The ANU College of Arts and Social Sciences (CASS) sets national and international standards in research, education and community engagement across the humanities, creative arts and social sciences. Our unique location in Canberra creates an enriched teaching and research environment, giving our researchers and students access to the nation’s political, cultural and collecting institutions and government departments. Our researchers shape debates and public policy through consultations, media outreach and through the research they produce. Our disciplines rank highly against other universities globally, and most achieve rankings of above or well above world standard in the Excellence in Research Australia rankings by the Australian Research Council. We encourage our staff to continue to push the boundaries of possibilities in their chosen fields.

    Gamilaraay Voices : Stories from Gamilaraay Country
    (Australian National University, 2020-12-10) Smith, Hilary; O'Shannessy, Carmel; Giacon, John; Winanga-Li Aboriginal Child and Family Centre
    The purpose of this course is to provide a background to the Gamilaraay language, through the perspectives of people living ‘on country’, i.e. on the traditional Gamilaraay lands in inland north-western New South Wales and southern Queensland in Australia. It is intended to support Gamilaraay people who are on their own journey to reclaim their language, as well as other Australians and those who would like to understand more about the background to the current use of Indigenous languages in Australia. Gamilaraay people are renewing their language, as it is no longer spoken as their everyday language. The stories in this course explore the reasons for the loss of the language, and the effect this has on Gamilaraay people, as well as their hopes and plans for the revival of the language.

    Trajectories of social and economic outcomes and problem gambling risk in Australia
    (ANU Centre for Social Research and Methods, 2018-11) Fogarty, Marisa; Taylor, Matthew; Gray, Matthew
    Researchers are increasingly recognising the importance of longitudinal data in providing valuable information on individuals to better understand gambling behaviour, trajectories, risks and consequences. However, relatively few longitudinal surveys have a significant focus on gambling. This paper makes use of a longitudinal data source that has, for the first time, included questions on gambling behaviour in Australia: the Household, Income and Labour Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) survey. The HILDA survey included gambling questions for the first time in 2015 (wave 15). Although the HILDA survey currently provides data on gambling at a single point in time, there are data on the individuals back to 2001, in most cases. This paper uses selected social, economic and health variables, and analyses their trajectories over time across the gambling risk categories measured in 2015. The paper explores economic variables (household income, employment, qualifications, financial hardship, risk and stress) and selected social variables (life satisfaction, psychological distress, alcohol intake and smoking) from multiple HILDA waves. The analysis clearly shows that problem gamblers experience significantly worse outcomes than those without gambling problems, and poor outcomes go back a number of years. In a number of cases, outcomes are becoming progressively poorer, which may suggest either increasingly risky gambling behaviour or the cumulative effects of a sustained period of problem gambling. Low- and moderate-risk gamblers have better economic, social and health outcomes than problem gamblers, but, in most cases, worse outcomes than those without gambling-related problems. Again, these differences go back a number of years. Exploring these particular variables in respect of problem gambling risk provides insights that may inform prevention and early intervention strategies to reduce gambling harm.

    Skullbook : Felis catus (cat)
    (Australian National University. School of Archaeology and Anthropology, 2018) Australian National University. School of Archaeology and Anthropology; Australian National University. Centre for Digital Humanities Research; Grant, Katrina; Samper Carro, Sofia Cristina; Frieman, Catherine; Nurmikko-Fuller, Terhi
    The Skullbook project will produce digital and 3D printed 'bone libraries' to support students' research. This project engages traditional analyses with new technologies. ANU Skullbook will produce the first digital bone library in Australia. In the course of the project, we will create anatomically accurate replicas of animal skulls, which can be used to support teaching and learning at all levels, both in class, and for independent research. These digital 3D models will be disseminated globally as an Open Access resource hosted on a dedicated webpage. They can be downloaded or printed out as 3D models to create personal reference collections. This project will improve access to teaching resources for key skills-based teaching in archaeology, and offer important hands-on training in digital humanities. The digital bone library will become a resource for students, educators, museums, and researchers in both Australia, and worldwide.

    A nuclear arms race in Northeast Asia?
    (ANU College of Asia & the Pacific, 2018) Taylor, Brendan; Envall, H. D. P.
    Speculation is rife that North Korea’s burgeoning nuclear and ballistic missile programs will spark a dangerous new Northeast Asian arms race. In May of this year, senior officials in United States President Donald Trump’s administration reportedly confided in Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop their fears that such an arms race was “inevitable” should the international community fail to rein in Pyongyang’s nuclear and missile advances. During an interview on CNN in October 2017, former US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton agreed, asserting that “we will now have an arms race–a nuclear arms race in East Asia”. Senior political figures like Minister Bishop and Secretary Clinton have encountered no shortage of strategic analysts willing to substantiate their claims. The prominent American commentator Michael Auslin, for instance, argued recently that “North Korea is ensuring a nuclear arms race”. Similarly, the late Desmond Ball pointed presciently to a predominantly naval Northeast Asian arms race–through one with clear nuclear dimensions–in a paper published just over half a decade ago.
