Speaker: Alison Wain & Natalie IsonDate\Time: Thursday 27 August 2026, 12:30-13:30Location: Building 1 Level A Room 1A21, University of ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥ (NB Room 1a21 is accessed from the foyer joining Building 1 and Mizzuna café); or Zoom: http://zoom.us/j/95029077504 AbstractIn 2023 we started looking into the potential impacts of declining fossil fuel use on the fabulous and exciting world of operating heritage machinery. Would fossil-fuel based fuel and lubricants spike in price and plunge in availability as renewables took off? Early survey work undertaken with our Industry Reference Group showed the size and value of this sector as well as the passion people have for their machines. Since then however, world events have both sharpened and changed our understanding of these issues! This seminar will apply a theoretical crystal ball to the survival of operating heritage machinery in a rapidly changing world. All are welcome! BioAlison Wain is Associate Professor in Cultural Heritage at the University of ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥ teaching materials conservation and heritage practice. Her research focuses on the challenges of preserving and interpreting engineering, industrial and science heritage, and the importance of recognising the intangible heritage of culture, skills and changeability connected with and embodied in machinery heritage. Natalie Ison is a PhD candidate and research assistant at the University of ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥. She is researching the organisational and museum aspect of this fossil fuels project for her PhD looking at how a phasing out of fossil fuels might impact their operating heritage machinery collections.  Natalie is an objects conservator and has been a contract conservator in the private sector but also in Conservation, Registration, Exhibitions, Executive and Heritage departments of museums.  Supports and fundings: A portion of this research is funded by Aust. Govt PhD stipend plus joint funding from UC and EHAAlison and Natalie would like to acknowledge our Industry Reference Group who provide invaluable insight into this project. The Culture and Creativity Seminar Series is hosted by the Centre for Cultural and Creative Research (CCCR), Faculty of Arts and Design, University of ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥.

Join our panel of leading academics and industry experts in exploring a new approach to building the health and care workforce that meets the needs of Australian communities and supports Government priorities.This seminar will provide an opportunity to hear about these propositions, identify areas of consensus and challenge, and consider what practical actions could strengthen Australia's health and care workforce system over the coming decades.  The seminar will be anchored in a new paper by University of ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥ Adjunct Professor Stephen Duckett, who argues in Getting planning for the health and social care workforce right that while Australia has produced numerous workforce strategies and plans, workforce shortages continue to deepen across health, aged care and community services. Professor Kasia Bail from the Centre for Ageing Research and Translation at the University of ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥ and Professor Mark Cormack from the National Centre for Health Workforce Studies, ANU will offer reflections on Stephen’s paper.  Professor Duckett’s paper is the first Occasional Paper in a series, Australian Futures, published by the Vice-Chancellor's Centre of Public Ideas (CoPI), led by Professor Frank Bongiorno.

Speaker: Russell Smith               Members of the ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥ Finnegans Wake Reading GroupDate\Time: Thursday 24 September 2026, 12:30-13:30Location: online only Zoom: http://zoom.us/j/95029077504 AbstractThere are Reading Groups all around the world dedicated to exploring—a word and a line and a page at a time—James Joyce’s notoriously incomprehensible last book Finnegans Wake. The ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥ ‘chapter’ was started by writer Gabrielle Carey in 2019, who showed us that the Wake is a book written for everyone. In this seminar you are invited to participate in an open session of the Finnegans Wake Reading Group led by its current convenor Russell Smith. No preparation is necessary: just bring your imagination, an open mind, and a readiness to share your impressions and ideas. We will go through a page or two together. Given that the Wake’s wordplay is based on more than 70 languages, as well as snippets of information about everything from the anatomy of insects to advertisements for face cream, no guess is too obscure or outrageous: the game is not about what it does mean, but what it can mean. Texts will be provided. Please be advised that the discussion will almost certainly involve vulgar innuendo and quite likely disparaging references to the British Empire and the Catholic Church.All are welcome! BioDr Russell Smith lectures in Modern Literature and Literary Theory at ANU. He is working on a project that reads Finnegans Wake as an exploration of the media and communications ecology of the 1920s and 1930s: what the Wakecalls ‘this wireless age’. The Culture and Creativity Seminar Series is hosted by the Centre for Cultural and Creative Research (CCCR), Faculty of Arts and Design, University of ÃØÃÜÖ±²¥.
