As his reputation has grown he has become the subject of increasing scholarly interest, particularly since his later work carries a progressively complex conception of America to international audiences.

Confirmed speakers include Adrian Martin, Frances Bonner, Glen Creeber, Leighton Grist and Alastair Rolls. Registration is $50 waged, $30 students.
