For the first time, the International Association of Australian Studies conference will take place in Western Australia (WA), following on the zeitgeist of
<i>Griffith Review’s</i> ‘Looking West’ (2014), the end of the mining boom and vigorous national protests against the closure of remote Aboriginal communities based on a racial and cultural politics of ‘lifestyle’ that bear the hallmarks of European Enlightenment
triumph. </p>

WA offers a rich context to explore the creative, cultural and critical dynamics of Australian society. Its proximity to the Indian Ocean, to Indonesia, Southeast Asia, India, China and Africa make WA an ideal place from which to look at Australia, as well
as a place to understand how others see it.<br>

Under the theme of ‘Re-imagining Australia: Encounter, Recognition, Responsibility,’ the conference will offer the opportunity of addressing the intensification of overlapping, interpenetrating and mixing of cultures and peoples in everyday life in Australia
– and how its public culture has become increasingly re-imagined through intense conversations and inter-epistemic dialogue. The conference will showcase contemporary research and creativity in understanding Australia through interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary
approaches.</p>

Perched on the Indian Ocean's shore, the Western Australian Maritime Museum is symbolic of Fremantle’s past, present and future as a coastal city and port. The Museum houses several unique galleries that explore WA's relationship with the sea. From leisure
boats and handcrafted sailing boats to commercial pearl luggers, the Museum inspires visitors to discover WA’s affinity with the ocean.</p>
