The humanities are currently presented with a rare combination of intellectual Professor Tony Bennett FAHA challenges such as changing policy environments; the financial crisis; new technologies and infrastructures; and the environmental challenges presented by the conception of the anthropocene. The Symposium will debate these challenges and the responses that these have elicited, including the increasingly prominent role of Indigenous perspectives.

As part of its international research collaboration, CHE will fund excellent international Early Career Researchers in the field to visit one or more of the Australian nodes for a period of two months, to work with members of the Centre on a research program of their choice.
Since the object of the Early Career International Research Fellowships is primarily to promote collaborative research, the Fellows will not be required to undertake any undergraduate teaching, but will be required to deliver at least one paper or lecture.
The Fellow will be provided with a return airfare from their home to Australia, accommodation and a daily living allowance for their stay in Australia, and travel between Australian nodes of the Centre.
Intending applicants are eligible to apply if they:
1. Hold a doctorate in a relevant field of study, gained in the period 2004-2012.
2. Are based at a university outside Australia (note: this includes Australian citizens currently working at universities outside Australia).
CHE is now issuing a call for applications for Early Career International Research Fellowships, to be taken over the period 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2014. Applicants should provide:
1. An up-to-date academic CV of no more than 6-pages. Note: applicants’ research track records will be judged strictly relative to opportunity.

A description, no longer than one A4 page, of the proposed research to be undertaken during the Fellowship, including a statement of how the research relates to the Centre’s overall research into the history of emotions in Europe 1100-1800, and the proposed outcomes of the research (e.g. draft of an article, perhaps jointly authored with one or more CHE member(s), development of further research interchange and collaboration activities, and so on). It is expected that CHE support would be acknowledged in any publication deriving from the Fellowship.
3. The name(s) of CHE staff with whom the applicant wishes to collaborate, the preferred dates of the fellowship, and the preferred ‘home’ university for the duration of the visit.

[from Penny Gay]
Dear members and friends of ANZSA,
Some of you will have heard of the death on 25th June of longstanding ANZSA member A/Prof Richard Madelaine of the School of English, UNSW. He had been unwell for many years, but managed with his typical quiet stoicism to continue teaching and writing until a couple of months before his death.
I attended his funeral service last Friday, at which his wife Louise spoke most movingly of Richard’s life and career: his devotion to teaching (he was the recipient of three excellence in teaching awards) and his internationally-recognised scholarship. Anyone working on Antony and Cleopatra will be not only enlightened but frequently delighted by his lively commentary on the play’s staging history, as recorded in his edition for the Shakespeare in Production series (Cambridge University Press, 1998). He was also joint editor, with John Golder, of ‘O Brave New World’: Two Centuries of Shakespeare on the Australian Stage (Currency Press, 2001), and joint general editor of the Bell Shakespeare series. His contributions to the conversation about Shakespeare in Australia and on the world stage offer many valuable and enduring insights.
Richard was a co-convenor of the 1996 ANZSA conference held at UNSW. He regularly attended ANZSA conferences where he gave papers on staging issues and textual cruxes in Shakespeare. He also gave a very well-received paper on Hamlet as crime fiction at the WSC in Prague last July. I was privileged during that week to join him and Louise at a performance of his much-loved Mozart Requiem in the church of St Nicholas on the Old Town Square.
At the General Meeting of members during the forthcoming ANZSA Conference in Perth (27-30 November 2012), I will bring forward proposals for a fitting memorial to Richard. I hope to see many of you at the conference.
Best wishes,
Penny Gay
President, ANZSA

University of Otago
Colloquium: Practical Knowledges and Skill in Early Modern England

and
Postgraduate Workshop: Interdisciplinarity in Medieval and Early Modern Research
29-30 August 2012
NB. Bursaries are available for early career staff as well as postgrads: Bursary Application
Colloquium
The University of Otago’s Early Modern Thought Research Theme will be holding a two-day colloquium on “Practical Knowledges and Skill in Early Modern England.” The first day will be devoted to natural philosophy, science, and religion, and the second day to theatre and performance. Speaking at the colloquium will be Peter Marshall (Warwick), Peter Harrison (Queensland), Sorana Corneanu (Bucharest), Paul Menzer (Mary Baldwin College), John Sutton (Macquarie), Michael Neill (Auckland), David Carnegie (Victoria), and Lyn Tribble (Otago).
Postgraduate Workshop
Most research in medieval and early modern studies involves interdisciplinary work. Whether it be historians working with philosophers, scholars of literature working with classicists or some other combination, research in these fields often requires one to collaborate with and learn skills from scholars in cognate disciplines. This workshop will bring together leading scholars with extensive skills in interdisciplinary research in order to share their skills and experience with postgraduate students and early career researchers.
The Early Modern Thought Research Theme will be running the workshop in conjunction with ANZAMEMS. Bursaries are available for postgraduates and for early career researchers. Facilitating the workshop will be Peter Marshall (Warwick), Peter Harrison (Queensland), Stephen Clucas (Birkbeck College), and John Sutton (Macquarie).
