<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;line-height:105%">Now more than ever ‘culture’ is a contested site of exclusion and possibility. The present realities of climate crisis, increasing inequality, multiplying communities of hate, in
addition to growing geo-political insecurity demand cultural as well as political, social, and economic responses. This year's CSAA annual conference seeks to explore how we can create an open and inclusive cultural space for collaboration in a country like
Australia where sovereignty of the First Nations peoples has never been ceded. How do we de-colonise culture? How do we re-create it?
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;line-height:105%">Cultural studies aims for inclusivity. During this face-to-face gathering, we are keen to explore how cultural studies and allied disciplinary fields might examine the potential
of culture in practice to shed new light on local and global problems. How can we create an open and inclusive cultural space when Indigenous scholars remain few in a ‘white’ academy, where precarity and job insecurity remain endemic, where the lingua franca
remains English and where discourses and practices continue to push to the margins cultural ideas, practices and ontologies that challenge various forms of normativity? We invite you to re-imagine with us how cultural studies concepts and activities can work
pragmatically, that is, tailored to the contours of these issues.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;line-height:105%">We welcome First Nations scholars and scholars from diverse and subaltern groups, as well as HDR and ECR participation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" align="center" style="text-align:center;line-height:105%">While the conference will be configured largely around a traditional presentation format, we welcome the chance to explore the possibility of including other formats (including but
not limited to the presentation of NTROs) with potential conference contributors.
