Reverse Diaspora: Australian Expatriate Writers in Britain since the 1830s.

在这个项目中，通过文学和戏剧作家来探索澳大利亚和英国之间不断变化的关系。《反向散居》探讨了80位自19世纪初以来选择在英国生活和工作的澳大利亚侨民的抱负、问题和成就。从某种角度来看，它们代表着“人才流失”；另一方面，他们是澳大利亚思想、经验和人才的输出国。这项研究将增加对海外澳大利亚人的生活、创造性成就和公共影响的认识和理解。这将提高澳大利亚人在本地区和世界范围内诠释本国文化的能力。

The changing relations between Australia and Britain are explored in this project through writers of literature and drama. Reverse Diaspora explores the aspirations, problems and achievements of eighty expatriate Australians who have chosen to live and work in Britain since the early nineteenth century. From one point of view they represent a 'brain drain'; from another they are exporters of Australian ideas, experience and talent. This study will increase knowledge and understanding of the lives, creative achievements and public impact of Australians abroad. It will enhance Australians' capacity to interpret their national culture in their region and the world.
