PUBLICATION SERIES |

During 2005 and 2006, NEER successfully negotiated two new book series to cover aspects of its research. The Editorial Boards of both series include the Publications Officer of the NEER Management Committee and other NEER participants, as well as selected Australian and international scholars. |
LONG HISTORIESUWA Press (a NEER industry partner) has agreed to support a book series entitled Long Histories. The series will be a new and significant site of intellectual exchange amongst the various fields of Australian studies, medieval and early modern European studies, and the history of cultural translation and transmission. Books in the series will be based on scholarly research but made accessible and attractive to a wide audience of non-specialist readers. NEER and UWA Press are currently seeking lively illustrated studies of the long European influence in Australia and its transformations, within designated areas relevant to NEER's broad interests. For NEER’s purposes the ‘early modern’ period is taken to cover Australia until 1850, and its research interests cover later Australian cultural appropriations of early Europe up to the present day.

EARLY EUROPEAN RESEARCHIn 2006 NEER and Brepols Publishers, Belgium, agreed to launch a refereed book series mainly covering the period 1200-1650 entitled Early European Research. An international editorial board has been formed and selected volumes accepted in the series will be co-published with UWA Press to ensure good distribution in Australasia Early European Research is a series that explores the way that key elements of late-medieval and early-modern European society (ca. 1200-1650) both shape and challenge contemporary Western society. In particular, the series looks at the social fabric of that earlier society (examining issues such as the European family model, gender and social structures; how it dealt with conflict, peace and war; how it treated social cohesion, social capital and poverty), and at changing approaches to science and medicine, and ways of treating the environment and alien cultures. Enquires and preliminary proposals for discussion should be directed to one of the series editors, Andrew Lynch (alynch@cyllene.uwa.edu.au) or Claire McIlroy (cmcilroy@cyllene.uwa.edu.au). |
