Augustus Earle (1793-1838) and the roles of humanism and science in interpreting the world and its peoples.

这项研究涉及两个全国性的问题。首先是澳大利亚理解和参与全球环境的能力。更深入地了解厄尔和其他艺术家与世界各地人民的接触，将激发人们对全球旅游业中已经存在的过去评估的兴趣。其次，对过去科学与艺术之间有影响力的合作形式的研究，将有助于我们了解当今艺术与科学之间跨学科和跨部门研究合作的问题。这项研究解决了世界各国政府目前正在考虑的一个问题，澳大利亚总理的科学、工程和创新委员会也在考虑这个问题。

The study relates to two national concerns. The first is Australia's capacity to understand and engage with its global environment. A closer understanding of Earle's and other artists' engagement with peoples around the world will feed the interest in past appraisals that already exists in global tourism. Secondly, a study of a past, influential form of collaboration between science and art will shed light on the issues in cross-disciplinary and cross-sectoral research collaborations between the arts and sciences in our own day. The study addresses an issue currently being considered by governments around the world, and in Australia by the Prime Minister's Science, Engineering and Innovation Council.
