AAANZ Conference UPDATE

August 8, 2021AAANZ Conference

The Conference Conveners, Donna Brett and Mark Ledbury, together with the AAANZ Executive, have reluctantly concluded that the 2021 AAANZ conference will now take place fully online, rather than as an in-person event.

The news over the past week suggests that these are almost certain to continue in some form until late in the year, creating risk and uncertainty for both us as organisers, and you as attendees. Moreover, on Friday, the University of […]

Call For Proposals: edited collection on museums and intersectionality

July 15, 2021NewsCall for Papers

It has been more than three decades since Kimberlé Crenshaw coined the term ‘intersectionality’ as a conceptual tool with which to conceive subjectivity/identity as other than singular, and analyse the contextually-specific ways in which axes of power connect and cohere. The notion of intersectionality was also an attempt to move beyond the limitations of the ‘additive model’ which categorised individuals in terms of levels of oppression: for example, a working-class Blak lesbian with a disability would be understood as quadruply oppressed. While this model of identity had significant political import, it did not, and could not, grapple with the complex, […]
