Masterclass: Literary and Critical Regionalisms

The Roderick Centre for Australian Literature and Creative Writing invites you to attend a free masterclass organised for HDR students and faculty whose research, teaching, or HDR supervision may be enriched by it.

Those of you advising or recruiting PhD students with interests in literature, regions, Australian studies, and/or Indigenous perspectives, or who may be engaged in teaching writing or creative-practice research, especially in creative writing, will find this event invaluable. Please note we are planning to record the masterclass for viewing at a later date as a teaching resource.

While a separate invite has been sent to HDRs with details of coursework credit, we warmly encourage you to forward to any students, potential students, or staff who may benefit from attending.
