BSANZ 2010 Conference Roundup
The 2010 BSANZ Conference in Melbourne—To Deprave and Corrupt: Forbidden, Hidden and Censored Books—was a resounding success. For those of you who missed the fun here is a roundup of links publicising and reporting on events. (They are, for the most part, in chronological order.)
Jane Sullivan's lead article on "Censorship and Sensibility"—prompted by the conference—appeared in Saturday's A2 section of The Age (see here). I reported this on my academic blog here.
Caroline Breashears and I were interviewed for ABC radio's Bookshow by Ramona Koval on the subject of "Lewd and scandalous books of the 18th century" (you can download the show here). I reported this on my blog here.
Both Monash and Melbourne University rare book libraries put on exhibitions about banned books. Each exhibition was reported on institutional blogs and in newsletters (here, here and here).
Tom Ellis did a blog entry on both exhibitions here. I wrote a couple of posts about the Monash exhibition and on my first plans for both the conference and exhibitions (here and here).
Kevin Patrick—a keynote speaker at the conference discussed his paper and the conference here and here. Megan Burke, who attended Kevin's entertaining keynote, discussed it in her Literary Life blog here.
And a colleague of ours at the Centre for the Book at Monash, Rebecca-Anne Do Rozario—who attended the conference—says a few nice things in passing about the conference on her blog here.
If I missed anything, please let me know!
