Mark the Calendar

Associate Professor Xie Yu Mei from Southern Yangtze University, China is visiting Monash University Gippsland Campus until the end of May to gain an understanding of Australian university teaching methods and Monash academic material to assist in teaching Economics to students involved with the two plus two program between the Faculty of Business and Economics - Gippsland and Southern Yangtze University. Southern Yangtze students will be studying in China for the first two years and then transfer to Gippsland for the final two years of their degree. The first group of students is expected to commence at Gippsland in July 2006.

Dr Ron Gallagher, Research & Development Director, Lonely Planet Publications will be presenting the Humanities, Communications & Social Sciences research seminars on Monday, April 18 and Tuesday, April 19. On Monday, Dr Gallagher presents ‘University-Industry Research Partnerships and Grants’ and gives an overview of the grant getting and industry collaboration process from a Lonely Planet perspective. On Tuesday, Dr Gallagher will present ‘Interpreting Pictures’ and how his work explores the philosophical implications of work in vision research and the growing body of evidence that interpreting pictures has more in common with natural visual recognition than it has with a language.
