Current Research:

Throughout my research career I have been interested in how women write their experiences, and how they are written about. Since coming to Tasmania, my attention has turned to the convict women transported to Van Diemen's Land. My "pure basic" research is grounded in the archival records of these largely working-class women who were unlikely or unable to write about themselves, but who were much written about. I am also very much involved with the Female Factory Historic Site at Cascades, on the outskirts of Hobart, a heritage site of considerable complexity and conflict.

		[ A - G ] Pam Allen Senior Lecturer in Indonesian Coordinator of Asian Studies School of Asian Languages and Studies University of Tasmania [homepage] Research Interests: My research interests fall mostly into the category of post-colonial' studies, although I do have an interest in colonial literature of the Indies - in particular novels written by Dutch colonials. My particular interest in post-colonial hybridity, specifically as it is expressed through literature but also as evoked through the experiences of Eurasians in Indonesia. In this respect I am interested in the displacement and repositioning that occurs as a result of colonialism, and also the evolution of neo-colonialisms. My current main research interest is the response in literature and other cultural activity in Bali to the 2002 bombings, and an examination of an intensification of regional - as opposed to national - identity in Indonesia. Recent Relevant Publications include: '"Negotiating Identity: Chinese Indonesians in Post-Suharto Indonesia" (with Sarah Turner) in Indonesian Drama: Cohesion or Disintergration in a Globalizing World? edited by Geoff Hainsworth and Bobi Setiawan (ISEAS Books, 2005, forthcoming) "Deconstructing the Diaspora: The Construction of Chinese Indonesian Identity in post-Suharto Indonesia" in E.Palmer (ed).

An introduction, detailed notes, and other material will provide a critical commentary to each volume. Two books have already been published: Love Besieged: A Romance of the Defence of Lucknow by Charles E. Pearce Lilamani by Maud Diver Two further volumes are scheduled for publication in 2004 and 2005: Daughters of India by Margaret Wilson The Broken Road by A.E.W. Mason Imperial Whiteness In collaboration with Radhika Mohanram (Cardiff University) I am working on a reader on Imperial Whiteness. Imperial Whiteness: A Reader will provide an introduction to the field of imperial whiteness. It will include essays which examine the racial dimensions of imperial whiteness in tandem with other political realities such as those that spring from class, gender, sexual, and other affiliations. J.G. Farrell In collaboration with Chris Ackerley (University of Otago) I am working on a companion to the fiction of J.G. Farrell. A J.G. Farrell Encyclopedia will gather in a single volume all the essential facts about Farrell's life, his fiction, and the intellectual and social milieu which forms the background to his writing.
