[csaa-forum] Reading Memoir Symposium

[Anna Poletti]

*Reading Memoir Symposium*



Centre for the Book, Monash University

Monday 20 April

9.30am-2.00pm



This one-day symposium brings together leading scholars from Australia,
England and Canada to consider current and future ways of researching how
readers engage with memoir. Examining memoir through the lens of reader
research, print culture research, literary criticism and life writing
studies, the symposium considers how readers use memoir, what current
trends in memoir publishing tell us about the social and political work of
life writing, and the challenges associated with seeking to understand how
memoir circulates and is read.



Speakers include: Professor Julie Rak (Alberta), Dr Danielle Fuller
(Birmingham) and Professor DeNel Rehberg Sedo (Mount Saint Vincent), Dr
Beth Driscoll (Melbourne), Associate Professor Kate Douglas (Flinders), and
Dr Melinda Harvey (Monash).



To register your interest in attending, please email Anna Poletti
(Anna.Poletti[at]monash.edu) by Friday 10 April.
