The School of English, Media Studies and Art History in association with the
Australian Studies Centre at the University of Queensland invites you to
participate in a three day master-class for postgraduate and early career
researchers with keynote speakers from the International Conference:
Whiteness and the Horizons of Race to address a variety of questions
including but not limited to the following:

 

 

*** How can our writing do better justice to the multiple and persistent
legacies of policies and practices of racialisation in Australia,
Asia-Pacific and the United States? *** What lessons can Australian
researchers draw about historical and current formations of whiteness and
race from those working and writing in different national contexts? ** How
has writing on whiteness and race over the past decade responded to
political attacks on social justice advocacy manifested in the US 'culture
wars' and the Australian 'history wars'? *** How are racialised interests
being re-articulated in relation to interests of class, sexuality and gender
in cultural forms, national and international policies and everyday
practices of global capitalism in the 21st century? *** How have
non-Indigenous historians and theorists of whiteness and race responded to
challenges posed by Indigenous sovereignty in settler-colonial nations? ***
How have established disciplines such as history, anthropology and
psychology shaped understandings of whiteness and race? *** To what extent
do more recent, cross-disciplinary approaches such as postcolonial studies,
queer theory and cultural studies offer new methodologies and possibilities
for alternative understandings? *** Where does current work on whiteness and
race fit into discussions about globalisation and cultural convergence? ***
How has the research and writing of Indigenous and other academics
racialised as non-white challenged and changed whiteness as an implicit
epistemological norm in academic research and writing across a range of
disciplines?
