Realism on Country Conference
RSVP now to attend the Realism on Country conference at the University of Wollongong, 22-23 May 2025!
Realist writing in Australian fiction, and its relation to place and Country – in the Indigenous sense of an interconnected relation with place – is understudied. Join us on Wadi Wadi Country for energising discussions with leading writer/scholars about writing realism, non-Indigenous writing on Indigenous land, and who gets to define
what is ‘real’.
The Keynote Panel will feature Evelyn Araluen, Luke Patterson, and Jeanine Leane.
Other sessions include presentations by: Tony Hughes-d’Aeth (UWA) Jonathan Dunk (Deakin) Micaela Sahhar (RMIT) Julia Prendergast (Swin) Roger Osborne (JCU) Nicole Moore (UNSW) Shady Cosgrove (UOW) Julieanne Lamond (ANU) Michael Griffiths (UOW) Evelyn Araluen (UniMelb), and Julienne van Loon (UniMelb); as well as readings from the ‘Countrying Story, Storying Country’ project.
