Dear All,

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

News:

A reminder about the Call for Papers for an edited collection on ‘Indigeneity and the British World: Settler Colonialism, Resistance, and Self-Determination’. The collection will be edited by Dr. Jatinder Mann and Dr. Ali Clark and is anticipated to be published in the ‘Studies in Transnationalism’ book series at Peter Lang Publishing (subject to a successful peer review) under the auspices of ACNZSN. The deadline for the submission of proposals is 30 April 2024.

The Book Reviews Editor of ACNZSN’s Journal of Australian, Canadian, and Aotearoa New Zealand Studies, Dr. Jatinder Mann is looking for reviewers of the following books. In you are interested in reviewing any of the titles please contact him at jacanzsbookreviews@gmail.com.

ACNZSN would like to express its warmest congratulations to one of its amazing public supporters, Assistant Professor Chadwick Cowie (University of Toronto) for the successful recent defence of his Ph.D. at the University of Alberta! Along with being an excellent researcher (one of his first articles was published in JACANZS) and teacher, Chad truly gives meaning to the term ‘Academic Service’. As a public supporter of ACNZSN and a member of the Editorial Board of JACANZS he has been a member of the Adjudication Committee of the Donna Coates Book Prize for the past two years, written numerous book reviews, reviewed manuscripts, and recommended other scholars for both of the latter as well. ACNZSN is confident that Chad’s career will continue to flourish and we hope that he will carry on being such a wonderful supporter of the network and its journal for many more years to come 🙂
