A chance for a visit to the antipodes - escape the winter and come to Sydney. CALL F0R PAPERS ANZAMEMS 2000 CONSTRUCTING IDENTITY: REPUBLICS NATIONS AND CULTURES Second Colloquium of the Australian and New Zealand Association for Medieval and Early Modern Studies University of Sydney 1-4 February 2000 The Australian and New Zealand Association for Medieval and Early Modern Studies, formed in 1997 through the amalgamation of the Australian and New Zealand Association for Medieval and Renaissance Studies and the Australasian Historians of Medieval and Early Modern Europe, will hold its second biennial conference at the University of Sydney, Australia, Tuesday to Friday, 1-4 February 2000. The conference will be held in air-conditioned venues on campus, overlooking Victoria Park. Accommodation has been reserved in Sancta Sophia College, and there are numerous hotels in the immediate vicinity. Expressions of interest are sought from scholars in all fields of medieval and early modern studies, and at all stages of their careers. Proposals for papers and for sessions are invited, as well as more general enquiries. In the year 2000, the University of Sydney, Australia's first University, will celebrate its sesquicentenary, the city of Sydney will be preparing for the Olympic Games in September, and the nation will be preparing for the centenary of Federation on 1 January 2001. While no theme is set for the conference as a whole, the Organising Committee expects that some sessions will be organised around issues that relate to these events and the broad question of Constructing Identity: Republics, Nations and Cultures.
