National Conference 2012

& Call for Papers

Our Second National Conference will be held in Melbourne over the 18-19 August 2012 weekend at:
Victoria University Melbourne City Campus
300 Flinders Street Melbourne

Theme: Moving On!

At its inaugural conference in April 2011, Finding the Chinese Australian Voice, a resolution was carried binding the National Executive “to look into the Lambing Flat incidents and discriminatory policies against the Chinese, with a view to asking the Australian Government for an apology together with acknowledgement of the contributions of Chinese Australians”.

As a consequence the National Executive has endorsed our first project, Moving On!, that will go a significant way towards finding a Chinese Australian voice that will resonate with all who care about the cultural development and destiny of our nation.

This conference is devoted to seeking information, knowledge and expertise that would enhance the execution of our Moving On! project.

We seek papers from historians, history teachers, and social researchers on the treatment of Chinese Australian history in current school syllabi that might benefit from re-casting to evoke empathy from a Chinese Australian perspective.
