The morning session on the politics of the Middle East was excellent. Two of UWA's contingent, Kate Riddell and Samina Yasmeen, started off the session by looking at 'Letters to the Editor as a site of Muslim exclusion'. I found the argument about letters to the editor as a genuine and unsolicited public narrative very interesting. I'd love to see ...

I've just got back from the Australian Political Studies Association Annual Conference, and want to put down a few notes about the presentations I attended and some of my favourite papers.

It's probably too late to go, although ...
