Please find below the latest news, opportunities, and publications in Australian, Canadian, and Aotearoa New Zealand Studies. As you will see there are several CFPs (which is great to see with so many conferences cancelled or postponed last year due to the Covid-19 pandemic) and numerous jobs again advertised across Canada 🙂
