History
2006, Australia, as Australian Association for the Advancement of Pacific Studies (AAAPS), following a workshop organized in Canberra (Australia), 2004 and the subsequent first conference of the Association in Brisbane (Australia) 2006, identifying a malaise in Australia in teaching and research on the Pacific and calling for a programme to revive and enhance excellence in teaching and research. The Association also acknowledged the increasing concern in Australia about security, good governance, stability and development in the neighbouring region, which includes 2 territories formerly under Australian colonial control-Nauru and Papua New Guinea. The need for a review of teaching and research grew from the sense of falling behind felt among the Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences in universities, but equally among archives, libraries, galleries and museums.
Aims
Promote international excellence of Australian research and teaching in Pacific Studies; play an advocacy role with government, NGOs, schools, business, media and universities; promote Pacific Studies and its component disciplines at the undergraduate and postgraduate level; promote the role of Australian repositories in the collection, preservation and access to Pacific Island research, cultural and historical materials; promote excellence in the teaching of Pacific Studies through professional development programmes for university teachers; promote public knowledge and study of Australia-Pacific Island relations.
