<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family:'Avenir Book'">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.</span></p>
