[ANU Pacific.Institute] Call out for submissions to the New Outrigger blog!

[Talei Mangioni]

Bula Vinaka and hope this email finds you well.

This is an email to encourage you and others you may know at the ANU to contribute to the Pacific Institute's ongoing blog, the New Outrigger<https://thenewoutrigger.com/2019/02/21/welcome-to-the-new-outrigger/>.

The New Outrigger offers an online platform for emerging perspectives, research, and commentary on Oceania. As a digital storytelling platform that speaks across geographical and institutional boundaries, we are interested in content that elevates and amplifies the rich and vibrant humanity of the region, its people and cultures in all forms.

The name ‘The New Outrigger’ is a reimagining of the ANU Pacific Institute’s ‘Outrigger’ website. We are interested in submissions that ask critical questions, celebrate Islander culture, and offer creative insights into what it means to know Oceania today. While our scope is expansive, we want to curate stories of cultural resilience and survival, contemplations on place and the environment, identity and everyday life in the islands and in the diaspora, social change, and the role of the arts and cultural heritage.

We’d love to publish:

  *   Analysis/commentary on historical or current events
  *   Field/research notes and research anecdotes
  *   Reflections on Pacific Studies related events or conferences
  *   Biographies of interesting people
  *   Reviews of books, exhibitions, performances
  *   Visual essays or other original artistic works
  *   Short interviews

Academically informed content is great, but you don’t need to be connected to a university to write for us. We encourage submissions that promote unique and informed content that use transdisciplinary, creative and Island(er)-centred lenses. In terms of tone: tell us the interesting stuff, back it up with your expertise, and keep it engaging and accessible.

For more information on writing for us, see our guide for submissions<https://thenewoutrigger.com/submit/>. If you’re on social media you can follow us on Twitter and Facebook.

Should you have any further questions or wish to give a pitch for the blog, please do not hesitate to contact Talei Luscia Mangioni (talei.mangioni at anu.edu.au) who is the current administrator of the blog.

Looking forward to hearing from you all,
