This symposium focuses on current research in Asian-Australian cultures
and cultural production. It is particularly interested in the ways in
which 'Asian-Australian' has developed as a concept and/or field since
the publication of _Alter/Asians_ and _Diaspora: negotiating
Asian-Australia_ (both published in 2000). What forms of
Asian-Australian cultural production have emerged and how are they
positioned? How have communities of Asian descent in Australia
negotiated cultural, public and political spaces?

Symposium themes:
* Asian-Australian cultural production (including literature, film,
performance, and the visual arts)
* Negotiating Asian-Australian identities
* The politics of Asian-Australian representation

The symposium's priorities are to:
* Create momentum for Asian-Australian cultural research.
* Provide a collegial and informal networking opportunity.
* Produce a publication that investigates key issues in
'Asian-Australian studies'
