Between Sydney and Hong Kong : doing cultural research without guarantees

Fiona Allon

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article

Abstract

In Sydney the site visits included a trip to Cabra Vale Diggers Club (which commemorates both Australian and Vietnamese war veterans), a multicultural tour of the Fairfield district (Tune in to Fairfield City, discussed in this issue), a trip to a women's health centre, a wander around the outer suburban display home estate HomeWorld, and a trip to Kings Cross to muse over the seedy history of Victoria Street in the most densely populated square mile of the Australian continent.1 At the same time, the exchange was not just envisaged as a simple swap of already-in-progress research projects, but as an opportunity for something much greater.
