‘Australian Studies in the 21st Century: Human and More-Than-Human Worlds’
Macquarie University, 5-7 February 2025
Australian Studies has long been concerned with histories and stories about human experiences focusing on issues of settler colonisation, conflict, violence, resistance, resilience, agency, and justice. The 2025 biennial conference of the International Australian Studies Association (InASA) continues to focus on these vital issues but turns also to consider Australians’ formation by, and engagement with, the more-than-human world. This conference aims to foster interdisciplinary and cross-cultural dialogues on Critical Indigenous Studies, history, literature, culture, creative arts, politics, media, sociology, anthropology, geography, ecology, and other disciplines that engage with human experiences and/or more-than-human worlds. We welcome proposals for individual papers, 3 member panels, or 4-5 member roundtables for plenary sessions, that engage with the conference theme from diverse disciplines, perspectives, and methodologies. We particularly encourage submissions that prioritise Indigenous voices.Â
