Where State Library of New South Wales, Sydney
Deadline: September 26, 2008
URL: http://www.auslib.com.au/pdfs/Callforpapers2009.pdf
Most developed countries have ageing populations and people who are living longer. What are the implications and opportunities for public libraries? This fourth annual Auslib conference will help public libraries in Australia and New Zealand to plan inclusive strategies to identify and meet the needs of older adults. Next Chapters will have international, New Zealand and Australian speakers, panel sessions, targeted recommendations to governments, and full published proceedings. Its aims are to
• Identify who are today’s older adults, where they are, what they want, how you can give them what they want, and how you can tell them that you have what they want.
• Increase the awareness of public librarians and others about public library initiatives for older adults now occurring internationally and in Australia and New Zealand.
• Increase political awareness of the unique scope and return on investment in public libraries.

CFP: Moving Cultures, Shifting Identities: a conference about migration, connection, heritage and cultural memory
CFP: Moving Cultures, Shifting Identities: a conference about migration, connection, heritage and cultural memory.
Location: Australia
Call for Papers Date: March 12, 2007
Flinders University, Adelaide, South Australia
3-5 December 2007
Visit the website at http://fhrc.flinders.edu.au/events/movingcultures.html
This conference will examine issues of migration, transnational connection, displacement heritage, global space and cultural memory created by the movements of peoples between cultures in the modern world.
In the mass migrations of the last 200 years, millions of people have left their homelands and home cultures to settle in new places. Their motives have been many: the emigrant’s search for new opportunities, the gastarbeiter’s self-imposed exile, the refugee’s forced flight and the settler’s quest for trade, military advantage or fresh fields and pastures new have all shaped the great migrations of the modern period.
Moving Cultures, Shifting Identities will explore the cultural connections between homelands and new lands, and the complexities of reshaping cultural identities and shifting allegiances between cultures of departure and cultures of arrival.
The conference will have three main streams:
The public policy stream will cover issues of economics, population, forced migration, security, ‘core values’, education and the managing of cultural impacts of migration.
The history of migration stream will include sessions on pre- and post-World War Two migration, recent arrivals and diasporic communities.
The cultural migration stream will include sessions on memory, writing, language, cultural maintenance and sustainability, and the plurality of migrant identities.
Papers are invited on the following topics:
• The demographics of people flow: who moves where? and why?
• Forced migration in the Asia Pacific
• Cultural, political and economic factors shaping migration. How are connections made?
• Bordering the nation: migration and national security
• Transnationalism, citizenship and sovereignty
• Gender and generational issues in the migration experience
• Linguistics, diaspora and migration
• Settling down, settlement patterns and return migration
• Can multi-cultures and multi-ethnicities produce one nation?
• Multiculturalism
• Language maintenance in the new culture
• Foodways
• Migration, place and situated identities
• Connections with the new place and (re)negotiating with the old
• Home and Away: What is transferred from the home culture to the new culture? What cannot fit in the baggage?
• Imaginary homelands: life-writing, creative writing and film responses to the migration experience
• Unsettlement: the idea of the settler colony
• Cultural memory: heritage and exchange
• Transplanted cultures as tourist attractions
• Fusion, ‘cultural hybridity’, cosmopolitanism …
