About us

The Asian Australian Studies Research Network (AASRN) was created in 2006 as a joint project between The Australian National University and Monash University. Its initial funding was provided by a grant from the Institute for Excellence in Asia-Pacific Studies (ICEAPS).

Since 2006, the AASRN has generated a wide range of activities, including major conferences, public lectures, workshops, edited publications, online projects and more.

Primarily, the network focuses on cultural production in three major clusters:

Cultural heritage & community

The aim of this cluster is to initiate interdisciplinary exchange within and between the fields of research on Asian Australian cultural heritage and community. This broad and interdisciplinary grouping includes those working on aspects of cultural heritage, community identities and politics, and cultural history projects.

Film, literature & performance
