Development volunteering programs and the cultural history of foreign aid

这个项目计划通过研究20世纪50年代和60年代在澳大利亚、英国和美国的发展志愿服务项目来研究外国援助的文化史。通过研究吸引公众关注对外援助政策的项目，它试图确定关于发展和第三世界的主流思想是如何形成的，并追踪民意对对外援助体系的政治影响。预计该项目将扩展国际事务文化史方面的新兴学术，并扩大我们对澳大利亚人对亚洲的看法的理解。

This project plans to examine the cultural history of foreign aid through the study of development volunteering programs in Australia, Britain and the United States during the 1950s and 1960s. By examining programs that attracted the public's attention to foreign aid policy, it seeks to ascertain how mainstream ideas about development and the Third World developed and to trace the political impact of popular opinion on the foreign aid system. It is anticipated that this project will extend emerging scholarship on the cultural history of international affairs and expand our understanding of Australian perceptions of Asia.
