Alistair Kennedy
Alistair Kennedy is a former Defence Force member, who has recently transferred from King’s College, London to ANU, Canberra where he is hosted by Dr James Jupp at CIMS. He is gathering material for his PhD thesis on the differing experiences of second (and later) generations of Australian- & British-born Chinese. Alastair's particular research interests are the proliferation of role models in Australia and the lack of them in UK, and the effect this has had on attitudes to feelings of ‘belonging’ or ‘exclusion’ and interest (or shunning) of Chinese cultural heritage. He is also researching a paper on the experiences of those Australian- and British-Chinese who served in the Defence Forces in and before WW1. He holds an Honours degree in Modern History, a Masters Degree in UK Social History and a Diploma in Classical Chinese (HKU).
