Upcoming Events
Deakin Policy Forum: Coal Seam and Shale Gas: The Implications of Gas Developments in Australia, US and Globally
8 October 2013
This Deakin Policy Forum will raise key questions the revolution in energy markets globally, associated with newly commercial technology in the coal seam gas and shale gas sectors of the energy market. There has been debate in the US about the extent or longevity of the boom in unconventional hydrocarbon production from shales, and in Australia about massive LNG exports using coal seam gas. Domestic gas market impacts and impacts on ground water and other industries have also been controversial.
New research suggests the boom is real, substantial and highly beneficial across the community if well managed. Australia has substantial potential to produce its own shale gas, as well as CSG, and those resources are likely to help maintain Australia's position as a major LNG exporter, and relatively low-priced region for natural gas, for many decades to come.

Workshop: Multiple ontologies/ontological relativity workshop
17-18 December 2013
The Alfred Deakin Research Institute's Sustainable Communities and Regions Cluster is proud to present this interdisciplinary workshop.
The notion that ontology, as a system of what there is in the world, could be multiple, or relative to another, stands in contrast to notions of singularity and absoluteness. At this level of formulation, multiplicity, or relativity, is defined in opposition to a unitary, and unifying, system, yet we can surmise nothing further about the implications of the multiple, or even what it means. This workshop is dedicated to the precise ways in which there could be, or are, multiple interpretations of multiple ontologies, leading to various meanings and applications. By encouraging constructive cross-disciplinary exchange, particularly in the disciplines of Anthropology, Literary Studies and Philosophy, the workshop aims to arrive at both a clearer articulation of multiplicity/relativity and a corollary clarification of difference, with implications for ethics and responsibility.
