Dear all,

The famous Thursday Lunchtime Seminars are back in 2018. They run from 1-2pm every Thursday during teaching weeks (19 Feb-15 March and 16 April-25 May). Speakers are invited to present work in progress, rather than finished material, for collegial but robust questioning, feedback, suggestions and discussion. Presentations are welcome from any area of literary and cultural studies, including gender studies, film and popular culture.

To book your spot, please send an email to russell.smith@anu.edu.au with the proposed title of your paper, along with two or three preferred presentation dates. I plan to finalise the program by the end of January. Act now to avoid disappointment! Please also pass this invitation on to colleagues at other institutions, visiting scholars, and especially graduate students.

Best wishes,

Russell Smith
