range of speakers included here I'm sure you'll share my delight that
Professor Marcia Langton and Assoc. Prof. Ghassan Hage have accepted their
invitations. It's hard to believe but Australia-New Zealand is currently a
'small enrolment' group within the International Association for Cultural
Studies which does little justice to the history of cultural
studies in our region or the amount of work currently being done in its name. I
would urge as many people as can make it to Istanbul next year to consider
attending as it promises to be an important event in the developing
international context for our research. Suggestions for panel sessions and
individual papers are welcome; t</SPAN></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN

31. Further details are on the website.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
