Conferences
The members of the Research Centre for Languages and Cultures participate fully in academic conversations nationally and internationally. Members are often invited to give plenary presentations at conferences, and also present other papers at conference. We give here a selection of plenary and keynote presentations, and papers at refereed conferences, which have been given by RCLC members since 2005 (whether they were staff of UniSA at the time or not). This list is updated each year, in around February.
