Seeing the forest from the trees helps scientists predict bushfire threats from space ANU TV 2023-07-31 | Scientists at The Australian National University are revolutionising how we prepare for future cataclysmic climate events by developing new satellite technology to predict bushfire risks.Measuring the dryness of a eucalypt forest and the amount of fuel load it contains across the entire Australian continent is crucial for fire prevention.When launched, the new satellite will highlight vulnerable areas of forest, allowing for bushfire management resources to be allocated more effectively to help manage breakouts.“It never crossed my mind that when I started my engineering career, I would end up being part of a satellite mission,” says OzFuel researcher Dr Nicolas Younes Cardenas. “It’s essentially a dream come true.”Go behind the scenes and see how researchers are collecting data from eucalypt forests, to help build new satellite detection technology that is calibrated to Australia’s unique environment.This work has been supported by SmartSat CRC (Project P3-24), whose activities are funded by the Australian Government’s CRC Program.For more visit:https://science.anu.edu.au/https://inspace.anu.edu.au/activity/missions/ozfuel

Tree scarring is our signature in the land ANU TV 2023-05-31 | Paul Girrawah House rests his palm on the silver-grey bark and speaks in language. House, a Ngambri and Ngunnawal custodian with multiple local Aboriginal ancestries from the Kamberri (Canberra) region, introduces himself to the eucalyptus tree and seeks its permission to proceed with the scarring.“All the land, plants and animals are connected, not just environmentally, but spiritually,” House says. “So before we undertake our work on Country, we seek permission, we give honour to the great spirit Biami, but also honour to the tree. So you form that bond and connection.” Ancestors also cut canoes from trees to cross waterways and fish. “Trees are so important to Aboriginal culture because they sustain our life in terms of all those good nutrients and provide for our people,” House says. While cutting coolamons and canoes was the primary purpose of tree scarring, sometimes designs were also carved into the tender, newly exposed trunk. For House, it really “depends on circumstances” and his carvings are about “acknowledging ancestors”. He may return to this tree in coming days to inscribe a pattern. There are already a number of old growth scar trees on campus, which House describes as “our signature in the land”. They are evidence of Aboriginal statehood, sovereignty and ownership of this landscape he says. “Carving trees today is about the return, renewal and reclaiming of our identity here on Ngambri (Kamberri) Country, here at ANU. It is keeping culture alive and keeping our people strong.” Truth-telling is an essential part of voice and treaty House asserts. “We must remember our ancestors never ceded this Country, it was stolen without consent or treaty and we’ve never been compensated for our losses.” He commends ANU for understanding the importance of working closely with local people and creating opportunities to share stories of connection to Country. “I think it’s wonderful ANU is showing an inclusive process of acknowledgement. It’s important for Aboriginal people to reconnect and reclaim Country on our terms.” Read more here: https://reporter.anu.edu.au/all-stories/tree-scarring-is-our-signature-in-the-land
How nuclear science can help address global challenges ANU TV 2023-05-26 | In this presentation Ms Najat Mokhtar, Deputy Director General and Head of the Department of Nuclear Sciences and Applications at the International Atomic Energy Agency will talk about the role of nuclear science to help address today’s global challenges provide insight into the world of the atom and its indispensable role in our lives.Science and technology help explain and overcome many of the global challenges the world community faces, whether it is climate change, water and food insecurity, non-communicable diseases such as cancer, zoonotic outbreaks, plastic pollution, and many other pressing issues of our time. The challenge however is that science and technology, though crucial, are unequally distributed and instituted across the world, with those who need them most, having the least access.Among the sciences and technologies, nuclear science is unique in the scale and breadth of its application: scientists and engineers have unlocked the power of the atom to fight diseases, to study scarce food and water resources, to develop hardier crops and to monitor pollution in the oceans and on earth.
Eastern Quoll Monitoring at Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve ANU TV 2023-05-25 | Eastern Quolls are residents of Mulligans Flat Woodland Sanctuary, on the fringe of Throsby near the northeastern border of the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). The sanctuary has occupied this site for almost two decades. In this time it’s been an open-air lab for conservation experiments led by researchers at the ANU Fenner School for Environment and Society in partnership with the ACT Government. Thanks to these projects, visitors can spot animals that haven’t existed in their natural habitat for centuries. The annual night monitoring sessions allow researchers to stay up to date with Eastern Quolls and Bettongs.Through persistence and adaptation ANU researcher Belinda Wilson has been able to boost reintroduction survival rates to 92 per cent. "This is a really exciting result and gives us the courage to expect that eastern quolls will make a comeback to the ACT and beyond," she says.Read the story of Mulligans Flat and their neighbours here: https://reporter.anu.edu.au/strange-neighbours-the-sanctuary-on-the-edge-of-our-cityhttps://www.mulligansflat.org.au/

