75 years since the end of World War II: commemoration and historical understanding
Three quarters of a century have passed since the end of the most catastrophic military conflagration in human history: World War II. Paradoxically, however, the more that time passes the more we seem to remember it, in official and popular culture: commemorations, memorials, movies and books, above all in Post-Soviet Russia. Amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, commemorations of the 75th anniversaries of the German and Japanese surrenders in May and August 1945 respectively by the victorious former Western Allies were subdued affairs. In Washington, President Trump laid a wreath; in Paris, President Macron spoke in front of a near-deserted Arch de Triumphe; in locked-down London, Queen Elizabeth gave a televised address. In Moscow and Minsk, nevertheless, Presidents Putin and Lukashenko oversaw massive military parades celebrating victory in the “Great Patriotic War”.
Such official commemorations usually celebrate the virtues of nation, state and people that seemingly made victory possi…

New Caledonia – towards a new Pacific nation?
On 4 October, New Caledonians will vote in a referendum on their political future. Long term residents of the French Pacific dependency – one of Australia’s closest neighbours – will vote yes or no on independence from France. Most indigenous Kanak support the call for independence and sovereignty, but must gain support from non-Kanak communities who want to retain ties to the French Republic.
A previous referendum in 2018 saw 43 per cent support for independence, and since then, debate has polarised over New Caledonia’s future political status. But the 2020 referendum comes at a time of significant economic and social challenge, during the global pandemic. New Caledonia faces changing demand for nickel exports, the loss of international tourism and a rising cost of living for the vulnerable.
Hear from leading political and community leaders, to discuss the referendum and future prospects for this Pacific nation. Facilitated by journalist Nic Maclellan, the discussion will be…

Honouring the words of the late Dr Teresia Teaiwa it is important ‘to remind people of the complexity (of the Pacific) and not let them try to paint us with a single brush stroke'.
Join a panel of Pacific youth who share their perspectives and experiences on the pressing issues faced by the nations of the Pacific region, such as independence, climate change, and cultural retention. Chaired by Andrew Fa’avale from MANA Pasifika, this conversation highlights the valuable resource that the youth voice represents for the future. With over 1,200 recorded indigenous languages and 20,000 different islands and atolls, the complexity of the Pacific must be acknowledged and celebrated.

Asia Stories |’Re-enchanting’ Cambodia with Dr Catherine Grant
Sociologist John Clammer proposes that it’s through the creative and performing arts that the ‘re-enchantment of the world’ might take place. In Cambodia, the traditional performing arts are ‘re-enchanting’ the country in powerful and sometimes unexpected ways, disrupting old stories and creating new visions of a better Cambodia.
Our host, Professor Renee Jeffery speaks with music researcher Dr Catherine Grant, Queensland Conservatorium Research Centre about some of the exceptional roles the creative arts are playing in contemporary Cambodia, including redressing past wrongs, upholding democratic principles, advancing peace and justice, and speaking truth to power.
Catherine has been conducting collaborative research in Cambodia since 2013 and completed a 6-month Australia Endeavour Fellowship there in 2015; she is currently leading a British Museum-funded project documenting the makers and players of the critically endangered traditional musical instrument Angkuoch.

Many of us seek to make a difference in our world. But how can you? There are many opportunities in the Asia-Pacific region to volunteer and engage in development work.

Host, Professor Renee Jeffery talks to Professor Dian Tjondronegoro, Deputy Head of Department, Department of Business Strategy and Innovation and Griffith Asia Institute about the Next AI Super Power and why it its important for Australia’s future.
Dian’s Griffith Asia Institute Regional Outlook article looks at how Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a key battleground of supremacy between the US and China. Given AI’s capability to rapidly analyse huge amounts of data for gaining insights and knowledge, there is increasing concerns over privacy and security of data collected from the use of technology, namely, smart phones and the ‘Internet of Things’ (IoT) (aka everything connected). However, there is very little understanding of what could be the long term consequences from the emergence of AI, particularly from the perspective of Australia’s global outlook and regional positioning within Asia Pacific.

Perspectives:Asia | Role of press freedom as a pillar for democracy
Global press freedom is at one of its lowest points with restrictions placed on the media on the rise in a number of countries. The recent politically motivated charge and ‘cyber libel’ conviction of Maria Ressa, CEO of Rappler and Reynaldo Santos Jr. former Rappler reporter by a Philippines court is a case in point. Such conditions used to the be the scope of authoritarian regimes, however recent developments show that the practice is spreading to both new and established democracies. These worrying trends need to be taken seriously as threats to media freedom risk undermining not only faith in journalism and the media but also eroding the pillars of democracy and the trust that people place in it.

2020 Perspectives Asia Webinar with Professor David Walker and Professor Jing Han
Australia’s population has been characterised by constant change for many decades, yet anxiety over a rising Asia and racism are continued factors. This has been made even more evident recently with the escalation in racial abuse towards Australians of Asian heritage due to COVID-19.
Professor David Walker, Deakin University and Professor Jing Han, Western Sydney University look at how our past still fuels anxiety and racism today.
Professor David Walker draws on his latest book Stranded Nation: White Australia in an Asian Region which looks at Australia from 1920 – 1970 and addresses how Australia sought to convince both itself and its neighbours that it belonged within the Asian region. While Professor Jing Han shares her thoughts on modern Australia’s anxiety and how her translation work on the unexpected hit ‘If You Are the One’ has led to an unprecedented cultural impact and influence on Australian audiences in understanding the ordinary lives of Chinese people.

The Humble Cosmopolitan with Luis Cabrera
Host, Professor Renee Jeffery chats with Griffith University's Associate Professor Luis Cabrera about his latest book The humble Cosmopolitan and what led him on the path to studying Asia.
The book draws on extensive field research in India to address some longstanding critiques of universal human rights and global or ‘cosmopolitan’ citizenship. Critics of cosmopolitanism often assert that it is arrogant, giving too little attention to local ties and non-universalist moral views. Cabrera argues that an appropriate response involves not a retreat from broader principles but support for regional and global political institutions more clearly oriented to political humility, where individuals could give input and lodge challenges as formal citizen equals. He draws on the work of Indian constitutional architect and social campaigner B.R. Ambedkar, who championed forms of domestic political humility against the segregation and “arrogance” of caste. He also take insights from Dalit (…

Pacific Islands bushfire assistance - Tess Newton Cain
The Pacific Island nations are stepping up to offer assistance to Australia in the midst of the bushfire crisis. Vanuatu has offered almost a quarter of a million dollars to the Rural Fire Service, while an appeal fund has been set up in Papua New Guinea, with the government there also offering to send a thousand military personnel and fire fighters. Private enterprise in Vanuatu, PNG, and also Fiji, are getting involved in fundraising too, even though in Fiji's case they are already dealing with the aftermath of Cyclone Sarai that hit parts of the country just last week. And indeed at this time of the year, in the midst of cyclone season, it is often the disaster prone island countries with small economies that turn to Australia for help. However this time the roles have been reversed, and Pacific analyst, Tess Newton Cain, from the Griffith Asia Institute, says that's despite relations between Australia and the islands being rather frosty in recent times, and particularly over climat…
