Deadline: 15 October 2010
This is a reminder that the 2011 ASAL mini-conference, being planned by the Westerly Centre, will be held at UWA on February 17 and 18th, 2011. It will open on Thursday night with a keynote address by Professor Shirley Geok-Lin Lim at 5 pm on February 17, followed by poetry readings from prominent poets, and concluding with a courtyard party. On Friday, four sessions will run from 9.30 am to 5.30 pm. They will be broadly devoted to the issues the Symposium is addressing:
* Australia and Asia
* Creative Writing teaching and practice
* Australian Literature
* Poetry and Poetics
We urge you all to send us before of by 15th October, 2010, your ideas for short papers, commentaries, panel sessions (which may or may not refer to Dennis Haskell’s work, which the Symposium is honouring) for this event. This will enable us to plan the programme for the Symposium. We will not hold parallel sessions, so contributions will need to be brisk and we hope will be lively and inclusive.
We look forward to your timely response to this call for contributions to this event. We also look forward to welcoming all those friends and colleagues of Dennis’s who wish to join us in this celebration.
