'With one small change—from ‘2020’ to ‘2021’—I can begin my introduction to this year’s issue of Humanities Australia in the same words as last year: ‘This year, 2020, has been a tumultuous year for the world to which Australia has added its own particular troubles and concerns.’ I then went on to mention the bushfires, the emergence of Covid-19 with its threats to lives and livelihoods (including in the arts and universities), heightened tensions with China, renewed attention to Indigenous disadvantage (highlighted by the Black Lives Matter movement) and government funding proposals that called into question the value of key humanities disciplines. Thankfully, there have not been the same mega-bushfires (although the threat of bushfires exacerbated by climate change is still very much there) but the other troubles of last year remain, albeit with a change of emphasis. Covid-19 has dominated this year to a greater extent even than last but Indigenous disadvantage, tensions with China and questions about the value and status of the humanities and of the arts remain.'
