This edition of Crossings represents the first in a new series. Each year we will devote the essays section of the final number of Crossings to post-graduate work from one of our Australian studies institutions. Our first instalment represents work from Flinders University edited by InASA's President, Gus Worby.
 
This exciting new initiative gives our graduate students a chance to experience the process of writing for publication, being refereed and, of course, being published. Gus Worby reports on this valuable process in introducing the essays. We will be seeking a volunteer institution for the same feature for Crossings 3/2002.
 
We also bring news of the launch of ASID The Australian Studies International Database, the Austlit database, and the new InASA website. 		And we are delighted to be able to print two notices for Australian Studies positions: the Professorship at Tokyo University and a Lecturing position at the Menzies Centre, King's College, London.
 
Crossings 3/2001 also carries news from Australian Studies Centres in Wales, Thailand, China, Berlin and Australia (proving our internationalism once again!), conference notices for the coming year and recent publications by InASA members.
 
We are particularly pleased to announce a conference in memory of Kay Daniels appropriately on 'The Pasts and Futures of Australian Studies' to be held in October at the University of Newcastle, and next year's InASA conference.
 
On a sadder note, somewhat belatedly we publish an obituary for Professor Anna Rutherford, the great champion of Australian and post-colonial studies in Europe.
