Announcing the 2019 Publication Subsidy Scheme recipients

We are delighted to announce the recipients of this year’s Publication Subsidy Scheme (PSS). Established in 1970, it is one our longest-standing initiatives assisting Australian scholars with the costs associated with publishing high-quality humanities research.

The forthcoming publications from this year’s recipients, to be published by major presses both within Australia and internationally, span a number of humanities disciplines and cover topics ranging from editorial style in modern England, to the history of women’s football, to 19^th century photography and Australia’s response to asylum seekers.

Through the applications, the Awards Committee have noted an increasing trend in the number of international publishing houses producing Australian-based humanities research.  Committee member Professor Terri-ann White FAHA, Director of UWA Publishing,  remarked “while this is an excellent outcome for Australian research to be recognised and published internationally, it does raise complications of offshore books and the costs of making them available to an Australian market. This is where our Publication Subsidy Scheme can provide immense value in supporting local printing and distribution.”
