Dear All,

Please find below the latest news, opportunities, and publications in Australian, Canadian, and Aotearoa New Zealand Studies 🙂

News:

Here are a few reminders from ACNZSN:

Submission of manuscripts for the inaugural issue of the newly created Journal of Australian, Canadian, and Aotearoa New Zealand Studies (JACANZS) are due on 30 November 2020. The special call for papers can be found here. JACANZS will also have a Book Reviews section. The section is shaping up really well, and I would like to publicly thank the Book Reviews Editor, Emily Cornish for all her hard work! However, there are still some spaces for more reviews, so if you would like your book reviewed or would like to review a book please contact Emily at acanzsjournal@gmail.com.

Jatinder Mann and Iain Johnston-White are editing a collection on A History of the British World: New Voices and Perspectives and are calling for proposals for chapters to be included in the collection. The deadline for the submission of proposals is 31 December 2020. Further details can be found here. 

Submissions for the newly renamed Donna Coates Book Prize (named after a leading scholar in Australian, Canadian, and Aotearoa New Zealand Studies) are due by 31 December 2020. The prize is aimed at Early Career Scholars and/or those publishing their first book. And you can be from anywhere in the world, you do not have to be a citizen or permanent resident of the three countries of ACNZSN 🙂 Further details can be found here. 

Jatinder Mann was recently invited to become an Affiliate on Lynette Russell’s exciting and important research project on ‘Global Encounters & First Nations Peoples: 1000 Years of Australian History’ at the Monash Indigenous Studies Centre at Monash University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Tony Hughes-d’Aeth did an interesting podcast on ‘Australia’s literary regionalism’ for the Australian Book Review.

Julie Lalonde, a Canadian women’s rights advocate, recently spoke about her horrendous experience of being stalked by her ex-boyfriend for a decade on BBC Outlook. You can listen to the episode here.
