Welcome to the Meanjin
Website.
Meanjin is the local South-East Queensland branch of
the Australian Literacy Educators’ Association, ALEA.
Like ALEA, Meanjin is dedicated to the improvement
of literacy development and English language learning at all levels.
Brisbane Meanjin Local
Council is a non-profit association. All activities are run by a group of
volunteer teachers, school administrators & university academics.
Meanjin provides support to
educators, students and others interested in literacy
through conferences, workshops and seminars, writers' camps, journals and
other publications.
The name Meanjin is derived from the Aboriginal name
for the finger of land on which central Brisbane is located.

ASFLA 2009 Conference
... coming to Brisbane
It
is with great excitement Meanjin advises the 2009 ASFLA (Australian
Systemic Functional Linguistics Association) Conference is coming to
Brisbane in the second week of the September school holidays
(28 Sept – 2 Oct 2009).
The
theme is Practising Theory: Expanding Understandings of Language,
Literature and Literacy. The inclusion of ‘Language, Literature and
Literacy’ is a deliberate reference to the three elements proposed
