Readings Creative Writing teachers and students stage readings and performances throughout the year, sometimes in conjunction with the Student Union or English Club, and occasional readings from guest writers. In these seminars, speakers from overseas, interstate, other campuses or departments, or English Department staff or students present a research paper, followed by drinks and discussion.
Students are most welcome to attend, and to offer papers or suggest visiting speakers.
Seminars Postgraduate students organise their own seminar series in addition to the Department's Wednesday afternoon series. This group meets on Friday afternoons and often includes discussion of general postgraduate matters in its agenda as well as the presentation and discussion of research papers by postgraduates. Details of the seminar program are circulated weekly by email from the General Office, and attendance is both free and open. AntiThesis Antithesis is Australia's longest-running postgraduate interdisciplinary journal of contemporary theory, criticism and culture. It is sponsored by the English Department, but produced entirely by postgraduates.
