Here are the latest Australian Studies related calls for papers
Deadline 30 June 2025
19th International Conference of the German Association for Australian Studies / Gesellschaft für Australienstudien (GASt): “It’s Time! Australia and the World at the Crossroads”
It was 50 years ago that Gough Whitlam – leader of arguably Australia’s most reformist government to date – was sacked by the Governor-General. Labor’s campaign slogan for its election victory in 1972 was “It’s Time!” With this rallying call, Whitlam convinced voters to approve a radical agenda for effective, wide-ranging political, economic, social and cultural change. Under the theme “It’s Time! Australia and the World at the Crossroads,” the 19th conference of the German Association for Australian Studies will examine ideas of reform in the context of political, social, economic, ecological and cultural transformations facing Australia today. The conference will do so in interdisciplinary discussion across the fields of cultural studies, history, political science, geography, literary and film studies, linguistics, anthropology and ecology, to address challenges related to climate change, Indigenous rights, geopolitics, cultural transformation and more. Please submit your Abstract (ca. 250-300 words) and a Bio Note (ca. 100 words) by 30 June 2025 to the following email address: GASt2025[at]australienstudien.org
Deadline 25 July 2025
