We welcome scholars from across the University to cultivate a consolidated sense of the 19th century research field and encourage interdisciplinary conversations about the period. We draw on resources from art and theatre history, anthropology, cultural geography, history, literary studies, philosophy, and postcolonial studies.

We bring together postgraduate research students and academics from across the University who are engaged with or interested in film.
We hold regular screenings and discussions based on canonical and contemporary works of film criticism and theory and encourage diverse approaches from studies in technology and aesthetics to performance and adaptation, ‘filmosophies’ informed by literature, images and sound.
Expertise is not a requirement to join this group, we welcome anyone with an interest in film. All readings are pre-assigned, selected by current postgraduate students to offer both new and established scholars a focus for discussion.
Mondays, 5-7pm
Screenings: SNH Lecture Theatre 3003, Sydney Nanoscience Hub A31
Reading group: Mills Tutorial Room 202, R C Mills Building A 26

This reading group typically runs in connection with an end of semester Novel Network event, and involves preparatory reading for a lecture or masterclass delivered by an international visitor.
We meet every two weeks during relevant semesters, and welcome doctoral candidates working on a range of novel-centred topics and narrative theories across the humanities.
Expertise on the theorist, topic or novel under discussion is not a prerequisite for participation. Anyone interested in a friendly, interdisciplinary approach to studying the novel is welcome to join.
