The real reason for being in Canberra last weekend was to attend a symposium run by ASSA (Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia) and delivered by members of the Australian Research Council Research Network on Integrated Social Science (ARCRNSISS).
That's enough of acronyms for the moment. I'm a member of that network and I and a colleague from UNE explained our ARC-funded research into change and adjustment in Australia's agricultural heartlands: down on the farm and in associated country towns. In fact, I was only on the floor about 7 minutes last Tuesday (3 November), but enough time for the network to pay my expenses for the trip. However, the entire day was relevant to my research interests and very entertaining.
Proceedings took place in the Shine Dome (!) pictured here, which is owned and operated by the Academy of the Sciences. It was a wonderful venue, whose auditorium had great acoustics and ultra-comfortable seating. And the presentation we made went down very well.
