Redefining Australia and New Zealand: Insularity, Solidarity, Disunity?
The 3rd Biennial International Conference of the Polish Association for the Study of Australia and New Zealand would like to explore the impact of global, regional and local forces on Australia and New Zealand and their societies, policies, identities, cultures, and geopolitical positions, as well as the ensuing results of such influences which may have taken and may take the form of national and transnational conflicts and disunities, solidarities among societies or individuals, national egoisms, particularisms, or self-interests.

Gender and Queer Identities in Australian Speculative Fiction
This guest-edited issue of Gender Forum aims to account for Australian Speculative Fiction at its intersection with gender and queer studies, which we consider a particularly fruitful approach because gender and sexual identity seem to be frequent concerns of many writers of Australian Speculative Fiction. The prominence of female writers of Australian fantasy, for example, has been noted by scholars and fans alike, but there are a variety of other ways in which Australian Speculative Fiction can be approached through a lens of gender and queer studies.
Deadline 31 August 2021
(Un)belonging: In Search of New Representations, Negotiations, Entanglements
The Australian Studies Symposium will be held from 19-21 November 2021. Fully online, smaller in size and without parallel sessions, its aim will be to promote a thread of discussions and conversations about ideas of (un) belonging. Keynote speeches delivered by the Wirlomin Noongar writer Claire G. Coleman and scholars Christine Nicholls (ANU) and Emily Potter (Deakin University) will be complemented by regular papers and a discussion forum.
