Dear All,

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

 

News:

It is with great sadness that ACNZSN announces the recent passing of Neville Meaney. For those of you familiar with the history of Australian foreign and defence policy, Australian national identity, and Australian-US relations (to name just three major areas of research interest) you will know the huge intellectual impact that Neville had on all these fields. But apart from his profound contribution to scholarship, Neville was also a wonderful mentor and supervised numerous Ph.D. students during his long and illustrious career. The creator and manager of ACNZSN, Dr. Jatinder Mann actually had the distinct honour and privilege of being Neville’s last ever Ph.D. student. Another one of them wrote a piece about Neville in History Matters.  Although Neville might sadly not be with us any longer, his intellectual legacy lives on. Rest in peace Neville…

On a happier note, ACNZSN is very pleased to announce the publication of the inaugural issue of its Journal of Australian, Canadian, and Aotearoa New Zealand Studies (JACANZS)! You can view it here 🙂 JACANZS is a peer-reviewed, online, open-access, non-profit, interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary journal. On the back of its hugely successful inaugural issue, JACANZS also has a call for papers for its second issue, which is expected to be published in December 2021. The deadline for the submission of manuscripts is 30 June 2021.

Submissions are also open for ACNZSN’s Donna Coates Book Prize. It is awarded annually to a monograph published by an Early Career Researcher and/or someone who has published their first book, that looks at least two countries of the focus of the network, i.e. Australia and Canada or Canada and Aotearoa New Zealand etc., and is published in the year in which the prize is promoted, so for this year’s prize, 2021. The prize is open to all disciplines. The deadline for submissions is 31 December 2021.

An Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand Public History Network (AAPHN) has been created. The AAPHN aims to develop public history across Australasia by providing a means of networking, communication and knowledge sharing for individuals and organisations who practice public and applied history.
