<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">This year's InASA 2016 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 and experience has become increasingly re-imagined through intense conversations and inter-epistemic dialogue. Within this conversation there is a compelling need to acknowledge the divisive and violent
effects of securitisation, xenophobia, racism, Islamophobia, misogyny, ablism, homophobia among other things.</font></div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif"> </font></div>
<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><font face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">The purpose of this conference is to understand, document, invoke, listen to, learn about and enquire into the conversations, discussions, histories, stories and
creative production that have happened and are happening that help or hinder a re-imagining of Australia, one that is conscious of the limitations, paradoxes, possibilities and nuances of culture and therefore framed through questions of cultural encounter,
social and political recognition and responsibility. </font></div>

and artistic.</font></div>
