14–17 April 2010 New Zealand & Australian Studies Section Western Social Science Association Meeting in Reno, Nevada, Bill Schaniel, Section Coordinator New Zealand & Australian Studies Section Western Social Science Association Call for papers 24–26 June 2010 Writing the Empire: Scribblings from Below An international & interdisciplinary conference University of Bristol. Call for papers Over the last few decades, the study of texts has increasingly occupied centre-stage within the study of empires. Scholars from a host of disciplines have explored the representations of peoples and places in travel writing, novels and a wide variety of other textual forms. The written word has thus been acknowledged as a key technology of power. While considerable attention has been paid to the ways in which gender shaped such texts, less attention has been paid to other forms of difference and inequality. This interdisciplinary conference seeks to address this gap by exploring how less powerful and less privileged actors in colonial and post-colonial societies made use of the written word. We also invite papers on their performance, including, in particular, the politics of performance in colonial and metropolitan streetscapes. Possible themes for papers & panels include:

How has the Christian tradition informed the theory and practice of history? How important is history to the belief and expression of Christianity? And how have Christian people, groups, movements, ideas and experiences been significant in past centuries? The conference aims to bring together a variety of perspectives on these questions. It is open to scholars associated with theological colleges as well as universities. Students doing original research in history are especially encouraged to participate. The EHA invites proposals for papers on any aspect of the relationship between Christianity and History. We particularly welcome papers with an historiographical or theoretical focus, or that engage with the following topics:
Please send abstracts of no more than 250 words to Dr Meredith Lake (meredithelake@gmail.com) by 31 March 2010. 23–25 July 2010 States of Statelessness: the 3rd International History Post-graduate Intensive University of Sydney, Australia, Postgraduate students are invited to submit proposals for the third International History Postgraduate Intensive at the University of Sydney on July 23–25, 2010. Its theme is "States of Statelessness". Faculty From Harvard, Birkbeck, Paris, Sydney and other Australian universities – see the website for further information. Theme In recent years, historians have begun to reconsider the lenses through which the past may be viewed, and to restore an emphasis on the breadth of human experience beyond national and statist contexts. In particular, they are increasingly engaged in examining the complex transnational nature of economies, cultures, societies and politics. The Postgraduate Intensive 'States of Statelessness' invites graduate students to reflect on ways of seeing beyond the state and beyond the nation. The remit is broad, and we are interested in students working on the history of migration, movement, mobility, and memory, and in fields including, but not limited to: diplomatic history, international history, economic history, environmental history, gender history, black diaspora history, migration history, histories of empire, human rights, legal history, histories of social movements. There is no restriction on the regions or periods covered. However, students should be open to a consideration of the broader historiographical implications of their work, and in some way engage with the literature on transnational and or international historiography. Eligibility Places will be offered to around twenty (20) research students. Applicants can be enrolled either full or part time. Further information For further information, funding and costs, and to obtain an application form, visit the website or email Professor Glenda Sluga. Applications close 31 January 2010. 29 July – 1 August 2010
It is an important time for gifted education and we are requesting relevant organisations to assist us in promoting this conference. As this is the biennial Asia Pacific conference, it will replace the AAEGT National Conference that would normally be held in 2010. The AAEGT is committed to raising the profile of gifted education through the promotion of professional knowledge and skills, policy development and advocacy, research and scholarship, and the dissemination of information. Hosting the Asia Pacific Conference in 2010 is part of that commitment. The Asia Pacific Federation is affiliated with the World Council for Gifted and Talented Children and holds its biennial conference in even years while the World Council holds its biennial conference in odd years. This provides members from the Asia Pacific rim an opportunity every year to gather together, to share ideas, and renew enthusiasm for meeting the needs of gifted children, their families, and their teachers. We have recently announced the call for papers inviting abstracts addressing
