Mary Ann Hunter invited to Vancouver to participate in roundtable In October, Mary Ann participated in a week-long residency at the Peter Wall Institute for

Advanced Studies at the University of British Columbia, Vancouver. She was invited to join

20 international researchers in arts, law, neuro-ethics, public policy, education, and peace

and conflict studies for a roundtable to investigate the topic, ‘Resilience, Arts, and Social

Transformation’. The week's activities included workshops by leading arts practitioners from

Serbia, USA, and South Africa as well as discussions with professionals working in settings

as diverse as child refugee support, NASA astronaut training, environmental biology,

and community-based programs for people with HIV/AIDS. During the residency, Mary Ann

lead a working group on interdisciplinary evaluation, and is partnering with Dr Kitche Magak

of Maseno University, Kenya, on establishing a new peer-reviewed journal in interdisciplinary

arts and social change.

Gambling research report in the news Christine Gardner and John Williamson completed a research report, Weighing up the odds,

commissioned by the Department of Health and Human Service (DHHS), Tasmania. Six

hundred and six Tasmanians aged between 14 and 17 years participated in the study.

The Mercury, August 20, 2012, (pp. 1, 4) ran the story of the study’s release and reported

that Human Services Minister, Cassy O’Connor who launched the report, had said that its

findings would inform programs aimed at saving young people from becoming problem

gamblers. In the same article Independent Denison MP Andrew Wilkie commented that the

report was a good step that must be followed up with action.

More recently The Examiner journalist, Rosita Gallasch, on November 19th (p. 8) presented

a feature news investigation about young people and gambling in which several of the

report’s key findings were presented relating to young people’s knowledge-or lack of

knowledge-about gambling, and their related experiences, beliefs and attitudes.

The report is available on the DHHS website

Spotlight on our Research Higher Degree students

A new regular feature of Research News will be a profile of one of our Research Higher

Degree students. In this edition we turn the spotlight on Yaar Muhammad.

I grew up in Jhelum, a small town situated just one hundred kilometres away from

Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan.

I completed a BA in Islamic Studies, B.Ed, MA in Urdu literature and MSc in Pakistan

Studies from prestigious universities in Pakistan. In 2008 I went to Sweden to undertake an

MA in Outdoor Education and Outdoor Life. During my study in Sweden, I became interested

in the MA in International Migration and Ethnic Life and completed the two MA degrees

simultaneously (both with Swedish VG comparable to Australian High Distinction).

In Sweden, when I successfully defended my two MA theses, my supervisors and teachers

emphatically advised me to do a PhD, which awakened my interest in working as an

academic at higher levels. Since my research interests were interdisciplinary, and the topic

was focused on Pakistan, I could not find an expert in Sweden or Denmark. I was offered a

scholarship in an Italian University at the same time as receiving an offer of a place here in

UTas. Because of the attraction of a strong supervisory team consisting of Prof Derek

Colquhoun, Dr Marion Myhill, and Dr Gregory Ashman, as well as an Elite Scholarship, I

decided to accept the UTas offer and move to Tasmania to do my PhD. After 6 months, I

believe my decision was 100 % right.

The topic of my PhD project is “National Identity, Religious Diversity and Citizenship

Education Curriculum in Pakistan: An Interpretive Policy Analysis”.

The educational disadvantage of the religious minorities is the main cause for concern in my

study. I am doing a detailed and comprehensive examination of the curriculum policy for

citizenship education in Pakistan as this is a primary source of the controversy among

various communities throughout the country. I am interested in understanding how

Policymakers, and affected citizens such as Islamic nationalists (orthodox Muslims) and

Pakistani nationalists (liberal Muslims and minority activists) engage in framing the

controversy in the public sphere so that through frame analysis I can put forward

suggestions for the reformulation of the policy.

When I am not studying, I spend my spare time talking to my kids, teaching and guiding

them through Skype.
