1. Deakin University Lecture and Roundtable, Monday 5 May
The Alfred Deakin Research Institute & the Cultural Heritage Centre for Asia and the Pacific invite you to a Public Lecture and Roundtable:
“The 10,000-Mile-Long Mirror”
At this public lecture, Dr Richard Rabinowitz, President of American History Workshop, will reflect on the experience of exploring Australia’s museum culture, a process he has found most useful in making him aware of the distinctiveness of his own approach and that of his compatriots in the US. In this paper, he will ruminate on the differences between American and Australian museum cultures, focusing in particular on differences in national attitudes and practices in public history, pedagogy, institutional politics and financing. Key themes he will be addressing include:
WHAT, PRECISELY, IS THE SUBJECT OF HISTORY? — realizing the power of museums to engage visitors as kinesthetic (embodied) and socially enmeshed learners
EXPERIENCE VS. INFORMATION — themes vs. stories; showing off what WE know
IS THERE AN AUSTRALIAN CUISINE? — the radical disengagement in the US from national narratives, and the contrast with Australia
THE REAL STUFF [collection objects, sites] AND THE “OTHER” STUFF — the interpretive toolbox as an equal focal-point of visitor attentiveness
Please join the Cultural Heritage Centre for Asia and the Pacific and the Alfred Deakin Research Institute for what should be a stimulating and informative discussion with contributions from local practitioners as well.
When: Monday 5 May 2014, 5.30pm – 7.00pm
Where: Deakin University Melbourne City Centre, Level 3, 550 Burke Street
Please RSVP to Professor Andrea Witcomb via email.
Numbers are limited!

2. Sydney Ideas – “The Right to World Heritage?”, Wednesday 7 May
Sydney Ideas – The Right to World Heritage?
Presented by Professor Lynn Meskell, Director of Stanford Archaeology Center, Stanford University
Co-presented with the School of Philosophical and Historical Inquiry (SOPHI) and the School of Letters, Art and Media, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences
The year 2012 marked the 40th anniversary of UNESCO’s 1972 Convention Concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Natural Heritage. It remains the only international instrument for safeguarding the world’s heritage. This presentation takes UNESCO as its centerpiece and asks how are emergent rights to the past being presented, promoted and prevented by particular actors internationally? One of UNESCO’s millennium challenges was the very issue of sovereignty in an increasingly transnational world and in the face of indigenous claims and rights that often conflict with nation states. While UNESCO was forged on the liberal principles of diplomacy, tolerance and development after the devastation of WWII, today statist agendas have come to eclipse substantive consideration of both global heritage and local communities.
Professor Meskell’s Lecture launches the new Master of Museum and Heritage Studies Program and we welcome people to join us for refreshments afterwards.
When: Wednesday 7 May, 6.00pm – 7.30pm
Where: Law School Foyer, Level 2, Sydney Law School, Eastern Avenue, The University of Sydney

3. Tasmanian Heritage event at Port Arthur Historic Site, Sunday 4 May
The Port Arthur Historic Site will be holding a day of activities this Sunday, May 4 to celebrate its botanic heritage as part of the 2014 Tasmanian Heritage festival that runs throughout May and is themed around the concept of ‘Journeys’.
Artists from the Botanica group will exhibit their works in progress at the Asylum Hall throughout May. The group comprises students of Lauren Black, a leading figure in botanical art in Australia. There is an opportunity to meet some of the artists at the Asylum Hall on Sunday between 11.00am and 3.00pm and share their research about the plants and trees at Port Arthur, which are the inspiration behind their current art project.
Sunday will also witness the launch of a new partnership between the Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority and the Free Settlers Historic Plant Nursery. Grant Horne and his wife Rowena Howard from the Free Settlers Historical Plant Nursery aim to collect living tissue from historic trees and plants to help conserve the original genetic stock of the first plants brought to Australia as part of Australia’s history.
Rare heritage garden plants from Port Arthur, some dating back to the 1830s, are being brought back from the brink of extinction, propagated and made available to Tasmanian gardeners to ensure their survival for future generations. Grant will be at Port Arthur on 4 May from 11 am to 3 pm in the Trentham Orchard to share his expertise as a professional grafter and nurseryman, and his extensive knowledge of caring for and propagating heritage plants. Orders for rare heritage fruit tree varieties can be made on this day for delivery in the spring.
There will be the opportunity to join a tour of the gardens and grounds of the Port Arthur Historic Site between 12.00-1.30pm to learn about the significant trees and plants, and the stories behind them. Afternoon tea in the Asylum Coffee Shop using produce from the gardens will also be available.

4. National Trust Heritage Festival – JOURNEYS – 18 April to 18 May
The National Trust of Australia (Victoria) invites you to join us for a month-long festival celebrating journeys of all kinds. As part of a nation-wide festival there will be over 220 events across Victoria between 18 April and 18 May. You can find out more about events happening in your area at our new festival website. Whether your passion is art, architecture, gardens or industrial heritage, the festival will open up fascinating heritage places not usually open to the public. Here are a few journeys that ICOMOS members might enjoy.
Thursday 8 May 2014 and Saturday 17 May, 10.30am–12.30pm
Join experts Bronwyn Hughes, Ken Scarlett and Jane Eckett from the Public Art Committee of the National Trust on an informative walk up Collins Street – from Swanston to Spring Street – a precinct filled with monuments, sculptures, mosaics, stained glass windows and murals. Some, like Burke & Wills may be very familiar sights on the street while others are little known, hidden from view but all have remarkable stories to tell – snapshots of Melbourne’s wider heritage and history. Each participant will be provided with notes on Collins Street’s art works and a restorative coffee at the conclusion of the tour.
Cost: Adults $25; National Trust Members $20; bookings here
Monday 12 May 2014, 10.30am-4.45pm
We all pay for and benefit from Melbourne’s water infrastructure and sewerage treatment facilities, but few of us ever find out what happens behind the scenes. Hosted by staff from Museum Victoria and Melbourne Water, this is a rare opportunity to follow the path of Melbourne’s historic sewerage system from Spotswood Pumping Station, past the brick aqueducts, through the Western Treatment Plant and into Port Phillip Bay. Classified by the Trust and built with the grandeur of nineteenth century French architecture, the Spotswood Pumping Station is an architectural and engineering marvel.
Cost: Adults $40; National Trust Members $20; bookings here

