30th International FILLM Congress
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 recived proposals for:
Individual presentations
Curated panel sessions
Practice-based workshops
Organisational meetings
Looking forward to this amazing event!
Let’s meet in Melbourne to celebrate the power of language and literature across cultures and continents!
