The American Association of Australian Literary Studies (AAALS) invites paper proposals for its 2010 Annual Conference, to be held in Washington, DC, February 25-27, 2010, in conjunction with ANZSANA (Australian and New Zealand Studies Association of North America). Papers addressing any aspect of Australian, New Zealand and South Pacific literary, film and cultural studies are welcome. Given the recent publication of The Macquarie PEN Anthology of Australian Literature (published in the United States by Norton as The Literature of Australia: An Anthology) and The Cambridge History of Australian Literature, papers addressing the theme “A New Moment in Australian Studies” are particularly welcome.

Presentations should be 20 minutes long. Please send 250-word proposals by 1 December 2009, to Nathanael O’Reilly (nathanael_oreilly@uttyler.edu). Email submissions are preferred. Please label the subject line clearly.
