CALL FOR PAPERS

InASA Biennial Conference 

Monash University, Melbourne, 5-7 December 2012



Submissions close 17 August 2012

 

Border Breach: Australia & The Global Circulation of Ideas



Keynote speakers include Adrian Franklin, Susan Ryan, Kim Scott & Gillian Whitlock




Panels and papers are invited which address the following themes, in terms of contemporary debates and historical/cultural perspectives on the issue of borders:



• Debate: climate change, corporate accountability and democracy

• Mobility: migration, diasporas, refugees and trafficking

• Difference: citizenship and multiculturalism

• Economy: trade, ethics and counter publics

• Finance: crisis, trade barriers and sovereignty

• Security: resistance, protest and hacking

• Communication: cyber activism, media empires, citizen journalism

• Land: resource, territory and place

• Indigeniety: interventions, global and local connections

 

We also hope to encourage discussion of the future of Australian studies itself. In its 25th year, how is Australian Studies changing to embrace new areas of scholarship such as cultural and media studies, to project Australian research and teaching beyond our borders and the challenge to engage beyond the academy? How might research in Australian studies engage with the broader national debate, through the media, in public policy and in the new national curriculum
