Author interview: Q and A with Dr Ian Sanjay Patel on we’re here because you were there: immigration and the end of empire
No full textIn this author interview, we speak to Dr Ian Sanjay Patel about his new book, We’re Here Because You Were There: Immigration and the End of Empire, which explores post-war immigration laws, the afterlives of British imperial citizenship and related attempts to reimagine and rejuvenate British imperialism after 1945. Contributing to transnational histories of decolonisation, the book also explores the interconnections between human rights, post-war migration and international diplomacy. Author Interview with Dr Ian Sanjay Patel, author of We’re Here Because You Were There: Immigration and the End of Empire. Verso. 2021

Ian Bogost at X-Media Lab: serious gaming
No full textVideo games are usually viewed as a form of escapism: pure entertainment and shoot-em-up fantasy. But increasingly, games are being recognised as educational tools, or as deliverers of social or political messages. This evolving medium is taking on complex environments and issues, and providing a platform for people to explore a world or situation in an interactive way. In this talk at the X Media Lab in Sydney, video game theorist and designer Ian Bogost gives an overview of how video games can benefit human existence.
Ian Bogost is author of "Unit Operations: An Approach to Videogame Criticism", recently listed among "50 books for everyone in the game industry". He also wrote "Persuasive Games: The Expressive Power of Videogames", and was co-author of "Racing the Beam: The Atari Video Computer System". He is widely considered an influential thinker and doer in the videogame industry and research community.

Solid-state astrochemistry in star-forming regions
No full textSurface-catalysed chemical reactions, the molecules they form, and the implications for star formation were key themes in an international workshop on “Solid-state chemistry in star-forming regions” at the Lorentz Centre, Leiden University, the Netherlands from 14–17 April 2003. Helen Fraser, David Williams, Ian Sims, Anita Richards and Jeremy Yates report
Radically different kinetics at low temperatures
No full text"""The use of the CRESU (Cinétique de Réaction en Ecoulement Supersonique Uniforme, or Reaction Kinetics in Uniform Supersonic Flow) technique coupled with pulsed laser photochemical kinetics methods has shown that reactions involving radicals can be very rapid at temperatures down to 10 K or below. The results have had a major impact in astrochemistry and planetology, as well as proving an exacting test for theory.\footnote{H. Sabbah, L. Biennier, I. R. Sims, Y. Georgievskii, S. J. Klippenstein, I. W. M. Smith, Science \textbf{317}, 102 (2007).} The technique has also been applied to the formation of transient complexes of interest both in atmospheric chemistry\footnote{S. D. Le Picard, M. Tizniti, A. Canosa, I. R. Sims, I. W. M. Smith, Science \textbf{328}, 1258 (2010).} and combustion.\footnote{H. Sabbah, L. Biennier, S. J. Klippenstein, I. R. Sims, B. R. Rowe, J. Phys. Chem. Lett. \textbf{1}, 2962 (2010).}
Until now, all of the chemical reactions studied in this way have taken place on attractive potential energy surfaces with no overall barrier to reaction. The F + H HF + H reaction does possess a substantial energetic barrier ( 800 K), and might therefore be expected to slow to a negligible rate at very low temperatures. In fact, this H-atom abstraction reaction does take place efficiently at low temperatures due entirely to tunneling. I will report direct experimental measurements of the rate of this reaction down to a temperature of 11 K, in remarkable agreement with state-of-the-art quantum reactive scattering calculations by François Lique (Université du Havre) and Millard Alexander (University of Maryland). \footnote{ M. Tizniti, S. D. Le Picard, F. Lique, C. Berteloite, A. Canosa, M. H. Alexander, I. R. Sims, Nature Chemistry \textbf{6}, 141 (2014).}
It is thought that long chain cyanopolyyne molecules H(C)CN may play an important role in the formation of the orange haze layer in Titan’s atmosphere. The longest carbon chain molecule observed in interstellar space, HCN, is also a member of this series. I will present new results, obtained in collaboration with Jean-Claude Guillemin (Ecole de Chimie de Rennes) and Stephen Klippenstein (Argonne National Labs), on reactions of CH, CN\footnote{S. Cheikh Sid Ely, S. B. Morales, J. C. Guillemin, S. J. Klippenstein, I. R. Sims, J. Phys. Chem. A \textbf{117}, 12155 (2013).} and CN radicals (using a new LIF scheme by Hoshina and Endo\footnote{K. Hoshina, Y. Endo, J. Chem. Phys. \textbf{127}, 184304 (2007).}) which contribute to the low temperature formation of (cyano)polyynes."""Submitted by Mary Schlembach ([email protected]) on 2014-11-21T21:55:38Z

Democracy Sausage with Mark Kenny: How to be a liberal with Ian Dunt
No full textOn this Democracy Sausage Extra, Ian Dunt - host of the Oh God, What Now? podcast and author of How to be a liberal - joins Mark Kenny to discuss the history of liberal thought, how it has shaped present day politics, and the origins of the ‘culture wars’. Have the culture wars emerged out of the failures of liberalism? Why haven’t contemporary political actors done more to protect people from prejudice and the tyranny of the majority? And is liberalism a natural corollary to democracy? On this Democracy Sausage Extra, author, political journalist and broadcaster Ian Dunt joins Professor Mark Kenny to discuss the history of political thought, present day politics, and liberalism’s trajectory
Ian Hancock - Head of Department of History, Faculty of Arts, ANU
No full textThis audio interview with Ian Hancock is part of the Emeritus Faculty's Oral History Program involving retired members of ANU who were part of the university in its earlier life. The Oral History Program was initiated and developed by ANU Emeritus Faculty as a contribution to university and community understanding of the beginnings and development of ANU over the past seven decades. Emeritus Faculty has a special interest in this period since the Faculty's membership includes many of the people who helped shape ANU in those early days, to make it the preeminent university it is today.
Ian held Teaching appointments in the Department of History, Faculty of Arts for many years and for many was Head of the Department. As seen in his CV Ian has broad interests among these being a preeminent author of past and present members of the Australian Liberal Party