Meet the author - Jennifer Robinson ANU TV 2023-04-18 | Jennifer Robinson, in conversation with Kim Rubenstein on Jennifer's book, How Many More Women? Exposing how the law silences women, co-authored with Dr Keina Yoshida.How Many More Women is a masterful and urgent exploration of the legal response to the MeToo movement in Australia and around the world. We are in a crucial moment: women are breaking through the cultural reticence to speak out about gender-based violence. But as they have grown empowered to speak, a new form of silencing has become more evident: the spike in survivors speaking out has been followed by a spike in legal actions against them and the journalists seeking to report their stories. This is the new frontier of gendered censorship. What happens when the law that is meant to protect us, silences?From the conviction of a director of a domestic violence shelter in Croatia, to defamation proceedings brought against women who make accusations against their former husbands and partners, to nondisclosure agreements by powerful and wealthy men, this book explains why we need to advocate for free speech protections from an equality and human rights perspective. Who better to write a book about the human rights of women than two celebrated and brave human rights lawyers? They won't be silenced, and we should all follow their lead.'This important book demonstrates how man-made laws and legal procedures bear down harshly and unfairly on women who try to exercise their free speech rights to complain about domestic violence and abuse. At a time when reform of defective laws of defamation and confidentiality is being considered in many English-speaking countries, the injustices eloquently described by these authors deserve special attention. Theirs is a book that should be read-with shame-by judges and politicians and with appreciation by news editors, journalists, and all concerned to enhance freedom of speech.'

Diversity at the Frontier - Gender Equality in Space ANU TV 2023-04-14 | On March 25 2019, NASA announced it would launch the first all-female spacewalk of two women at the International Space Station. Yet, days after the announcement was made, the spacewalk was cancelled as there was only one space suit that would fit a woman. Months later, the historic spacewalk was completed, yet the incident highlighted the gender gap that remains in space.Given Space 2.0 is bringing unprecedented opportunities for nations, building on humanity’s first endeavours to reach space by increasing accessibility, improving technology, and rapidly growing the surrounding space industry, ensuring our progress does not outpace the development of the right kind of space sector remains a crucial challenge. Whilst we know that women’s inclusion in international affairs results in better decision-making and higher levels of collaboration and consensus and the ‘business case’ for diversity can be made on moral and strategic grounds, currently, inclusion, diversity, equality and access (IDEA) in space is not guaranteed.

Gareth Evans Oration delivered by Lord Chris Patten ANU TV 2023-03-15 | Chancellor of Oxford University and the last Governor of Hong Kong, Lord Chris Patten delivers the 2023 Gareth Evans Oration.In his address, Lord Patten points out that "my generation is fortunate to have lived in the better half of the 20th century. It has been a little like living during the decades after the Congress of Vienna in the 19th century. There has been an effective world order which has, for most of us, ensured rising prosperity and peace. By the late 1980s some claimed that liberal democracy had triumphed everywhere. This was a rather rash prediction since we now see the splintering of the post war system of international order, the rise of China with all its consequences as well as an increase in the number of authoritarian states around the globe. With American leadership how can we ensure that liberal democracies are able to create a global partnership which does not exclude China and other authoritarians but ensures the survival and success of open societies."

