Junctures
The Journal for Thematic Dialogue


13: unseen
December 2010


Junctures: The Journal for Thematic Dialogue is a multidisciplinary academic journal founded by Otago Polytechnic Te Kura Matatini ki Otago in 2003 as a forum for trans-disciplinary discussion,
analysis, and critique.

Junctures aims to engage discussion across boundaries, whether these are disciplinary, geographic, cultural, social or economic. Each issue of Junctures is organised as a site of encounter around a one-word theme. This allows us to highlight the resonances and disturbances of dialogue. With New Zealand and the Asia-Pacific region as a backdrop, but not its only stage, Junctures seeks to address the matters which concern us all as we negotiate the contemporary environment.

Junctures is fully blind peer reviewed and catalogued on the Ulrichs Periodicals directory, Thomson Gale databases, and in the EBSCO databases: Academic OneFile, Literature Resource
Center and Expanded Academic.
