June 30, 2025Obituary

Dr. Richard Haese (1944-2025) – an Appreciation People of note have always recognized Dr. Richard Haese’s talents. The late art historian Professor Virginia Spate of Sydney University and the late historian Professor James A.

June 15, 2025Call for Papers

Cries from the Anthropocene: How might we respond? According to the Macquarie Dictionary, to cry is to “utter inarticulate sounds, esp. of lamentation, grief, or suffering; usu. with tears.” To cry is also “to give forth vocal sounds or characteristic calls, as animals.” A further meaning is “to call out”. This theme follows from previous research themes, “Listening to the Anthropocene” and “Crevice Communities”.
