The Art Association of Australia and New Zealand (AAANZ) this week condemned the actions of the former Minister of Education and Training, Simon Birmingham, who in 2017 reversed several research funding decisions made by the Australian Research Council (ARC). Many of the scholarly projects arbitrarily refused funding were in art history, visual culture, and related fields; all were in the humanities. This shameful interference in the rigorous peer-review process of Australia’s most significant humanities funding body shows that the current government has no respect for the important work that our members and subscribers do, whether as humanities researchers, as grant […]

The Values of Architecture and the Economy of Culture Abstract Deadline: 26 November 2018 Architecture has always been found in a space between its monetary and cultural values, but the rise of the concept of the cultural economy asks new questions as to how these values of architecture intersect and affect one another.

Architecture itself […]
