Junctures: 12: island
June 2009

Junctures: The Journal for Thematic Dialogue is peer-reviewed and published two times
a year in December and June by Otago Polytechnic/Te Kura Matatini ki Otago, Dunedin,
New Zealand.

Junctures aims to engage discussion across boundaries, whether these be disciplinary or
geographic. It is concerned with views surrounding issues of location, isolation, creativity and
ingenuity. With New Zealand and its Pacific neighbours as a backdrop, but not its only stage,
Junctures seeks to address the matters which concern people in their environment and daily
life. Junctures is organised around thematic foci which allow the convergence of disciplines
around a nominated topic.

Junctures is indexed in the EBSCO and Thomson Gale databases as well as the Ulrichs
Periodical Directory.
