This issue of Crossings combines the final issue of 2005 (10.3) and the first issue of 2006 (11.1). Yes, I'm afraid to say that pressures of work plus travel commitments have led me to that last refuge of scoundrel editors, the double issue! To celebrate its appearance we've included a special cover image - my own objet trouvé, in a laneway in Edinburgh, but surely a tribute to the late, great Australian poet, John Forbes. We have combined the features which, over the last four or five years ... |

Welcome to the second issue of Crossings, the bulletin of the International Australian Studies Association, for 2005. Following the pattern established over previous years, this edition features Australian Studies in one country outside Australia, our feature this year being Australian Studies in Spain. In addition to reports from the Universities of Barcelona, Oviedo and Zaragoza, we have a report from a Spanish student working towards her PhD in Australian Studies at Southern Cross University in Lismore ... |

Welcome to the first issue of Crossings for 2005. This is a 'bumper' issue with news from around the world about new Australian studies developments and recent events, a number of original essays, and an extraordinary calendar of forthcoming conferences. First let me publicise two InASA 'events'. Last year saw the publication of the collection Thinking Australian Studies: Teaching Across Cultures (UQP 2004).Edited by Kate Darian-Smith, Gus Worby and me, the book contains essays from two InASA conferences plus new commissioned ... |

This issue of Crossings is edited and compiled by staff from the National Centre for Australian Studies, Monash University. Our focus is on current projects that examine racialised identities in Australia, particularly the work of early career researchers. The reasoning for this is that it reflects the guest editors' own fields of interest, as well as allowing Crossings to showcase new and innovative perspectives on the contemporary politics of representing 'other' Australians. |

For this issue -- in a very timely fashion -- we are featuring Australian Studies in the United States of America. Professor Ann Curthoys, Manning Clark Professor of Australian History at the Australian National University, has recently returned from the Australian Studies Visiting Professorship at Georgetown University, and from attending the annual conference of the Australian and New Zealand Studies Association of North America. Ann kindly agreed to guest edit this issue. |

Welcome to the first issue of Crossings for 2004. In this issue we feature the third in our series of post-graduate essays, this year with essays by students from The Australian Centre at The University of Melbourne. Previous issues have featured students from Flinders University and the Australian National University. We also continue or tradition of essays on Australian Indigenous Art, with an illustrated essay by Christine Nicholls on Abie Loy Kemarre, grand-daughter. |

In this issue of Crossings (Volume 8, no. 3), in place of the postgraduate work-in-progress essays which have featured in the final issues of recent years, we publish a number of essays recently presented at a three-day 'masterclass' held in Brisbane and sponsored by the Australian Studies Centre at the University of Queensland. The subject of the masterclass was Territorial Techniques and presentations ranged across a broad cross-disciplinary range of topics in the area of spatial histories. |

This edition of Crossings presents papers from a recent conference organised by InASA and the Australian Studies Centre at the University of Queensland. Participants at the conference came from across Australia and from the UK, China, Taiwan, Japan, and Indonesia. The conference, “Teaching Across Cultures: Australian Studies in an International Context”, addressed the increasingly international contexts in which Australian studies occurs, not only when Australia is being taught overseas, but also in Australia itself where our classrooms often include a majority of international students. |

In this issue we continue our practice of featuring reports on Australian studies in one particular country in the first issue of the year. As a Board member of the Australia-Japan Foundation I'm very pleased this year to be able to feature Japan, with a series of reports and reflections from the Australia-Japan Foundation, from Japanese academics, and from Chilla Bulbeck, the current holder, and Joanne Scott, the previous holder, of the Chair in Australian Studies at Tokyo University. |

As in the final number for last year, in this issue we feature the work of current postgraduate students from one of Australia's 'Australian studies' universities. This year, with the help of Tim Rowse, we present a selection of essays by students based at the Australian National University in Canberra. The range of topics as well as the quality of the essays suggests that Australian studies has a healthily diverse future. |

In this issue we feature a number of papers presented at a recent conference on the Past, Present and Future of Australian Studies. The conference was convened by professor Lyndall Ryan at the Ourimbah (Central Coast) campus of the University of Newcastle in mid-October. The conference honoured the work of the late Kay Daniels, one of the authors of the major report into Australian Studies, Windows onto Worlds (1987). |

In this, the first edition of Crossings for 2002 (Volume 7), we begin a new feature that we hope to continue in the first edition of each year – a special focus on Australian Studies in one particular country. We begin with France, perhaps because it is a country of particular interest to the editor! What we publish below is by no means a complete picture of Australian Studies in France but it certainly gives an indication of some of the key institutions and individuals who are involved. |

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. |

Crossings is delighted to be able to present two essays about contemporary Indigenous art in Australia, both thoroughly grounded in locale but in locales that unexpectedly take us out into the global. Christine Nicholls provides a challenging analysis — and celebration — of the work of Kathleen Petyarre and Maggie Fisher a wonderfully evocative account of artistic activity at Balgo. |
