Foreword by Katherine Brabon
An alienated daughter reconnects with her mother. A woman questions her reality as she struggles to recognise herself. An awkward car ride home from the airport leads to reconciliation. A family enjoys a lavish meal together.
From the moment we are brought into this world we are seeking connections, seeking love, seeking belonging. It is as fundamental to the human existence as breathing, and yet, is something we all struggle so despairingly with. We spend so long trying to fit in, that we neglect to see the connections twining us all together.
Nothing Rhymes with Orange is a moving anthology that offers contemporary meditations on the complexities of belonging. This diverse collection of short stories, personal essays and poems is sure to tug on your heart strings and challenge your understanding of what it means to belong.

Foreword by Shankari Chandran
All lives have two things in common: they begin and they end.
But within each life, there are thousands of little openings and little closings, all happening at once. The day you make the decision to move abroad; the moment a relationship comes to a close; the choice that changes the course of life as you know it. Through many twists and turns, from one passion, one person, one experience to the next, we live not just once, not even twice, but as many times as we may wish. A collection of diverse and unique voices, the stories in Living Twice will take you on a journey through intriguing prologues and fulfilling epilogues. This anthology cradles the expressions of life itself: the rollercoaster that is growing up; experiences of loving and of being loved; and the hope we hold for new beginnings.

Who were the Celts? Over two thousand years ago the Celts were the most numerous and powerful people of the western and central Europe. They were united by language, lifestyle, a love of heroes and a distinctive art which continues to please. Even though much of their culture was eroded by the Roman Empire, Celtic languages, music and poetry survive to this day in Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Brittany.
The long history, and prehistory of the various Celtic groups can be reconstructed by combining archaeological, linguistic and historical evidence. This book presents the results of the most recent research and analyses both the cultural unity and the historical diversity of the Celtic world in the millennium 500BC– AD500.
This book is written for the general public but its copious illustrations, maps, glossary and reading list make it useful for teachers and students at secondary and tertiary levels.

“From where does joy arise, and to where does it go?”– James Puterflam
The movie that you can rely on to brighten your spirits.
The hobby, place, or person that never fails to make a bad day feel that little bit better.
The desire to hold tightly to what we love, the things we believe in, is so uniquely human that it binds us all together.
But it is these simple pleasures that make us who we are.
In a world of chaos, complications and controversy, it is these thoughts that calm, cultivate and connect. These pages contain the scribbles of pleasure, a look into the simplest of joys, the wildest of passions, found in the moments in between.
“You need only turn around the corner to find it. Just where you left it.” – Vanessa Vu

Our world is built around the people, groups and communities we surround ourselves with. They form networks of connections, beliefs and ideas that can help to shape the people we become. These networks have become vital in a time where lockdowns have pushed us apart, and reinforced the need to be a part of something whole.
This anthology examines the ways we find joy in lockdown, keep people and places alive through memory, and search for connection in an increasingly digital age. Featuring poetry, short stories and visual art, it introduces bold new voices that will command your attention and prompt you to think differently about the relationships that make everyday life worthwhile.

From the late nineteenth century, academic disciplines emerged in universities, marking boundaries of knowledge, teaching and research. Education became a transnational academic discipline, developing across Britain, Europe and North America and providing a foundation for the teaching profession.
Educated in Edinburgh, Alexander Mackie was influenced by German idealist philosophy and by progressive views of teaching drawn from the United States. He carried his academic values across the Empire when he was appointed the inaugural principal of լе Teachers’ College and professor of education at the University of լе.
For almost four decades, Mackie struggled to sustain education as an academic discipline and teaching as an autonomous profession. Failing health hindered his efforts, but many of his values were passed on to his children. Grounded in their father’s educational philosophy, Mackie’s daughter, Margaret, and son, John, became academics, engaging with the transnational postwar worlds of inquiry and research.

Climate change is here, and how we react in the present will alter the course of the future; we can no longer deny that this is a key challenge for our times. Over the past two years, Australia has seen its worst bushfire season in recorded history, extreme floods and a global pandemic that brought about a renewed appreciation of nature.
The contributors to this anthology tell powerful stories of devastation and hope. From chilling predictions of the future, to tree conservation movements in India, to an exchange between Siri and Alexa on environmental sustainability, writers and artists from the լе University community have come together to give voice to experiences of climate change, nature and the environment.
It’s never been more important to keep the conversation alive.
