Griffith the Utopian
No full textBackground:
By invitation, I contributed research text to the SCLQ’s public Exhibition, The Many Hats of Sir Samuel Griffith. Marking the centenary of Griffith’s passing, this eponymous Exhibition is long-running, 23.11.20-29.10.21. It questions the impact and legacy of Griffith’s legal history in seven standalone components. I authored two separate components within the Exhibition’s walk-around textual/object installation. COVID-19 has delayed the upload of the accompanying permanent online archive and the launch event by Federal Court Justice Andrew Greenwood (now 11.5.21).
Contribution:
This major research contribution concerns the sixth component, ‘Griffith the Utopian’. It recognises a little-recognised influence on Griffith – utopian philosophy, including Marx and George. This component underlines Griffith’s influences and attempted reforms, the contemporary political complexities and ferment, and his abiding desire for social justice and democracy. It is innovative in relating to installed pictorials – an 1885 Queensland satiric news cartoon and More’s 1516’s Utopia – and to diverse intellectual resources and reform initiatives. By foregrounding the intellectual background to Griffith’s political decisions and opinion pieces, the complexities of his political compromises are indicated. This component offers valuable educational perspectives/resources for lawyers, academics, students and the public, and offers continuing legal history interest.
Significance:
The Exhibition is significant for its public benefit aims and judicial-academic collaboration. This component is notable for juxtaposing Griffith’s little-promoted visionary aspects and reform influences, with his political career and pragmatic decisions. Accompanied by public lectures and Curator’s tours, the acclaim of this on-going Exhibition is attested to by its publicity, permanent online status, and continued attendance during COVID-19.No Full Tex

Griffith the Dantista
No full textBackground
By invitation, I contributed research text to the SCLQ’s public Exhibition, The Many Hats of Sir Samuel Griffith. Marking the centenary of Griffith’s passing, this eponymous Exhibition is long-running, 23.11.20-29.10.21. It questions the impact and legacy of Griffith’s legal history in seven standalone components. I authored two separate components within the Exhibition’s walk-around textual/object installation. COVID-19 has delayed the upload of the accompanying permanent online archive and the launch event by Federal Court Justice Andrew Greenwood (now 11.5.21).
Contribution
This major research contribution concerns the seventh component, ‘Griffith the Dantista’. It recognises Griffith’s four main translations and stresses Dante’s influence on Griffith’s remarkable life and enduring achievements – he was Dante’s first Australian translator. This component underlines Dante as a vital outlet and cultural interest for Griffith, particularly during his labours as Chief Justice of the highest courts of Queensland and Australia. It is innovative in relating to the installed rare-book objects/translations, and in stressing this literary dimension of Griffith. By contextualising Griffith’s Dantista contributions, this component offers valuable educational perspectives/resources for lawyers, academics, students and the public, and offers continuing legal history interest.
Significance
The Exhibition is significant for its public benefit aims and judicial-academic collaboration. This component is particularly notable given the coinciding anniversaries of Griffith’s and Dante’s deaths – Griffith’s 100th and Dante’s 700th. Queensland’s Italian Consul visited the Exhibition and adverted to Dante’s anniversary and this component’s excellence in his emailed congratulations to me. Accompanied by public lectures and Curator’s tours, the acclaim of this on-going Exhibition is attested to by its publicity, permanent online status, and continued attendance during COVID-19.No Full Tex
Fundamental Limitations of Small Antennas
No full textThe physical size and material properties of antennas are major limiting factors of the antennas performance. These limitations are usually manifested through parameters such as bandwidth, quality factor and efficiency. The presented research examines these fundamental limitations with specific focus on electrically small antennas, and a new bound for antenna efficiency is developed.Thesis (PhD Doctorate)Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)Griffith School of EngineeringScience, Environment, Engineering and TechnologyFull Tex
Playing with Fire: Understanding the Sunni-Shi'a Sectarian Lifecycle
No full textThis article discusses the ingrained impediments which are likely to stifle India's rise and growth - a phenomenon which has figured prominently in scholarly and official assessments, in India and outside, for over a decade now. Intriguingly India's rise as a global power has already been adjudged a certainty in these assessments, but the author contends that there exists an apparent disjuncture between how the world sees India and the prevailing internal impediments. Therefore, any assessment of India as a global power without incorporating these impediments would be incomplete, misplaced and hyperbolic. Of late, in the light of India's growing internal and external socio-economic and political difficulties, more and more writings and proclamations by Indian and international experts indicate emerging scepticism over India's potential as a global power. This paper takes a rollcall of India's internal impediments including, human development, institutional and security challenges which according to the author have already begun restraining India's global ascent.Griffith Business School, Griffith Asia InstituteFull Tex
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
