Call for papers: Abstract submission
The call for papers for our 2025 conference, Edges, Borders, Margins, and Peripheries, is now open. We encourage submissions of abstracts of no more than 250 words for individual papers, panels, and group sessions that engage with our theme; however, unrelated submissions are also welcome.
ASAA/NZ 2025 plans to offer in person panels and virtual panels, but we do not have the technological infrastructure to offer hybrid panels (e.g. panels with a mix of in person and virtual presentations). If you are organising a panel, please let us know whether you would like it to be in person or online. If you are submitting a paper abstract, please indicate whether you will present in person at the conference or online during a virtual panel.
In addition to standard paper presentation panels and sessions, we also would like to encourage a range of innovative modalities such as:
Music, film, and multimedia
Talanoa, tok stori
Dialogic, conversational, or interview sessions
Poetry, ethnographic fiction
Games and role-playing
Multisensory, embodied, and practical engagements
Art and sculpture
The deadline for abstracts is 31 May 2025.
Notification of abstract acceptance: 30 June 2025.
