If you are interested in reviewing any of the titles please contact him via the email address given on the list.
ACNZSN is very excited to announce the upcoming publication of public supporter and JACANZS editorial board member, Dr. Effie Karageorgos‘ fascinating co-edited book with Natalie Ann Hendry on Critical Mental Health in Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand: Social and Historical Perspectives (Palgrave Macmillan, 2025). Warmest congratulations to Effie and Natalie! 🙂
ACNZSN is also pleased to share that former ACNZSN public supporter and JACANZS editorial board member, Professor Paul Pickering was appointed as a Member of the Order of Australia (AM) last month.
