The chosen work offers a range of interdisciplinary projects which interrogate concepts of 'whiteness', Indigeneity, and Asian-ness.'

Look Who's Morphing : Popular Culture, Asian Identities and New Possibilities for Fiction, Tom Cho , single work criticism
— Review of Look Who's Morphing Tom Cho , 2009 selected work short story ;
'... [T]hrough some of the examples given in this paper, it is possible to see how the exploration of popular culture might provide writers with alternative approaches to exploring identity. Forms such as fan fiction can play with fluidity in fresh and fun ways. ' (The Author)
Intimate Strangers : Contemporary Australian Travel Writing, the Semiotics of Empathy, and the Therapeutics of Race, Robert Clarke , single work criticism
'Increasingly, domestic white Australian travel narratives mobilise encounters with Aboriginality as contexts for political and ethical critiques of white hegemony that, in turn, reflect different manifestations of sympathetic white liberal discourses of reconciliation.... This paper focuses on how these narratives represent performances of a white Australian postcolonial sensibility towards Aboriginality that defines itself through a semiotics of empathy ... for Aboriginality, and how the co-ordinates of this semiotics shifted over the 1990s in response to movements in the Australian public sphere vis-à-vis the politics and ethics of reconciliation.' (Introduction)
