ANU Asian and Pacific Cultural Studies Network (APCSN)
The Australian National University, Canberra, Australia.
Supplied note: "The ANU Asian and Pacific Cultural Studies Network [to be launched 10 Apr 2008 - ed.] has emerged from conversations amongst scholars in the College of Arts and Social Sciences [CASS - ed.] and the College of Asia and the Pacific [CAP - ed.] 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 of Australian, Asian, and Pacific cultures and histories, and their interconnectivity with each other and 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 network will provide a cross-college forum for scholars and graduate students interested in critical and transnational approaches to research on Australia, Asia, and the Pacific. Full information about the APCSN, including membership, upcoming events and initiatives, can be found at [the URL below]. Convenors: Jacquie Lo (CASS) and Peter Jackson (CAP). - kh."
