AWARD NEWS - Gilbert Caluya awarded DECRA [17.11.2011]
The AASRN was extremely pleased to hear about GILBERT CALUYA (Uni of South Australia) and his success in the first ARC Discovery DECRA round, announced 14 November 2011.
This DECRA round was very competitive, with 2500+ applications inter/nationally and approximately 200 awards made.
Gilbert’s project:
TITLE: Burqas, borders and babies: intimate citizenship in postcolonial Australia
Project Summary: Anti-Muslim sentiment across the globe is increasingly expressed on the grounds that Muslims are misogynistic, raising questions about Muslims' intimate relations. This project will investigate the ways that Muslim intimacy has become a site of political contestation in Australia with implications for migrant security and border security.
Congratulations, Gilbert! We know you’ll achieve great things over the next three DECRA years.
