> Call for Papers
>
> Recent scholarship on transnational and global history has emphasised the
> importance of connections, movements, flows and circulation, between
> communities, ideas and places. To date, the Indian Ocean has been
> relatively underexplored, particularly in connection with Western
> Australia. This book will attempt to redress this lacuna in the
> scholarship through the collection of papers that apply an historical
> approach to the theme of 'Indian Ocean Connections' in the broadest
> possible sense. We welcome proposals on topics such as exploration,
> imperialism, colonisation, diaspora, and environment.
>
> The collection will be co-edited by Assoc. Professor Jeremy Martens, who
> specialises in South African, African and British imperial history; Dr
> Cecilia Leong-Salobir, an historian of colonial foodways and European
> empires in Asia; and Ruth Morgan, who focuses on Australian environmental
> history.
>
> Since 1977, the refereed journal Studies in Western Australian History has
> been published under this title by the Centre for Western Australian
> History at the University of Western Australia.
> It originated from the journal University Studies in History and
> Economics, which was first published by UWA in 1934.
> This volume on 'Indian Ocean Connections' will mark a new chapter for
> Studies in Western Australian History, as it will be re-launched as a book
> series. We invite contributors to share in this exciting opportunity.
>
> The editors anticipate convening a small workshop to be held at The
> University of Western Australia in late 2012 to bring the contributors
> together to discuss the collection and its progress.
>
> To apply, please submit a CV and brief description of your proposed
> article (300 to 600 words) to cwah@arts.uwa.edu.au by Friday, 27 July
> 2012. The editors anticipate the collection will be published in late
> 2013.
