2027 ANZSA Conference
Wellington, New Zealand, 10–12 February 2027
Our conference Unsettling Shakespeare invites you to explore the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries across places, times, languages, and cultures.
Taking place in Te Whanganui-a-Tara | Wellington at Te Herenga Waka | ‘the mooring place of canoes’, the conference takes its lead from this sense of travel, arrival, and the sharing of knowledge, and looks to foster diverse, detailed, and multi-perspectival approaches to Shakespeare from across the world.
We encourage approaches that foreground questions of place, identity and belonging; settler colonial culture and Indigeneity; travel, mobility, and cross-cultural encounter; and reception, transmission, adaptation, and translation.
We also invite you to unsettle Shakespeare in other ways—and we welcome any submissions that contribute new approaches to Shakespeare in his worlds and in ours.
Our call for papers is now open!
We are delighted to announce two of our keynote speakers – with more to come!
