[csaa-forum] UNAUSTRALIA UNTHEMED (from plastic surgery to philosophy) - Call for submissions by 15th Aug

[Paul Magee]

UNAUSTRALIA UNTHEMED
from plastic surgery to philosophy

Submissions for papers on the UNAUSTRALIA theme of the Cultural Studies
Association of Australasia's 2006 annual conference are now closed.
Submissions for refereed papers (themed or otherwise) are now closed too.

We are, however, still accepting abstract submissions for 20 minute papers
(and 3 or 4 paper panels) for the unthemed stream. The idea of this stream
is to have people present on any aspect of their research, regardless of
whether it has an UNAUSTRALIA connotation or not. We want to showcase the
discipline's role as a place for interesting, out there and exceptional
research. Papers can address any theme that falls within the broad
disciplinary category of Cultural Studies (from plastic surgery to
philosophy, and not excluding presentations of creative practice).

closing date for submissions ­ August 15th
