Archived messages for ANZCA.net Hi, Everyone Joanne's message about renewing your membership of ANZCA for next The papers in this upcoming AJC demonstrate a nice connection with, as well as a counterpoint to, issues that key communication scholars were concerned with 22 years ago. Regards
Australian Journal of Communication Volume 33 (2,3)

Dr Roslyn Petelin ANZCA 2006 Conference “Empowerment, Creativity and Innovation: Challenging Media and Communication in the 21st Century” Another successful ANZCA conference was held in July at the University of Adelaide. Vice-President Chika Anyanwu (President Elect) wove together a wonderful array of papers, panels, keynote addresses and social events that kept a lively group of registrants stimulated. In her Presidential Address Dr Colleen Mills challenged her audience to look for ways to penetrate the managerial discourses that have taken hold in the corridors of power to ensure we talk with rather than past those that manage our institutions. The keynote speakers that followed were an impressive international line-up who successfully captured the conference theme from five very different perspectives. They were Professors Marsha Kinder (University of Southern California, USA), Anna Everett (University of California, Santa Barbara, USA), Tom O’Regan (University of Queensland, Australia), Jim Barker (University of Waikato, New Zealand) and Associate Professor Andrew Kenyon (University of Melbourne, Australia).
The award recognised Scott’s fine efforts on behalf of ANZCA in Victoria where she has been working with other ANZCA members to encourage post-graduate activities. As a busy post-graduate student herself she is an example to us all. The refereed papers, all abstracts and the full texts of some keynote addresses for ANZCA 2006 will be published on this website in due course and will include the DEST documentation (For Australian members). The next ANZCA conference will be convened in Melbourne in July 2007 by Dr John Tebbitt (La Trobe University). Details will be posted on this website shortly.
The 2005 conference was convened by Dr Colleen Mills (University of Canterbury) at the Arts Centre in Christchurch, New Zealand. The refereed papers, all abstracts and the full text of Janet Holmes' keynote address are published on the ANZCA 2005 website. These can be accessed via the link below, by clicking on the ANZCA 2005 logo on this page then ANZCA 2005 or by going directly to http://www.mang.canterbury.ac.nz/ANZCA/Editorial.shtml
A well attended post-graduate seminar sponsored by ANZCA was held at the University of Canterbury in July. After an entertaining keynote address from Professor Kon Kuiper (Department of Linguistics) on researching discourse and an equally stimulating presentation by Dr Donald Matheson (Department of Mass Communication and Journalism) on critical discourse, attendees from a wide range of disciplines presented snapshots of their discourse-based research.
The new ANZCA committee will take up their positions on 1 September 2006 lead by Dr Chika Anyanwu.

Humanities on The Hill (HOTH) 16-17 August 2005 Our President, Dr Colleen Mills, represented ANZCA at a meeting in Canberra between members of both houses of the Australian Parliament and representatives from organisations covering the humanities, arts and social sciences. This meeting, organised by CHASS (Council for the Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences) gave representatives from CHASS’s member organisations the opportunity to share interests, ideas and concerns with over 100 members of Parliament. The event was both extremely interesting and informative and highlighted the value to be gained from informal discussion between interest groups and parliamentarians. One suggestion that emerged from the discussions in Canberra was that ANZCA should establish a Register of Expertise so expert comment and advice can be readily sought from ANZCA members. The Membership will be canvassed later this year to establish the level of support for such an initiative.

NEW Year. December News: ANZCA03 Abstracts due!!!! To access the ANZCA03 Conference website click
here. November News: President's Email Message to the Membership, November 1 2002 Dear ANZCA membersSee: ANZCA Concise Report and Budget 1. Conference 2003. We hope the last few months since ANZCA 2002 have been kind to you and we look forward to seeing you at ANZCA 2003. See our web site http://www.anzca.net or go directly to the conference website http://www.bgsb.qut.edu.au/conferences/ANZCA03/index.html so that you can submit your paper proposals to the organisers. 2. Budget - Keeping the membership informed. At the 2001 conference it was agreed that ANZCA would present a forward budget to its members. The current committee now has access to the books and the Honorary Treasurer, Joanne Jacobs, has prepared the Draft Budget report which is enclosed. We would welcome your comments. You will see that almost all the dollars from your membership are expended in running the organisation and in providing you with journals. Conferences are expected to be self-funding and to provide a subsidy for members with reduced costs for members. Conference organisers are expected to find their own sponsorships. We are operating under the principle that for the organisation to be viable its operating or recurrent expenditure should be met out of recurrent funds (i.e.) membership.The fall off in membership following the last rise of $30 in 2001 and evidence from the conference survey and other verbal comments suggests that some present members are resistant to the notion of increasing membership costs beyond $150 at the present time. Accordingly, the executive would consider suggestions about how savings might be made to these recurrentexpenditures. We would also welcome suggestions about expenditures which we have not forecast.3. Changes to the Constitution Under our rules changes to the constitution can only be made after a mail out (postal)to the members. Before this happens we will be posting the old constitution on our website together with the proposed changes to the Constitution which Helen Wilson has drawn up. If you can read both of these and send any comments to me or to Helen Wilson we can ensure that there needs to be only one mailout which will save ANZCA money. 4. Expert Opinion From time to time many of us are asked by the Media to comment on a particular aspect of our society from a Communication perspective. I would like to make it easier for Media representatives to contact Communication, Journalism, Cultural Studies, Public Relations and Oranisational Communication and Media Studies academics. Accordingly, I am proposing that we devote a page of our website to a list of such people who are willing to comment on specific Communication topics. If you are willing, could you provide to our honorary website master Joanne Jacobs, joanne@joannejacobs.net, 1. Your name, your university and email contact 2. The topic you are willing to speak about. 3. Anything else you want included. We will then publicise our website address for this page to the Media. Hopefully this will result in a better informed public, greater respect for the profession and good publicity for ANZCA, you, and your home university.
