Call for Papers - Conference Call for Papers open for the International Conference of the German Association for Australian Studies
It’s Time! Australia and the World at the Crossroads
Organized by the German Association for Australian Studies (GASt) and hosted by the Heidelberg Centre for Transcultural Studies (HCTS), the 19th international GASt conference explores political, cultural, and ecological crossroads in Australia and beyond — 50 years after the landmark Whitlam era.
Under the theme "It’s Time!", the conference will focus on:
- Voices: Indigenous representation, intersectionality & national narratives
- Places: Land, ecology, and contested geographies
- Temporalities: Deep Time, reconciliation, and coexisting histories
A final Roundtable “Zeitgeist” will address climate justice, social equity, and Australia’s global role.
The conference will take place from October 9 to 12, 2025, in a hybrid format. It is sponsored by the DFG (German Research Foundation), and organized by Susann Liebich (Heidelberg), Geoffrey Rodoreda (Stuttgart), and Carsten Wergin (Heidelberg).
