Catharine Coleborne and Kaya Barry<\/h2>\n

Please join us for this year\u2019s CeMoRe Winter Webinar at which Catharine Coleborne<\/b> (Professor of History, Newcastle, AU) and Kaya Barry<\/b> (Senior Lecturer in Geography and Art, Griffith, AU) will be presenting on their recent research. Although focusing on different periods in Australasian history, their research shares a common interest in the im\/mobilities of the disenfranchised.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kaya<\/span><\/b> will reflect upon the findings of her ARC-funded research project, \u2018Momentarily Immobile: the Futures of Backpacking and Seasonal Farm Workers\u2019 with a short paper entitled: \u2018Unseasonable Mobilities: practices of farming, weathering, and labour migration\u2019.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Following the presentations, our two discussants<\/strong>, Katie Pickles <\/strong>(Professor of History, Canterbury, New Zealand) and Giovanni Bettini <\/strong>(Senior Lecturer, Lancaster\u2019s Environment Centre and CeMoRe Associate Director) will share their thoughts and questions, after which we will open up the discussion to our online participants.<\/p>\n
