Project details:
Jewish émigrés who ran from Nazi persecution and anti-Semitism prior to, during, and after the Holocaust had a substantial impact on Australian life in a range of disciplines including art and design, industry, architecture, politics, and education. These émigrés exemplify a history that is inherently geographical, and their material and imaginative travels did not end once they got to Australia.
Through a method that focuses on transnational and diasporic histories (Curthoys and Lake 2005; Peterson 2017; Hawcroft 2017; Erll 2011, 2014) this project will discover new ways of telling stories of travel, training, and trauma in expositions linked to the Holocaust and other genocides.
How did émigrés’ education, professional practice and skills travel with them, and impact their work? What are the micro and macro influences on Australian culture? How can these personal accounts be presented within broader histories? How can the chronicling of material and creative journeys of people and relics be utilised to inform new methods to curatorial practice? How might these in turn demonstrate a more nuanced reading of the influence of migration to Australia?
They invite expressions of interest for a PhD project which tackles this wide theme.
This scholarship award and research project is backed by Sir Wilfred and CH Brookes Charitable Foundation.
Deakin University recognizes with appreciation the support of Sir Wilfred & C H (Roger) Brookes Charitable Foundation, especially the late Roger Brookes.
This project is motivated by the life and work of Professor Fred Jevons AO. Jevons fled Austria in 1939 on a Kindertransport, staying in the UK and becoming a pioneering educator and researcher prior to relocating to Australia in 1976 and becoming Deakin University’s pioneering first Vice-Chancellor.
