What I’m Reading
Meanjin acknowledges with deep respect that we work on the sovereign lands of the Turrbul and Yugara people. Contributors to Meanjin live and work on sovereign First Nations country all over Australia. Meanjin was founded by Clem Christesen in Brisbane in 1940 and was based in Naarm (Melbourne) from 1945. In February 2026, custodianship of Meanjin was transferred to the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) in Magandjin (Brisbane).
