In addition to Trish and myself, the other members of the Unit Management Committee will be taking responsibility for aspects of conference planning. Trish Dutton works on Australian, and particularly Aboriginal material, and has a particular interest in Jungian approaches to life-writing. We may shortly add another member to the Committee. If we do, I'll let you know. We are hoping to have as many as four keynote speakers from abroad, and two from within Australia.
Negotiations are well advanced in most instances.
As soon as they're concluded we'll let you know. One session of the conference will be devoted to Australian content, specifically to the 'Stolen Generation' of Australian aborigines and their narratives. We'll keep the information coming, so stay tuned. Hope you can make it - and please spread the word.
