ANU Asia and Pacific Cultural Studies Network

An ANU Asia and Pacific Cultural Studies Network is in the process of
being established.  The network has emerged from conversations amongst
scholars in the College of Arts and Social Sciences and the College of
Asia and the Pacific who draw on the critical methods of cultural
studies to understand the rapidly changing forms of contemporary
cultures across the region.  These methods - including
poststructuralism, postcolonialism, globalisation studies,
transnationalist approaches, and queer studies - provide platforms for
understanding the diversity and interconnectivity of Australian, Asian,
and Pacific cultures and histories with each other and with the rest of
the world.  These and many other contemporary issues cross national
boundaries, and do not fit neatly within single-country approaches. At
the same time, the new critical methods used in this research often
cross the boundaries of established disciplines in the humanities and
social sciences.
The objective of the network is to provide a cross-college forum for
scholars and graduate students interested in critical transnational
approaches to research on Australia, Asia, and the Pacific.  
A seminar launching the network will be held in the McDonald Room of the
Menzies Library from 3-5 pm on Thursday 10 April.  A regular seminar
series will also begin later in April.  More information on these events
will be circulated soon.
At the moment, we are collating information on Asian and Pacific
Cultural Studies research and teaching across all colleges of the
university as a prelude to establishing a network website.
If you would like to know more about plans for the network or have
information about your research or teaching included on the planned
website please contact the network convenor for your college:
