The English, Media Studies & Art History Postgraduate Society
(EMAPS) at the University of Queensland, calls for papers
which are a part of the new popular prefixing that represent
part of the current tendency to go beyond traditional classifications.
Participants are invited to address any of the 'prefixed' academic categories from either a theoretical, critical, or creative perspective from any of - but not restricted to - the analogous areas to English, Media and Cultural Studies and Art History.
The conference will provide participating scholars and creative writers an invaluable opportunity to develop academic and social networks with other postgraduate students and academics from across Australia and around the world through two days of intellectual exchange.
Please send a 200 to 300-word abstract as well as a 50-word bio to our conference organisers at wipconf@uq.edu.au by Friday 19 May.
