"Australian Studies is the journal of the British Australian Studies Association (BASA), which was established in 1982 to bring together individuals and institutions concerned with the study of Australia, and/or the teaching of Australian topics in secondary and tertiary education. ... Australian Studies has a multidisciplinary focus, with an interest in all aspects of Australian experience and endeavour. The journal's particular aim is to foster innovative critical approaches, and to encourage connections between traditionally discrete areas of research."
