Introduction
Asia and Australia: Bound by Sea
takes an innovative approach to exploring connections and engagement between
Australia and various places in Asia by focusing on the movement of peoples,
materials, technology, resources, ideas and aspirations to demonstrate the
sea's ongoing significance as a medium of interaction and exchange.
You will
explore historic and contemporary encounters that have been variously
collaborative, conflicted, accidental or anticipatory, and examine how these
encounters may inform future relationships between Asia and Australia. Topics
may include, for example, the historic pearling trade, disasters and recovery,
tourism, shipping and logistical planning, and contestation and cooperation in
the South China Sea and Southern Ocean.
