About the Melbourne SSAAANZ Hub & SSAAANZ Regional Hubs:

The Melbourne SSAAANZ Hub was created in 2022 to facilitate the opportunity to meet face-to-face during The Materials of Screen Media online conference. The Hub was revived in 2023 as a way of bringing people together face-to-face in between the biennial conference. 

SSAAANZ encourages members to continue or create their own regional SSAAANZ ‘hubs’. This is an opportunity to share research in progress, and compare teaching experiences and approaches, and socialise with fellow screen studies scholars. It might take the form of regular or occasional meetings,seminars, roundtable discussions, or screenings. The regional hubs are distinct from Special Interest Groups (SIGs) focused on a particular area of screen studies. Rather, the hubs are location based, and the topics can vary to enable colleagues across multiple organisations to share a wide variety of research and teaching interests. Although the hubs were initiated with in-person gatherings in mind, hubs could also choose to have online meet-ups as well. If you are interested in reviving or creating a regional hub, please contact SSAAANZ.