Inaugural AAS-in-Asia Conference
ASIA IN MOTION – HERITAGE AND TRANSFORMATION
NUS UTown, National University of Singapore
17-19 JULY 2014
Deadline for early-bird registration is 1 May 2014
The Asia Research Institute (ARI) and the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) of the National University of Singapore, in conjunction with the Association for Asian Studies (AAS), are pleased to present the inaugural AAS-in-ASIA Conference, “Asia in Motion: Heritage and Transformation,” to be held on 17-19 July 2014 in Singapore. This broad theme has attracted panel and roundtable proposals not only from humanists and social scientists but also from law, policy, civil society, journalism, and other professional fields.
This event inaugurates a series of such meetings to be held regularly at different locations in Asia. In creating a smaller version of its annual North American conference, the AAS seeks panels with a mix of scholars and reflective practitioners from Asia, the USA and other parts of the world.
The Association hopes to spark off new and fruitful areas of collaboration by bringing together Asian specialists based outside of Asia and Asian-based scholars as well as practitioners whose routine expertise is not foregrounded as “Asian”.
As a global hub linking many different parts of the world to Asia, Singapore is ideally placed to launch this enterprise. You will encounter astonishing diversity at every turn in this cosmopolitan city. We welcome you to enjoy it at all levels, from the intellectual to the technological to the culinary.

10. “Capability Brown: perception and response in a global context”, England, September 2016 – call for papers
“Capability Brown: perception and response in a global context”
University of Bath, England
9–11 September 2016
Deadline for abstracts: 31 August 2014
Download the full call for papers by clicking here
An ICOMOS-UK International Conference in collaboration with the University of Bath, in association with the Garden History Society and the National Trust, and supported by the ICOMOS International Scientific Committee on Cultural Landscapes.
The landscape designer Lancelot ‘Capability’ Brown (1716-1783) changed the face of 18th-century England. Yet Brown left no written explanation of his work. Much must be inferred from his surviving landscapes and by seeing his work in the wider context of the naturalistic style that developed in Europe and in countries influenced by Europe. In 2016 the tercentenary of his birth is being celebrated as an opportunity to reflect on his life, work, style and significance.
This international conference, organised by the ICOMOS-UK Cultural Landscapes and Historic Gardens Committee in collaboration with the University of Bath, will be one of the major events in the Capability Brown Tercentenary year. Internationally renowned researchers and practitioners will present Brown’s work in a global context and explore the ways in which it has been interpreted over the last 250 years.
With partners including the Garden History Society and the National Trust, this conference will be one of the highlights of the first-ever Capability Brown Birthday and Festival, bringing together in a national campaign a huge range of events, openings, exhibitions and publications.
For further information email ICOMOS-UK.

17. Cultural Heritage Centre for Asia and the Pacific (CHCAP) seminar, Melbourne
The next CHCAP seminar at Deakin University will be a presentation by Prof Kate Darian-Smith, University of Melbourne on “Childhood, Commemoration and Cultural Heritage”.
Abstract
This paper examines how the histories and cultural heritage of children in Australia have been publicly commemorated, and how this has altered over time. Examples range from the memorialization of the lives and deaths of white children in the colonial period to the politicized and contested public commemorations of Indigenous children removed from their families, and the recent memorials and exhibitions acknowledging children who were institutionalized or sent to Australia as child migrants. Issues raised through these case studies include the concepts of children’s rights, Indigenous rights and human rights more generally — and the connections between human rights discourse, cultural heritage and the past.
Biography
Kate Darian-Smith is Professor of Australian Studies and History, School of Historical and Philosophical Studies, and Professor of Cultural Studies, Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning. She has published widely on many aspects of Australian history, including on memory studies and the histories of childhood and children’s play, and is co-editor (with Carla Pascoe) of Children, Childhood and Cultural Heritage (Routledge, 2013).
Date: Wednesday 28 May 2014
Time: 5.30pm
Venue: Meeting Room 3, Deakin Prime, City Campus, 3/550 Bourke Street, Melbourne
DINNER: The seminar will be followed by dinner around 7pm at Bar Humbug. Please RSVP to Yamini Narayanan by email for dinner booking.

19. “Flood Protection for Historic Sites” conference, Germany, June 2014
International conference: “Flood Protection for Historic Sites”
Dresden, Germany
13-14 June 2014
An international colloquium on “Flood Protection for Historic Sites: Integrating Heritage Conservation and Flood Control Concepts” will take place on 13-14 June 2014 at the Technical University in Dresden, under the patronage of the Saxon Minister of the Interior and in association with the German National Committee of ICOMOS.
Increasingly frequent disasters involving high water have led to efforts in many parts of the world to enhance flood protection. Although the extensive structural measures that are often undertaken also protect historic sites, at times these very measures can impair a site’s special values. Not enough attention has been given in the past to such adverse effects. This interdisciplinary colloquium will discuss relevant experiences from various contexts and professional perspectives.
Further information can be found in the Flood Protection for Historic Sites flier and at the conference website.
