Conference description:

The Australian Critical Race and Whiteness Studies Association (ACRAWSA) is the only Australian association which brings together a community of scholars and activists who employ critical race theory dedicated to furthering the aim of Aboriginal sovereignty.
ACRAWSA was founded after the Critical Contexts and Crucial Conversations: Whiteness and Race symposium in 2002 convened by Distinguished Professor Aileen Moreton-Robinson.

Since 2017, ACRAWSA has taken a new turn, re-establishing our peer-reviewed journal, and instigating a blog with articles, reviews and comments on a range of topics by scholars, both more senior and those starting out on their academic venture.

At the start of a new decade, the association is again evaluating the role it can play in an era of mounting white supremacism, racial violence, and racial capitalist crisis and associated rapid environmental degradation. How should critical race scholars intervene? What is our role, not only in these large-scale struggles, but also within our institutions and organisations, to ensure that the core aim of giving voice to scholarship that centres Aboriginal knowledges and sovereign demands is met?

The conference is organised around three broad themes:

RACIAL SILENCES: THE STATE OF THE ART
What are the key areas in which race and racial-colonial logics have been silenced in public and scholarly discourse? How has critical race scholarship in Australia been trying to increase racial literacy, and what still needs to be done?
RACIAL LITERACIES (multiple parallel sessions)
There are initiatives in research, teaching, writing, activism, performance, media and art that support and build racial literacies. Papers addressing the theme of racial literacies could be motivated by questions such as, how do we make the working of race apparent in these various spaces? What are the risks and dangers of doing so? How do we create communities of solidarity to assist us in doing so that go beyond the academy?
OUR COMMON FUTURE: A YARNING SESSION
Facilitated by the ACRAWSA committee, this session will seek feedback and input into a collective vision for the future of the association that includes decolonial models and new leaders.  We will be discussing research conducted into teaching and research on race in Australia and issues such as the location of non-Indigenous CRT scholars outside and within Critical Race and Whiteness, and Critical Indigenous studies. What should solidarity and coalition-building look like for our times?
