Publications :
Volume 55 of ASECS’s quarterly journal Eighteenth-Century Studies – edited by the new team of Ramesh Mallipeddi and managing editor Oliver Bedard, both of University of British Columbia, Vancouver – contained 25 articles and 39 reviews. This volume covered an impressive array of diverse topics and methodologies, with particular focus on new technologies and methodological considerations, particularly in regards to research into race and sexuality.
Studies in Eighteenth-Century Culture, Vol. 50, appeared in the summer of 2022 and was the first volume edited by the new editing team David Brewer (Ohio State University), editor, and Crystal Lake (Wright State University). As Brewer and Lake observe in their introduction, the journal serves as ASECS’s “very own journal of the plague year,” and we celebrate the authors in this volume who helped remind us of the vibrant scholarship in our field emerging even amidst a pandemic.

Australian and New Zealand Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies
Publications :

The activities of ANZSECS continue to revolve around our major conference, the David Nichol Smith Seminar. As noted in the 2021 report, the 2017 conference produced a volume of selected papers: “Spaces of Enlightenment: From Domestic Scenes to Global Visions,” edited by Peter Denney and Lisa O'Connell, papers from the Sixteenth David Nichol Smith Seminar, Eighteenth-Century Life (September 2021) vol. 45, no. 3. https://read.dukeupress.edu/eighteenth-century-life/article/45/3/1/174268/Spaces-of-Enlightenment-From-Domestic-Scenes-to A second edited publication, focussing on art, garden, and architectural history, also emerged from the 2017 conference: Making Ideas Visible in the Eighteenth Century, edited by Jennifer Milam and Nicola Parsons (University of Delaware Press, 2022). https://udpress.udel.edu/book-title/making-ideas-visible/ Another special number of Eighteenth-Century Life, containing papers from the 2020 conference ‘Dark Enlightenments’, is under way.

Congrès/Congresses :
The 18th David Nichol Smith Seminar was held from 7-9 December 2022 at Australian Catholic University (ACU) in Melbourne.  It was convened by Professor Kate Fullagar, Dr Killian Quigley and Dr Kristie Flannery.  The theme for the conference was ‘Marine Worlds of the Long Eighteenth Century.’ It was the first eighteenth-century event in the region to address the “blue humanities.”
The focus is especially on exploring experiences, knowledges and spaces of the sea and the undersea, 1650-1850. We will be open to work on any marine world, though perhaps will emphasise Global South subjects. We are most keen to highlight and interrogate how the 'blue humanities,' and environmental humanities in general, are reshaping the study of eighteenth-century worlds across disciplines. For more details see ANZSECS annual report.
The conference was blessed with superb keynote lectures from Prof Sasha Handley (Manchester), Prof Kate Fullagar (Australian Catholic University), Assoc Prof Eugenia Zuroski (McMaster) and the winner of the DNS2020 ECR Keynote competition, Dr Freya Gowrely (Bristol).
--
As part of the 18th David Nichol Smith Seminar, a public lecture was hosted by the Australian Catholic University, featuring a presentation by Professor Lynette Smith (Monash) on ‘Global Encounters and Marine Worlds.’
