[Hum-DIS] FW: [WAIN] 2012 New Norcia Library Lecture

[Kerry Smith]

Dear students

Some of you may have seen this notice on WAIN.  This email is to let you know that we are making enquiries about organising a little bus to the lecture as we always try to support it and the day.  It was wonderful last year (no, not because I gave one of the talks) because we were taken into some of the Monastery's special places including their libraries. Bec  Shillington is onto it and we will send out more details as soon as they come to hand

Regards

Kerry

Subject: [WAIN] 2012 New Norcia Library Lecture


This year's New Norcia Library Lecture will be held on Friday September 7. Our three speakers will highlight the National Year of Reading in thought-provoking ways.



WILLIAM YEOMAN, Books Editor and Senior Arts Writer at the West Australian newspaper, will speak on Reading, Memory and Freedom in the Digital Age, discussing digital technology in relation to the print media, philosophy, literature, painting and music, while taking in evolutionary theory on the way. Wow.



LIZ BYRSKI, lecturer in professional and creative writing at Curtin University and well-known author, has chosen the topic Subversive pleasures: popular fiction and social change. She will cover popular fiction in the 19th century, then the way that social change was influenced by the democratization of reading and by the development of libraries. She will also show how popular fiction from the 1960's onwards has helped to raise feminist consciousness. Finally, she will discuss the rationale behind her own writing. Again, wow.



DAMIEN WEBB, Indigenous Literacy Project Officer at State Library of Western Australia, will speak on Engaging Aboriginal Families with Library Services about the literacy programmes which the State Library promotes. He will be able to report on Indigenous Literacy Day which will be held two days prior to our lecture.



Our day's activities will comprise the lectures, an open forum discussion, and time to network with library colleagues at morning tea and lunch in St Gertrude's College. (Food will be supplied by the New Norcia Hotel.) Vegetarian and gluten-free food will be available at lunch. You will also get free entry to the New Norcia Museum/Art Gallery. And 5 ALIA-approved P.D. points.



Yet again, the price is great value at only $77, and the student concession price is $33. Registration is at 10 a.m. in St Gertrude's College, and the programme ends at 3 p.m.
