International Chair

Craig Norris from U Tas has agreed to be our international chair!!! He's on study leave at the moment and I'm envious!

AREA CHAIR Update

We have had quite a few international popular culture papers...anyone interested in taking this area on???

Also we need an area chair for internet--three interesting papers in that panel too.

Finally, because some folks have sent me abstracts AND abstracts to area chairs there could be some doubling in the programme--ie someone sent me an abstract and I've allocated them to FILM rather than say ROMANCE which they really wanted. I'm working hard to get a list of abstracts/delegates done. Will send this out by 21st December.

Can everyone PLEASE send me their panels and panel members asap (some of you already have)

Cheers
T

Conference Website

Our website is up and running http://www.library.uq.edu.au/ipswich/popcaanz/ but it's always under construction :)

If anyone sees any errors please let me know.

Draft programme will be up end of January!!

Cheers

Conference Update

Well folks,

We've had a flurry of late abstracts and so we're going to be delaying sending out formal acceptances for a wee while. If you need one for grant applications please contact your AREA CHAIR asap.


Good news = seems we have a full house.

Cheers
