinal Study of Immigrants in August.
Dr Jupp completed work on The
English in Australia, published by Cambridge University Press early
in May. He continued to act as an external examiner at several universities
and as a manuscript reader for Cambridge University Press and Oxford University
Press. He became a Member of the Order of Australia on Australia Day, 2004,
for services to multiculturalism and immigration studies.
In November 2005 Dr Jupp was awarded
an ARC Discovery Grant of $150 000 for the next three years to research the
social roles of religion in Australia. This project will bring together
a wide range of scholars and eventually result in a major publication based
on their research and the results of the 2006 Census.
