                  <text>SLACLALS Report 2019 -2022
The SLACLALS Executive Committee had planned to hold its triennial general meeting and
conference “Continuing Postcolonialism” for which more than a year’s notice had been given
soon after the last 2019 ACLALS triennial in Auckland but postponed both in response to
requests from the University of Colombo and the Gratiaen Trust—a scheduling conflict would
have prevented SLACLALS members who belonged to these organisations from
participating in the triennial. The rearranged dates (29 to 31 May 2020) did not work out
either because the island was in complete lockdown. The continuation of Covid-19,
curfews, closures, and social unrest have prevented regular meetings, and even online
activity rendered problematic because the most senior members of SLACLALS do not have
ready access to internet (available only sporadically anyway on account of extended power
cuts). SLACLALS is currently trying to initiate a project to digitize previous issues of its
journal Phoenix. The Association expects to hold its much delayed triennial later this year if
life returns to normal. To this end it has begun to negotiate with the sponsors of the
postponed 2020 conference to fund a low key event in 2022.
