Advancing Knowledge....
On 8 September Monash University ePress became Monash University Publishing and moved to become a single ‘shop-front' for Monash-based publishing operations. Continuing to draw on new developments in digital technology as a platform for serious scholarship, Monash University Publishing will publish exciting and important books and journals by authors from within, as well as outside Monash.
Monash University Publishing was launched the evening of Wednesday September 8 by The Honourable Barry Jones AO, in the Robert Blackwood Hall, Clayton Campus.
Three highlighted titles were launched at the event, including two by School staff:
A Companion to Philosophy in Australia and New Zealand
Edited by Graham Oppy and Nick Trakakis
‘Oppy and Trakakis' judicious and authoritative Companion to Philosophy in Australia and New Zealand plumbs the depths, revealing much that will be news even to Australasian readers. This magnificent achievement outshines even Selwyn Grave's loving 1984 A History of Philosophy in Australia."
Professor Graham Priest, University of Melbourne
Australians in Italy: Contemporary Lives and Impressions (reissue)
Edited by Bill Kent, Ros Pesman and Cynthia Troup
‘Australians in Italy makes an important contribution to an emerging field of study: the Australian diaspora in Europe.'
Dr Catherine Kevin, Flinders University of South Australia
Closing the Gap in Education? Improving Outcomes in Southern World Societies
Edited by llana Snyder and John Nieuwenhuysen
‘Ilana Snyder and John Nieuwenhuysen have put together a fine collection of papers on inclusive education with a southern slant. The material on indigenous education and cultural difference is especially strong. We find ourselves wanting more from these talented contributors.'
Professor Simon Marginson, University of Melbourne
