Anthropology. I became the editor at the beginning of 2009, a time when all
sorts of other changes were occurring. A new editorial board was appointed,
including representatives from Canada, the US, the UK and the Netherlands as
well as anthropologists from several Australian universities. We have moved
from Sydney to Melbourne and are now published by Wiley-Blackwell, as one of
their Anthropology journals. TAJA formerly Mankind is the journal of The
Australian Anthropological Society.
While Canadian anthropologists whose research fields include Australia and
Melanesia have often submitted articles, in keeping with the broadening of
our editorial board, I would like to include more contributions from outside
Australia and on a wider range of subjects. I am especially interested in
articles dealing with Aboriginality and the state a topic that is topical
here as it is in Canada, and one which can often become parochial. The
similarities and differences between Australia and Canada can provide
perspectives that broaden this debate, within Anthropology more generally
and in both countries.
As editor I would like also to encourage early-career researchers to submit
papers for publication. More information is available on the website (see
below). I invite interested authors to contact me personally.
If you could forward this to anyone whom you think might be interested, I¹d
greatly appreciate it.
Yours,
Martha Macintyre
