JASAL is a peer-reviewed journal, published in two volumes each year by the
Association for the Study of Australian Literature. One of these volumes is a special conference issue; the other will be put online in installments through the year as material is prepared. JASAL welcomes essays that consider Australian literature in all its forms (fictional, critical, print, filmic, and so on) and in terms of its socio-political and cultural contexts. We encourage readers to become
ASAL members and to visit the
ASAL website for information about conferences and other activities.
