Welcome to the Australasian Centre for Italian Studies (ACIS).
ACIS was established in 2000 with the aim of enhancing collaboration among Italianists from all areas of Italian Studies in Australasian universities. These areas include language teaching, linguistics, migration studies, sociology, anthropology, history, literature, business, film studies, cultural studies, translation studies, visual arts and architecture. ACIS also aims to gather and distribute resources to the collective advantage of the area, to establish stronger ties with international researchers in the field, and to involve the wider community in its activities whenever possible.
Serving as a professional body, ACIS seeks to develop the contemporary profile of Italian Studies in the region by organising regular conferences and workshops, creating web-based resources, awarding scholarships to honours and postgraduate students, and assisting with research projects. In all its activities, ACIS draws on the considerable, but widely dispersed, array of Italianist expertise in Australia and the region, and encourages as much participation and collaboration as possible.
To receive regular updates about ACIS activities, please subscribe to the ACIS mailing list.
We welcome your interest and participation. For further information on ACIS, or to contribute ideas for future initiatives, please contact our administrator, Ms Melissa Hasluck:
