European Association for Studies of Australia | ONLINE SYMPOSIUM
How can humanists, philologists, historians and other Australian Studies scholars, make sense of their work in a world of profit-driven higher education? If the purpose of our work is to cultivate intellectual growth and critical thinking by engaging with culture beyond mass consumption and social media feeds, how are we to continue to contribute to slow reading, critical thinking, and social changes both inside and beyond our classrooms?
This two-day online symposium is designed to foster cooperative discussions among Australian Studies scholars in Europe, Australia, North America and the Global South.
