The Centre for Australian Literary Cultures (CALC) brings together researchers and creative practitioners at ANU and beyond who are focused on the role of reading, writing and publishing in our ever-evolving mediaverse. Working from a national perspective, CALC aims to advance understanding of the nature, techniques and impacts of literature and other networked media, in Australia and globally.

CALC hosts two of Australia's most prominent online journals in Australian literary studies and the critical humanities: Australian Humanities Review (edited by CALC co-director Monique Rooney) and Australian Literary Studies (co-edited by CALC member Julieanne Lamond).
