The Journal of Australian Studies (JAS) is a fully refereed journal that publishes scholarly articles and reviews on Australian culture, society, politics, history and literature. In print since the mid-
1970s, it is the quarterly journal of the International Australian Studies Association (InASA).
JAS pursues disciplinary diversity, publishing articles from across the full spectrum of humanities fields that critically engage with all aspects of Australia—past, present and future. We particularly welcome work that extends scholarly discussion in new directions and away from rehearsed themes of national identity and debate. We seek to enable and support a diverse and inclusive Australian studies community.
JAS pays its respects to all the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters now called Australia. Sovereignty was never ceded.
The current editors of JAS are Associate Professor Emily Potter (e.potter@ deakin.edu.au) at Deakin University and Dr Brigid Magner ( [email protected]) at RMIT University.
Jon Piccini ( [email protected]) at Australia Catholic University compiles the journal's book reviews.
