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.
