A gold-standard primary diplomatic corpus. This volume presents the first comprehensive oral history of veteran Australian diplomat John Lander, with contextual exegesis, footnotes and full APA references. Lander served in the Department of Foreign Affairs China section during the critical 1971–1972 period leading to recognition of the People’s Republic of China. He was Deputy Ambassador in Beijing (1974–1976, including periods as Chargé d’Affaires) and Australia’s first Ambassador to the Islamic Republic of Iran (1985–1987). Later, as Director of the Economic and Commercial Section of the Office of Multicultural Affairs under the Hawke and Keating governments, he was tasked with putting “flesh on the bones” of the core tenet that diversity is an economic strength -- work never previously documented in this form. Note: Views are John Lander’s personal recollections and analysis; not official Australian Government positions.
THE RESEARCH CONTEXT: 1) AUTO-ETHNOGRAPHIC PILOT STUDY
Trans-media Autoethnography at the 11th Nishan Forum: From Xinjiang to Harmony-Intercultural Pedagogy and Civilizational Dialogue
https://doi.org/10.31124/advance.175335015.55062303/v1
This auto-ethnographic study reflects on my participation in the 11th Nishan Forum on World Civilizations (2025/07/09-10, Qufu, China), themed "Beauty in Diversity: Nurturing Understanding Among Civilizations for Global Modernization." As an Australian intercultural communication (IC) educator with 14 years in China, my panel contribution on "Mutual Assistance in Pursuing Modernization" bridged personal experience-rooted in Xinjiang teaching (2011-12)-with global dialogue. Utilizing a trans-media approach, this paper integrates written reflection with a video narrative, drawing on Jenkins' (2006) storytelling framework and Walley's (2015) template. Data from field notes and consented footage, edited into a montagist, split-screen video, explore cultural shifts from Western individualism to collectivist harmony. READ MORE
THE RESEARCH CONTEXT: 2) AUTO-ETHNOGRAPHIC VIDEOGRAPHY
“Being In Time”: China, Place Memory & Pedagogy – From Xinjiang To Shanghai
"Being in Time is a 35 min auto-ethnographic film, the first half of a two-part digital feature. It explores foreign EFL teacher identity construct dialectics in contemporary China, qualified by China/West geo-political tensions. It is an experimental pilot to an ongoing, episodic series within a longitudinal auto-ethnographic trans-media parent project. This parent project relates my lived experience as an EFL teacher in China’s language education system. I worked within this system in both the public, government-run sector (secondary education in Xinjiang [XUAR] prior to tertiary pedagogic practice in Shandong and Shanghai) and the private, corporate driven EdTech sector (in Shanghai). The film was completed during “zero-Covid” conditions in China from 2020/02 to 2022/12. Second part production was thereafter initiated in tandem with my current tertiary level teaching of Inter-Cultural Communication [IC]". READ MORE
THE RESEARCH CONTEXT: 3) TRANSMEDIA DIGITAL PUBLISHING
“Opal Sky Media”: Insider-Led, Insider Driven "Multiculturalism as Lived Experience"
"Opal Sky Media" is an insider-led transmedia digital publisher exploring multicultural identity as lived experience, beginning in Australia. Some stories are told about people, others are told from within. OSM begins with lived experience, not as something to be explained, but as expertise in itself. OSM works through auto-ethnography and transmedia, combining personal truth with rigorous research across books, film and digital forms. Our focus is Australia. Not as an idea, but as it is lived. From dreamtime to now. From the personal to the collective. From the margins to the centre. Australia is a nation still in transformation. Its identity is not settled. The most honest stories come from those living through that transformation. This is why OSM exists: to platform insider voices, to document Australian stories with care and rigour. Insider voices. Australian stories. Join us. READ MORE
