The 2021 literary studies convention will bring together four of the major literary studies associations in the country for five days of keynotes, presentations and workshops, enabling scholars, students, teachers and the broader public to encounter the breadth of research happening in literary studies in Australia today. The convention is also a key forum for discussing the state and future of the discipline of literary studies in Australia. We seek proposals for papers which address questions across a broad range of textual disciplines and practices from literary, historical, and cultural studies as well as languages, linguistics, and semiotics.

The 2021 Literary Studies Convention will be a fully digital event. Please click above to be redirected to the updated site, where you can find details of all sessions.
