[csaa-forum] Australian Humanities Review

[Russell Smith]

Australian Humanities Review - Australia's first refereed online
humanities journal - has moved to www.australianhumanitiesreview.org
<http://www.australianhumanitiesreview.org/> . Please update your links
and bookmarks. Please also note that the entire AHR archive is available
on the new site.

 

AHR has also moved to new editors, Monique Rooney and Russell Smith, in
the School of Humanities at the Australian National University. Liz
McMahon, who edited the journal from 1997-2007, and who deserves a large
measure of the credit for the journal's success, has moved on to the
editorship of Southerly. 

 

Our first issue as the new editors - AHR 44 - is now online: a special
issue on 'the idea of South' and its role in Australians' sense of their
place in the world, featuring essays by Shino Konishi, Kevin Murray,
Stephen Muecke, Raewyn Connell and Margaret Jolly. The new issue also
features book reviews and the Eco-Humanities Corner, with essays by
Emily Potter and Paul Starr, and the late Val Plumwood.

 

We welcome submissions for future issues of AHR, but in the first
instance only in the form of 250-word abstracts. Further information
about submissions is available at
http://www.australianhumanitiesreview.org/help.html#policy or feel free
to contact the editors at ahr at anu.edu.au .

 

For those who will be in Canberra next Thursday, we'd like to invite you
to the launch of AHR44, along with two other publications by ANU staff
members, from 5pm in the Humanities Conference Room in the AD Hope
Building at ANU. Full details are given below.

Australian Humanities Review is Australia's oldest and most prestigious
online humanities journal. In 2008 it moved to a new 

website, and will be edited and produced with the support of the School
of Humanities at The Australian National University. It provides a forum


for writing across humanities disciplines about all aspects of social,
cultural and political life, primarily (but not exclusively) with 

reference to Australia. It aims to present new and challenging debates
in the contemporary humanities to an international readership inside and


outside academia. The latest issue can be found online at
<http://www.australianhumanitiesreview.org
<http://www.australianhumanitiesreview.org/> >

 

In Dealing Fairly with Developing Country Debt, philosophers,
theologians, lawyers and economists examine questions related to how to 

deal fairly with the over-indebted governments of developing countries.
