Dear CSAA,

I will be announcing the new CSAA postgraduate representative early next
week, following an executive vote on Thursday.

The following is a formal call for expressions of interest for the following
position on the CSAA executive:

South Australia Representative

If you are interested in this position, please send a short statement (up to
250 words) to paul.magee at canberra.edu.au  describing: i) your current
position / enrolment / relation to the university, ii) your research
interests, and iii) where you would like to see the Cultural Studies
community heading.

Expressions of interest need to be received by Monday 6th of August 2007
(one fortnight away). The current CSAA executive will elect the
representative in the ensuing weeks.

NB The duties of representatives are not particularly onerous. By the same
token, they involve having considerable say in the running of the
association and the setting of its policy agendas. Formally, the duties are:

1) To partake in debates relevant to CSAA administration and policy

2) To collect information about CSAA events and initiatives among their
constituencies and supply this to the Secretary, the Newsletter Editor and
the Website Editor

3) To supply the Newsletter Editor with at least one 500 word piece on an
issue relevant to practitioners of cultural studies in Australia and New
Zealand.

For further info on executive activities and current membership, please see
http://www.csaa.asn.au/about/executive.php

NBB To be eligible you must be a paid-up member of the CSAA (anyone who was
registered for the full three days of last year¹s conference is
automatically a paid-up member. If not, feel free to join now, at
http://www.csaa.asn.au/index.php ). Also, and just in case this isn¹t
obvious, you must be resident in South Australia. NB while the position is
normally held by an academic, postgraduates and scholars without
institutional positions are welcome to apply.

Feel free to contact me to discuss further
