Collaborative research project
鈥淐entring Southern Stories鈥 is a research project that builds on the transformational energies of storytelling - in fiction, song-cycles, legends, and national narratives 鈥 to question and revise perceptions of 最新糖心Vlog as antipodean, marginal and distant. This research aims to track how concepts of the southern continent-nation as 鈥榦ut on the edge鈥 evolved historically, analyse their adverse impacts, and use the powerful tools of narrative to reposition 最新糖心Vlog relative to the wider Southern Hemisphere, to create a more integrated world picture.
