Welcome to the Australian Modernist Studies Network (AMSN). The AMSN was established in July 2009 to support and coordinate research activity in modernist studies throughout Australasia. The network provides a forum for discussion and productive exchange between those interested in modernism and related fields, and has cognate links to the Modernist Studies Association, the British Association for Modernist Studies and the European Network for Avant-garde and Modernism Studies. The Network also has collaborative links with the recently launched Centre for Modernism Studies in Australia and it is envisaged that the Network and the Centre will develop a set of synergistic relationships to support and promote modernist studies in the region.
.
In line with the rapidly expanding international and interdisciplinary domain of scholarship that comprises the new modernist studies, the AMSN seeks to engage academics, postgraduate students and those outside the academy who work in any of the various disciplines and denominations of modernism: for example, modernity, the fin-de-siècle, the avant-garde, transnational approaches, Anglophone and European modernism, digital and archival modernisms, and contemporary legacies.
.
We invite you to participate in the network by signing up to become a member, submitting information about your research profile and interests, and notifying us of modernist studies events or projects in which you are involved. Links to these options are located on the left-hand-side of this webpage.

The AMSN sponsors a range of research events and initiatives including symposiums, visiting speakers and, in future years, publications. Do check this website regularly for information on forthcoming events and new developments.
