Moving Ideas: Mobile Policies, Researchers and Connections in the Social Sciences and Humanities - Australia in the global context

Researchers are increasingly moving across national borders to work and live. Around the world, their countries of origin seek to benefit from the exchanges of knowledge and culture and the new connections that arise. There is scant research on this topic, particularly with regard to social sciences and humanities researchers. This study identifies the new configurations of knowledge, culture and connection that come about through such researchers movements. It will enrich socio cultural studies of contemporary knowledge flows and global research governance. It will also identify the most fruitful research policies on researcher mobility for Australia.
