The Centre for Research on Women, Gender, Culture and Social Change, a part of EMSAH at UQ, is hosting a masterclass on “Transculturalism”, Thursday 18 November from 10-4 (followed by refreshments). Professor Sneja Gunew will be the main speaker and the day is designed mainly for postgraduates but others are also welcome. Sneja will give two presentations and there will be a session for postgraduates to present 10-minute papers on issues of cross- and trans-culturalism that have arisen in relation to their research. Those who would like to offer a short presentation in this session should contact Carole Ferrier.
