Call for Papers

The aim of the conference is to bring together European, Australian, and New Zealand scholars and to provide a venue for exchanging views, ideas and research findings on Australian and New Zealand cultures and societies. We invite scholars representing multiple disciplines (history, sociology, Indigenous studies, anthropology, cultural studies, literary studies, law, political science, linguistics and other) to share their research and pedagogies; and Australian and New Zealand writers and artists to share their work.

Inspired by the enthusiasm and scholarship of the students of our Faculty’s “Australia and New Zealand” MA Program, we would also like to encourage BA and MA students to submit their proposals as student sessions are planned during the conference.

Confirmed Keynote Speaker: Prof. Ryszard Wolny, Head of the Institute of English, Opole University, Poland (http://www.ryszardwolny.pl).

The language of the conference is English.

A post-conference publication of selected papers in Studia Anglica Posnaniesia, an international peer-reviewed journal is planned.
