Conferences in Australia

[Paul Cubberley]

Sorry about my last posting, in which the enclosure failed to survive the
trip. Hopefully they'll work this time. Here is the information about the
two end-on conferences in June.

1. A conference to celebrate

'50 Years of Russian in Australia'

will be held at the University of Melbourne on 25-26 June 1996

(Russian was first introduced as a formal University subject at the
University of Melbourne in 1946.)

Papers are invited on any aspect of Russian Studies, but primarily in the
areas of language and literature, as these have been the centre of the
Department's activities. Papers of either 20 or 40 minutes may be offered,
and may be given in either English or Russian. Registration, titles,
preferably accompanied by abstracts, and time requested should be sent by
30 April.

There will be no registration fee, and delegates will be free to organise
their own meals. The University Staff Club (University House) will be open
to delegates for this purpose.

Accommodation may be arranged in colleges or in hotels close to the campus.
