Alex Halderman, Princeton University: "Securing the Electronic Ballot"
In the wake of the 2000 Florida recount debacle, many states turned to computer voting machines to increase election accuracy and security. Many computer scientists have long been skeptical of such machines, but only recently have researchers had access to them for study. In in his talk he describes how his colleagues and he examined several widely used electronic voting systems and discovered that they were susceptible to attacks that could alter election results and compromise the secrecy of

The Fruits of the Genome for Society - February 17, 2010
Lunch 'n Learn presentation: The sequence of the human genome, the primary goal of the Human Genome Project, was achieved just a few years ago. Because our genomes are a string of 3 billion sequences of four chemical letters in the DNA polymer, the ability to obtain genomic sequences depended on revolutionary progress not just in DNA chemistry but also on the equally revolutionary advances in speed, capacity and versatility of digital computers. By far the most prominent result of the determinat

The Great Crash of 2008
This public forum will discuss The Great Crash of 2008 by Ross Garnaut, with David Llewellyn-Smith, Melbourne University Press, to be released on 12 October 2009. The book examines the factors that led to the Great Crash of 2008 and subsequently to the current global recession. It provides an integrated analysis of one of the major events of our time, drawing on behavioural economics, the issue of global macroeconomic imbalances and the operation of modern financial markets. The study also discu
APW2010: Trends in Management and Development of Natural Resources across Asia-Pacific
Professor Neil Byron is currently Commissioner for the study into Market Mechanism for Recovering Water in the Murray-Darling Basin. He was the founding Director of the graduate program in Environmental Management and Development in the National Centre for Development Studies in ANU.
APW2010: Transnational: Reality First, Word Second
This talk will approach "transnational" as a plastic word and discuss how the word has been used without referring to the reality that necessitated the coinage of this word in the first place. It will link "transnational" to a particular reality that has been taking place in and between Japan and China since the 1930s to the present. It will consider yet another characteristic of a 'plastic word' that it 'transforms history into a laboratory.' Here, the question is 'who transnationalises what,'
Week 04 Lecture: Managing the Murray-Darling Basin: a Case Study in Equity
Globally there is increasing conflict over scarce water resources. This lecture offers a case study of what is going to be a key global issue - how do we manage conflicting demands for water. The management of the Murray-Darling Basin illustrates the social, economic, and political difficulties in managing a landscape that covers 5 states and territories, and is relied upon to produce a large proportion of Australia's produce. Conflicting rights to water, overallocation, and pollution are a few
Week 08 Panel: Case Studies on Indigenous People's Involvement in Natural Resource Management
Katie Curchin will discuss the ongoing controversy surrounding the Makah people's traditional right to hunt whale, and explore some of the key stakeholders involved. Richard will present a case study on his work with the Yanyuwa people in Northern Australia. The Yanyuwa case example is presented to highlight the changes that global forces have brought to Indigenous people globally.
