30th FILLM Congress – Call for Proposals Now Open!

We’re excited to announce the 30th Congress of the International Federation for Modern Languages and Literatures (FILLM), taking place from 8–11 December 2026 at Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia!

Theme: Talking Country
Join us as we explore how “country” shapes—and is shaped by—languages, literatures, and cultures. From Indigenous knowledges to global multiculturalism, the Congress invites reflection on how we speak with, through, and about the places we inhabit.

We welcome proposals for:

• Individual presentations
   
• Curated panel sessions
   
• Practice-based workshops
   
• Organisational meetings
   

🔗 Submit your proposal and find more info here: https://www.vu.edu.au/30th-FILLM-Congress

Deadline for proposals: 30 September 2025

Accepted applicants will be notified by November 2025 to allow ample time for travel planning and funding.

Let’s meet in Melbourne to celebrate the power of language and literature across cultures and continents!
