13.01.2022 The Limina Writing Group will be meeting at Arts 1.33 from 20 August. This is a fully enabled Zoom conference call room, so if you would like to 'Zoom' in, contact us and we will send you the details. The writing group is a non-structured space where there is a collective responsibility to 'write', as well as mutual support between members to assist in each others' writing. Examples of what might happen in a meeting: you can ask or be asked to look over and give feedback on a... piece of writing, for clarification/discussion on the meaning of a word or a certain theory in the context of your writing, for advice on a university milestone document or writing style/section. The space is big enough that people can break off and talk in a corner, project work for discussion onto a larger screen, or can exchange direct messages in Zoom. Please recognise however that this is an informal space - if you require direct help that is urgent or time sensitive, teaching, or formal advice on any matters these are best directed to your Supervisor/s, Graduate Research Coordinator, or the Graduate Research School.

13.01.2022 Limina is shocked to hear of UWA's decision to axe UWA Publishing - an organisation that has greatly supported Limina and the Perth humanities community, and contributed to the vibrancy and engagement of our collective outputs.

11.01.2022 You may be interested in this event where one of our Collective is speaking! Making SPACE for Feeling: (Re)configuring the Future with Speculative Fiction Date: 13 March 2020... Time: 3:00pm Location: SymbioticA Speakers: Laura Collier & Kathryn Prince In this presentation we will explore the genres function as a liminal space of experimental thought, where theories and ideas are beta tested within fictional worlds, before being deployed through trade fiction, and into the imaginations of the audience. Together, we will further consider the ways that speculative fiction, while not necessarily a social reality in the concrete sense, encourages dreams of the future as a shared collective experience.
