Research Interests

I am particularly interested in the history and development of the Chinese community in Tasmania, from early on when the first Chinese came as skilled migrants as carpenters, then tin miners, then gardeners until the present. I have published extensively on the Chinese Cultural Revolution, Chinese rural studies, Chinese grammar and Chinese students in Australia.

Artist, Postgraduate Student, School of Arts. & Interpretation Officer (Aboriginal Culture) Parks & Wildlife Service, Hobart

Research Interests

I am currently completing my PhD, entitled "Transforming Histories: The Visual Disclosure of Contentious Pasts", which investigates new ways to apprehend and visually reconfigure aspects of concealed or disputed pasts. The intention of this body of work is to enable a viewer to experience obscured or nearly forgotten narratives - narratives of memory, time, absence, location and representation. The works utilise found and constructed objects and techniques from the visual arts, the museum, the library, the shop, the garden. See also an online feature by Julie Gough: Artworks and Stories.
