'As its name implies, Queensland Review is a review of Queensland: its past, present, and, where speculation is appropriate, its future. It aims to provide a forum for researchers in a wide variety of disciplines in the humanities and social sciences where their work can be presented and judged; and in the process, act as a springboard for new understandings of Queensland's culture and society. In so doing, Queensland Review wants to establish Queensland as a legitimate and important field of research, both within the academic arena and for non-academic researchers. Indeed, one of the functions of the journal is to encourage connections between academic and independent researchers and to explore links between research and policy across a range of fields.'
