ABSTRACT
When the distinguished Australian cultural studies writer Meaghan Morris left Australia to take up a position in Hong Kong it generated a full page feature on the brain drain in The Australian newspaper. Four years later, she is back in Australia on study leave with some rich experiences to share on what cultural studies is in Asia, on her experiences teaching cultural studies to students from non-Western backgrounds, and the view from outside Australia on the state of cultural studies here. In conversation with Graeme Turner, first, and then in response to questions from the audience, Meaghan will deal with a wide range of topics relating to her recent experiences and her own work.
