The University of Adelaide and Flinders University are delighted to announce that they are hosting the Australia and New Zealand American Studies Conference in 2010. ANZASA brings together scholars from Australia and New Zealand with colleagues who specialise in American Studies from around the world for a major conference held every two years. Papers on American Studies topics from a broad range of disciplines (e.g. History, Politics, Literary Studies, Film Studies, Law, etc.) are invited. Postgraduate students, as well as senior scholars, are warmly encouraged to submit proposals.
There are two kinds of proposals:
