The Chinese Studies Association of Australia |
|
The Chinese Studies Association of Australia [CSAA] is the professional association for China specialists and post-graduate students in Australia (incorporated under the ACT Associations Incorporations Act 1991). Its membership includes most of the specialists in the fields of anthropology, economics, geography, history, language, law, linguistics, political science, sociology, literature and other aspects of Chinese society and culture. To inform its membership about what is occurring in the Chinese studies community throughout Australia, it regularly publishes the Chinese Studies Newsletter, containing information about on-going research, new publications, new appointments, forthcoming conferences and workshops, and a campus round-up.
The CSAA also convenes a major biennial conference, containing dozens of panels of papers and drawing a large number of participants both from Australia and abroad. The most recent national conference was hosted by Sydney University in 2009. The next conference is scheduled to be held in Canberra in July 2011.
The CSAA liaises with government departments and other appropriate official bodies at Commonwealth and State levels regarding the teaching of the Chinese language and culture in primary and secondary schools and universities and other issues relevant to the field of Chinese Studies, such as research funding. The Association works to ensure that it has a significant input on all important matters relating to Chinese Studies in Australia. |
