Many thanks as well to the outgoing ACLALS chair Assoc Professor Chris Prentice for all of her hard work. Keynote speakers included: Witi Ihimaera, Elleke Boehmer, Arundhati Roy, Melissa Lucashenko and Kei Miller.
It was thrill to meet ACLALS members from around the world and across all associations. We look forward to seeing everyone again in three years!
