Fijian Studies Journal

The Fiji Institute of Applied Studies is pleased to announce the establishment of the Fijian Studies: A Journal of Contemporary Fiji. The bi-annual journal will be published in May and November of each year. The journal will aim to publish scholarly articles and reviews on Fiji. Contributions will be welcome on any subject, and from disciplinary as well as interdisciplinary perspectives as well as those of a theoretical nature, provided they deal with contemporary Fijian issues in the broad field of humanities and the social sciences. All articles published in the journal will be refereed.

The journal will also have a Dialogue/Talanoa section devoted to debates, commentaries and interviews with scholars, public figures and policy makers on issues relevant to contemporary Fiji. The intention is to foster an informed discussion and dialogue on sensitive or controversial issues from a wide range of people and perspectives.

Reviews section will feature reviews of books, conference proceedings, workshops, documentaries and other audiovisual material which deal with some aspect of Fijian history, culture, society and economy.

Authors are invited to submit papers for consideration by the journal. All papers must be the original work of the author(s), and not under consideration by any other publisher. 'Notes for Authors' is included in this announcement.
