Harry Potter is a household
name yet there is only a small amount of research done in this area. The
Flinders University English Department is holding a two-day
inter-disciplinary conference to discuss the Harry Potter books, movies,
merchandising, and the various social reactions which have occurred among
different groups. We welcome 20 minute papers dealing with any aspect of
Harry Potter. Selected papers will be collected for a refereed
publication. Teachers please note: attending this conference can be
accredited as professional development.
Anticipated areas of research are:
- Cultural Studies
- Screen Studies
- Theology
- Children’s literature
- Education
- Scottish literature
Proposals should be submitted in the form of an abstract of about 100-500
words in an electronic format (preferably Word) by Monday, 10 November.
We will require a full-text of the paper one month after
presentation.
Please email your abstract to one of the following conference
