Dear All,
Please find below the latest news, opportunities, and recent publications in Australian, Canadian, and Aotearoa New Zealand Studies 🙂
News:
ACNZSN is very excited to announce a call for papers for Vol. 2, Issues 1-2 of its Journal of Australian, Canadian, and Aotearoa New Zealand Studies (JACANZS). The deadline for manuscripts for Vol. 2, Issue 1 is 31 December 2021. And the deadline for proposals for a special issue of Vol. 2, Issue 2 is 31 March 2022.
JACANZS is also looking for book reviewers for the following titles. If you are interested in reviewing any of them please contact Ms. Emily Cornish, the Book Reviews Editor at jacanzsbookreviews@gmail.com. Emily is also keen to create a database of potential reviewers so if you are interested in reviewing a book for the journal (we especially encourage emerging scholars as writing a book review is a way to start your publication record and also raise your profile in your field, not to mention ‘usually’ getting to receive a physical copy of the book) please also contact her with your area of expertise. I say ‘usually’ as a growing number of publishers are only offering e-copies of their books for review, which unsurprisingly removes one of the major incentives for doing what is a voluntary, unpaid activity…There has been some collective action by Book Reviews Editors globally to express opposition to this growing shift. For more information see here.
Dr. Carolyn Holbrook will be giving the 2021 Annual History Council of Victoria Lecture online on ‘“I don’t hold a hose, mate”: Power and sentiment in the Australian Federation’ on Thursday 21 October 2021, 5.30-7.30pm (AEST).
Professor Mark Kenny will be giving an online talk on ‘Lucky but lame — Australia’s unhappy relationship with risk’ as a part of series at the State Library of New South Wales on Tuesday 26 October 2021, 5.30–6.30pm (AEST).

‘Parched: Cultures of Drought in regional Victoria’ Ph.D. Scholarship, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Victoria (Vic.), Australia
The ARC funded project ‘Parched: Cultures of drought in regional Victoria’ is an environmental humanities project examining the changing ways Victorians have lived with, imagined, understood and represented drought. We aim to link cultural and media practices with climate histories to establish a new interdisciplinary model of drought cultures and generate new knowledge of the social and cultural dimensions of drought in rural and regional areas. The project is led by Professor Katie Holmes and based in La Trobe’s Centre for the Study of the Inland. This scholarship opportunity offers the chance to work with this exceptionally strong team of environmental humanities scholars. A suggested focus for the research of the successful applicant is the WWII drought across three regions: Albury/Wodonga, Shepparton and Bendigo, although this is open to discussion and we welcome applicants to suggest their own area of focus provided it falls within the parametres of the project.
Deadline: 31 October 2021
