Dear All,

Please find below the latest news, opportunities, and publications in Australian, Canadian, and Aotearoa New Zealand Studies. There are especially quite a few positions that have been advertised at Carleton University in Canada 🙂

News:

ACNZSN is very pleased to announce that Carwyn Jones of the Te Kauhanganui Tātai Ture Faculty of Law at the Te Herenga Waka Victoria University of Wellington in Aotearoa New Zealand has kindly agreed to become a public supporter of the network and join the editorial board of the new Journal of Australian, Canadian, and Aotearoa New Zealand Studies (JACANZS) 🙂 I am confident that Carwyn’s expertise will be of a huge benefit to both ACNZSN and JACANZS! Kia ora to Carwyn 🙂
