<div style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><font face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">Australian fans have access to a wide array of popular culture content from around the world, developing relationships with these products that are as rich as fans from
other parts of the globe. Until recently access to media products is limited by temporal and spatial distance from countries of origin. Yet, at the same time practices from diaspora communities to preserve cultural identity introduces a multitude of global
media content to a wider Australian audience. Australian fans thus engage with a mixture of ‘conventional’ and ‘niche’ media products that places them both within the margins and in the mainstream. While there may be parallels between Australia and other
nations with multicultural communities, the geographical location, history and cultural mix of Australian society give rise to unique contexts shaping the consumption and practices of Australian fans.

<div style="margin-top:0; margin-bottom:0"><font face="Calibri,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">We thus ask the question: What makes the Australian fan experience unique? What influence does geo-political location have on the consumption and appropriation of popular
culture in the Australian context? What impact does Australian multicultural society have on exposure and access to popular culture? What drives Australian fan interaction with global popular culture, and how does this interaction intersect with narratives
of ‘Australian-ness’ in local and globalised contexts?</font></div>
