Dear All,

Please find below the latest news and opportunities in Australian, Canadian, and Aotearoa New Zealand Studies. There are particularly quite a few academic jobs that have been advertised, which is great to see, considering the huge impact that the Covid-19 pandemic has had on academia as well as so many other fields 🙂

News:

ACNZSN’s new Journal of Australian, Canadian, and Aotearoa New Zealand Studies (JACANZS) has launched its social media pages alongside its webpage 🙂 

JACANZS also issued a special call for papers for its inaugural issue which is due to be published in November 2021. The deadline is 30 November 2020.

CORRECTION FROM LAST NEWSLETTER:

The Treaty of Waitangi Unit (TOWRU) at the Stout Research Centre for New Zealand Studies (located at Victoria University of Wellington) has, since 2012, published an open-access online Treaty Research Series.  Prior to this date, it published 36 hard-copy papers grouped under three different series:  see here for a full list of TOWRU publications. The four series explore many aspects of the New Zealand state’s relationship, historical and contemporary, with Maori. Their editor, Richard Hill, is an historian of Crown-Maori relations who has been Chief Historian in the pioneering years of reparational negotiations between Crown and Maori, and later a Member of the Waitangi Tribunal, New Zealand’s equivalent of a truth and reconciliation commission.

The hard-copy papers are normally available at NZ$28.75 each (plus postage for addresses outside New Zealand). TOWRU can offer copies to ACNZSN blog subscribers at the reduced rate of NZ$12.00 including postage. For orders and enquiries, please contact the Stout Research Centre administrator, Debbie Levy at debbie.levy@vuw.ac.nz and mention your subscription to the ACNZSN blog.
