ABOUT AVSA
The Australasian Victorian Studies Association aims to promote the activities and research of scholars in Victorian literary, historical, and cultural studies, including art history, architecture, politics, popular and print culture, and, increasingly, considerations of 'the Victorian' beyond the chronological period, and beyond the geographical centre of British Victorian Studies.
Since its first conference in 1973, AVSA has provided a meeting place for scholars in Victorian Studies in the southern hemisphere. AVSA's membership is international, with a particular focus on Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Japan and Singapore. We also have strong links with Associations in Britain and the United States.
AVSA conferences are held regularly, hosted by members around the region. Usually, there is an annual conference in February each year, but watch this space for some special events in 2008. In 2009, the annual conference will be held in Dunedin, New Zealand. The latest details are available here.
The other major initiative for AVSAis the transformation of our well-established refereed journal, AVSJ, to a new web-based electronic journal: Australasian Journal of Victorian Studies (AJVS). The first issue went online in December 2007. For more information about the Journal, please follow the link to its home in the National Library of Australia's Online Journal System.