2023 Pamela Denoon Lecture: Marie Coleman AO PSM ANU TV 2023-03-10 | Marie Coleman has been integral to the women's movement in Australia for the past 60 years. She maintains her indignation at the gender pay gap, and has championed everything from universal access to childcare to paid maternity leave. Marie was the first woman in Australia to head a statutory authority when she chaired the Whitlam Government's Social Welfare Commission in 1973. She had a long and distinguished career in public service, being awarded a Public Service Medal in 1990, a Centenary Medal in 2011, and an AO for distinguished service to the advancement of women. She was a founding member in 1989 of the NFAW and chaired the Social Policy Committee until early 2020. The SPC plays a leadership role for women's organisations nationally in the research and analysis of the impacts of policies on woman. She is also a committee member for the Australian Woman's Archives Project. She has been inducted into the Victorian Parliament's Honour Roll of Women and the ACT Honour Roll of Women.The Pamela Denoon Lecture was inaugurated in 1989 as a tribute to the memory of Pamela Denoon and as a reminder that the gains that have been made by women over the years have only been possible because of the enormous dedication of women like Pamela. Pamela Denoon worked tirelessly to promote equality for women and was the National Coordinator of Women's Electoral Lobby from 1982-84. She actively lobbied for women's rights in Canberra during the 1980s and her bequest helped establish the National Foundation for Australian Women and the Pamela Denoon Trust.The Pamela Denoon Lecture is a regular event during International Women's Week in Canberra. The Lecture aims to inspire and motivate women to find out more about issues for women in Australia and encourage some of them to get involved in a local organisation that works to promote women's rights and other major women's issues.
Coral Bell School Inaugural Annual Lecture on Indigenous Diplomacy ANU TV 2023-03-08 | Indigenous peoples have a long history of conducting international diplomacy, from their relations with one another across the continent for tens of millennia, their engagement with peoples outside Australia, and their contributions to the current international political system.What makes Aboriginal Australian international relations unique? Why in modern Australia are such approaches and worldviews important? And what can we learn from such unique ways of knowing, being, and doing?Such questions have rarely been explored by International Relations Scholarship. In the inaugural Coral Bell School Annual Lecture on Indigenous Diplomacy, Dr Mary Graham and Associate Professor Morgan Brigg will explore these issues in a wide-ranging discussion on Aboriginal Australian political ordering and relationality in international politics.
2023 ST Lee Lecture - Can democracy deliver? Reflections on the Indonesian case ANU TV 2023-03-07 | The 2023 ST Lee Lecture is presented by Dr Anies Rasyid Baswedan, the Governor of Jakarta from 2017-2022. Dr Baswedan will discuss his views on Indonesia today, particularly on democracy and his vision for the country's future. Many observers are warning that democracy is in retreat around the globe. One reason for this trend is that non-democratic models of development are attracting a growing number of adherents. From the perspective of these adherents, complex democratic processes hinder the implementation of policies and ultimately result in a failure to deliver benefits to the people. In contrast, so the argument goes, less democratic forms of governance, with fewer political constraints, can facilitate a faster and more effective policymaking process, and thus be more successful in bringing benefits to the people. Both historically and in contemporary times, this kind of narrative has enjoyed political support in our region, and in Indonesia too.In this lecture, Dr Baswedan challenges the notion that less democratic government is better at achieving developmental success, and explains why he believes that democracy can deliver. Drawing on his experience in public policy, particularly as the Governor of Jakarta, Dr Baswedan will share his perspective on how democracy can effectively function to deliver progress and development for the people.

2022 ANU School of Art & Design Graduating Exhibition ANU TV 2022-11-25 | 2022 ANU School of Art & Design Graduating Exhibition Bachelor of Visual Arts 2022 GRAD SHOW 2022 presents our 3rd year students together as one cohort. In the capstone BVA course, the cohort collectively identified themes pertinent to their own concerns in the wider context of contemporary art practice. Four broad thematic groups were established, and it was mainly in these groups that students continued to develop their independent projects. Through this course structure, exciting cross-disciplinary and transdisciplinary conversations arose. For instance, Process, Form, Material, enabled certain image-makers to find common ground in their approach, be it using a mouse or paintbrush. In the thematic Care, Collaboration, Comfort students innovated their own collaborative methodologies, by bringing their discipline specific skills to socially- engaged art practice. The Body: Limits, Potential, Politics group considered how cultural and physical space can be occupied by marginalised bodies. And, in Memory, Place, Narrative questions of identity were explored through the ownership, agency and responsibility of cultural and familial narratives. These are just some examples of the rich exchange of ideas, skills and ambition. Perhaps the most poignant for us as lecturers has been the repeated sense of celebration and an assertion of what it is to be alive: in connection, exclusion, action, stillness, hope, anger and creative ingenuity. Hopefully, you will make other connections between works and notice shared sensibilities of our emerging artists.April Widdup You lived, and I will remember thatJackson Taylor Three BravesGabriela Renee Balik Kampung, Going Home…Tash Barber Mapping Before Erasure: The Outback CameleersMusic: Art Electronica, Blackout Memories
