Adoption in Australia: Contemporary Cultural, Theoretical and Political Perspectives
July 3-4, 2008
Symposium jointly supported by the School of Political and Social Inquiry and the School of Historical Studies, Monash University.
This symposium will bring together approximately 15-20 researchers from a range of disciplinary backgrounds. These researchers will present their work with a view to contributing to a collection of essays on the topic of adoption. We anticipate that the collection will be co-edited by the convenors and that the final version of papers will reflect the interchange of ideas and perspectives from the symposium.
This collection will play a significant role in bringing contemporary multi-disciplinary and critical perspectives to bear on adoption and address a gap in Australian scholarship on adoption. As such it will provide a key text for scholars and students seeking to understand this important subject.
It is further hoped that the symposium will provide a networking opportunity for adoption researchers to plan future research and collaborations.

As such, we have only a small number of places for non-paper presenters (approximately 12).
