<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>Dear CSAA,<BR>
<BR>
I will be announcing the new CSAA postgraduate representative early next <BR>
week, following an executive vote on Thursday.<BR>
<BR>
The following is a formal call for expressions of interest for the following <BR>
position on the CSAA executive:<BR>
<BR>
<B>South Australia Representative<BR>
</B><BR>
If you are interested in this position, please send a short statement (up to <BR>
250 words) to <FONT COLOR="#0000FF"><U>paul.magee@canberra.edu.au</U></FONT> describing: i) your current <BR>
position / enrolment / relation to the university, ii) your research <BR>
interests, and iii) where you would like to see the Cultural Studies <BR>
community heading.<BR>
<BR>
Expressions of interest need to be received by Monday 6th of August 2007 <BR>
(one fortnight away). The current CSAA executive will elect the <BR>
representative in the ensuing weeks.<BR>
<BR>
NB The duties of representatives are not particularly onerous. By the same <BR>
token, they involve having considerable say in the running of the <BR>
association and the setting of its policy agendas. Formally, the duties are:<BR>
