piece is ‘short commentary’, ‘satire’ or both. Whatever your decision, you will enjoy this paper. Readers will also note the ever-expanding Reviews section. It was the editorial board’s wish that more material be reviewed and this is certainly happening. Of course, the number of book reviews is a function of two things: the number of books we are able to get from publishers, and willing (and timely) reviewers. Volunteers, both suppliers of review material, and reviewers would be gratefully accepted. Please contact me if you would be willing to be a book reviewer. Emails should be addressed to editor@aur.org.au Please include your specific topics of interest. Reviewers retain the books they review. Although a journal called Australian Universities’ Review has a rather obvious focus, universities (and university sectors) in the twenty-first century cannot be insular. Many of the challenges to the modern university, whether located in Australia or overseas, are common to all. AUR therefore seeks material from around the globe. Our newly-internationalised editorial board will assist in our broader mission. Of course, AUR has a larger ‘reach’ than most Australian journals; at present it circulates about 8,000 in hard copy, and is freely available online through its website (www.aur.org.au). Please keep the papers rolling in!
