1 y separately published work icon Australia : Who Cares? David Callahan (editor), Perth : API Network , 2007 Z1565017 2007 anthology criticism Who, in Australia, is doing the caring, and how encouraging are the examples of caring that Australia gives us? Australia-Who Cares? examines these questions from a variety of perspectives and incorporates discussion of immigration and asylum seekers, Indigenous Australians, multiculturalism and the environment, and the representation of these issues in photography, media, literature, law, and policy. Underpinning these considerations is the question of Australia itself: what makes this country what it is? This collection recasts some of the thorniest debates that the nation is presently faced with in terms of caring or, as a number of the chapters uncover, not caring. Surprising and thought-provoking, this collection will inspire debate and reflection on what it means to be Australian.

1 y separately published work icon Life Writing Maureen Perkins (editor), Mary Besemeres (editor), 2004 Perth : API Network Curtin University of Technology , 2004- Z1135195 2004 periodical (44 issues)

'Life Writing is one of the leading journals in the field of biography and autobiography. It has the unique and unusual policy of carrying both scholarly articles and critically informed personal narrative. The journal has three sections: Academic Articles, Reflections and Reviews. Reflections essays differ from academic articles in that we do not expect a high level of analysis and referencing. We do, however, expect that the reflexive "I" will filter the subject matter, and that on the continuum from discursive/analytical to creative, these essays will fall somewhere in the middle. In other words, we do not publish purely creative essays, ficto-criticism, or memoirs; we include essays which fall into the genre of autoethnography. 

'The journal aims to publish work from many disciplines as well as work that is interdisciplinary. Historically, life writing has been the preserve of literary studies. Now, however, many other perspectives use biography and autobiography as analytical tools, hence object biography, autoethnography, autofiction, and many other inter-generic codes are thriving.  Life Writing provides expert and sympathetic reviewing of such interdisciplinary work.
