*Cultural Research*
*Postgraduate Symposium*

 *Call for Papers*

*‘Bodies and Belongings: Transitions, Citizenship & Participation’*

The *Griffith Centre for Cultural Research *(GCCR) and the *School of
Humanities *are hosting Griffith's Third Annual Cultural Research
Postgraduate Symposium, organised by postgraduates for postgraduates. The
theme for the symposium will be 'Bodies and Belongings: Transitions,
Citizenship & Participation'. We are seeking papers on a wide range of
topics from students in various disciplines across the humanities and social
sciences: from sociologists to creative arts practitioners; from writers to
historians. We seek to offer an open and inclusive academic space for
emerging scholars to shape and develop their work, contributing to a broader
discussion on contemporary negotiations of bodies and how, where, and *if *they
belong.

The two‐day symposium will include multiple themed sessions where students
will present papers‐in‐progress and a keynote presentation from Professor
Johanna Wyn, Director of the Youth Research Centre and leader of the
Education, Equity and Social Change cluster in the Melbourne Graduate School
of Education within the University of Melbourne. Johanna Wyn has written
extensively on young people and their transitions, their health and
wellbeing, and their participation in culture and society.

There is no cost associated with attending the symposium. We are inviting
HDR students working in the Humanities, the Arts, or conducting Cultural
Research to submit abstracts for consideration in the program. The event is
also open to interested staff and undergraduate students, though HDR
students will be considered favourably.
