Seminar Series 2002Language and Landscape Papers Presented: Hamish Maxwell-Stewart Talking to tourists on the Midland Highway
In the earlier notice of this year's second research day, we indicated New Norfolk as a place to hold the seminar. Since then, much has happened, and our focus will now be on the Willow Court Precinct, its historical significance, concepts for its future, and possibilities for developing (and structuring) connections between our research cluster and Valley Vision, which a fortnight ago became responsible for this remarkable site. The potential afforded for university/industry connections begins with the organisation of the seminar itself. The research cluster has booked a bus to take us to New Norfolk; once there, we will be the guests of Valley Vision. This means that we are able to offer an extraordinary research day without charging registration fees for individual participants. Because we know that in addition to the members of the research cluster who will want to attend the seminar, there will be other people interested in this opportunity to learn about the site and become involved in the project in its ground-breaking phase, we suggest that you book early by emailing Anna Johnston (anna.johnston@utas.edu.au). If you know of other people within or outside the University for whom this seminar would be of particular interest, please ask them to contact Anna as well. We have booked a bus which seats 55, and will be happy to fill it. Also, people driving from Launceston and the north are likely to prefer going straight to New Norfolk, which makes a closer trip than Hobart. Again, could you please let Anna know if you will be coming so that catering etc can be arranged. We are particularly pleased to have a visiting professor of American Studies, Robert C. Allen from the University of South Carolina, as a guest for the day, and we will finish the day at St Ives Hotel, Battery Point, with his paper for the Removing the Boundaries series. We know enough about both the site and the
Valley Vision concept to assure you that this seminar will be remarkable
and unforgettable, and we hope to see you in New Norfolk. A brief history
of the site, and schedule for the day follows below.
