CSAA 2008 NATIONAL CONFERENCE
‘FUTURES’
Kalgoorlie, Western Australia
Sat 6th- Tuesday 9th December

Cultural studies has historically concerned itself with the cultural practices of the everyday and the now. However, as a politically motivated discipline, cultural studies has an ongoing preoccupation with cultural, economic, and political change, and thus with futures. The 2008 Cultural Studies Association of Australasia National Conference will interrogate possible and impossible local, national, regional, and global futures.
