The original vision that led to the formation of ACRAWSA was "to bring together scholars who shared an interest in the study of whiteness and race in order to develop an association whereby our work could be showcased and presented as there was and remains no formal race and whiteness field of study within Australian Universities." (Professor Aileen Moreton-Robinson)
This conference aims to once again bring together scholars who share an interest in the study of critical whiteness and race to showcase and present their work. Much of the early work by scholars of whiteness studies in Australia was in relation to legal issues such as Native title and Indigenous Sovereignty, a theme that is reflected at this years' conference. The conference also acknowledges the place of lore in creation of our present and future, thus extending beyond a singularly legal theme. Both law and lore are used to guide direction and understanding of the world around us. Law and lore are the cartography, the maps, on life's journey for understanding what is expected and assumed; for aspirations, values and how life is lived.

The conference proceedings from the 2011 ACRAWSA/ISRN Joint Conference is available to download for free. Featuring a selection of papers from the conference, the ebook represents a new venture in ACRAWSA publishing, adding to the well-established Critical Race and Whiteness Studies journal.
The Australian Critical Race and Whiteness Studies ejournal has been renamed Critical Race and Whiteness Studies. The journal will continue its focus on promoting scholarship that situates Indigenous sovereignty at the centre of critical inquiry. Materials from previous issues will also continue to be available through the ejournal section of the site.
