PAHN Working group joining this year’s ASDA Conference – call for papers.
This year’s Australasian Association for Theatre, Drama and Performance Studies conference is in Adelaide and PAHN are participating with a working group.
The Call for Papers is now open on the theme ‘Archives, Artists & Absences’. We welcome proposals from artists and scholars at all career stages.
The PAHN Working Group will meet and share 20-minute work-in-progress papers, with a particular focus on the intersection of history and heritage, in any material, format, genre, or level of society. Proposals should also reflect some engagement with the nature of collection(s), in line with the wider ADSA Conference call.
More information on the working groups at the ADSA site, and more information on the ADSA call for papers here.
Hope to see you there! All are welcome.
