[csaa-forum] CSAA Intermezzo Symposia: Call for Expressions of Interest

[Andrew Hickey]

Dear Cultural Studies Colleagues,

Just a quick announcement to note that Expressions of Interest for 2013 CSAA Intermezzo Symposia are currently being called.

Unfortunately there will be no CSAA Conference for 2013. It has been a difficult year for many universities, with restructures, redundancies, program changes and similar organisational shifts making the prospect of hosting a major conference just too much of an impost.

As an alternative to a major conference, and in the interests of maintaining connections and collegiality between members, the CSAA invites expressions of interest from members to hold short 1-2 day ‘Intermezzo’ symposia at their institution on Cultural Studies and related topics. The intent of the Intermezzo is detailed in the ‘Intermezzo Structure and Guidelines’ document available here<http://csaa.createsend1.com/t/r-l-otjkio-jtlthydluy-u/> (https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_f1-yVGeFAGZk9TVS1jbzlOQzQ/edit)

A bursary of up to AU$2000 each for 3 separate events is available in 2013, with further events to be funded in the first half of 2014.

The purpose of the Intermezzo is to generate and maintain collegiality- so, if you have a network of colleagues and would like to host an event to discuss and further a project, initiative or similar, we encourage you to forward an expression of interest.

Expressions of Interest using the form contained in the ‘Intermezzo Structure and Guidelines’ document should be sent to the President of the CSAA, Andrew Hickey (Andrew.Hickey at usq.edu.au<mailto:Andrew.Hickey at usq.edu.au>) by CoB 16th August 2013.

Andrew
