1/At Macquarie Uni we are losing 50% of our units in my faculty. This is on top of cuts in 2020. We estimate by next year my faculty will be teaching 80% fewer subjects than pre Covid. Disciplines being cut do not have declining enrolments. @jennaprice.bsky.social @michaelwestbiz.bsky.social

The University of Melbourne English and Theatre Studies Statement on the closure of Meanjin.

12 September 2025
The University of Melbourne English and Theatre Studies Statement on the closure of Meanjin. 12 September 2025 Melbourne University's English and Theatre Studies Programme calls on the University of Melbourne to act on its educational mission and find a way to support Meanjin, one of Australia’s most precious cultural institutions. For generations Meanjin has offered established and emerging writers a home for testing talent, fostering debate, and exploring ideas. But Meanjin needs no defence. It speaks for itself. It speaks for its former publisher as well: that Meanjin is the only publication cited—twice—on MUP’s “About Us” page is evidence enough that it carries much of the literary prestige to which the press can lay claim. The decision of Melbourne University Publishing’s Board to close Meanjin involved no consultation with those of us at the University of Melbourne most invested in its past and its future. The only rationale offered by the Board—that the decision was taken “on purely financial grounds”—is, as others have noted, both inexplicable and an act of "cultural vandalism.” It is also a betrayal of the University’s role as an educator, enricher and supporter of cultural life. Meanjin has a value that cannot and should not be measured in financial terms. A way forward can and must be found that allows Meanjin to continue its important work, in consultation with the University’s most affected communities, disciplines, and concentrations of expertise—including creative writing, literature and theatre studies, publishing and editing. We call on the University of Melbourne’s leadership and the board of Melbourne University Publishing to work together to preserve Meanjin’s future on grounds that take into account its ongoing cultural value, whether in Naarm or Meanjin. Dr Sarah Balkin, A/Prof Justin Clemens, Prof Deirdre Coleman, Dr Sara Fernandes Crouch, Dr Michael Falk, Dr Lindsay Goss, Dr Margaret Harvey, Dr Joe Hughes, Dr Ryan Johnson, Dr Jessica Marian, Prof David McInnis, Dr Beth McLean, Dr Marc Mierowsky, Dr Lynda Ng, Prof Peter Otto, Dr Elliot Patsoura, Prof Paul Rae, Dr Miranda Stanyon, Dr Mairi Stirling Hill, Prof Stephanie Trigg, Prof Clara Tuite, Prof Denise Varney

Re #MeanjinJournal, a letter from myself and some of my colleagues to The University of Melbourne. #Meanjin is such an important part of Australia's literary ecosystem and losing it would be culturally and industrially devastating. #AusLit #AustralianWriters #Publishing #Unimelb
1 / 1 Letter in support of Meanjin’s future As members of the Publishing and Communications program’s staff at the University of Melbourne, we strongly support the continued existence of Meanjin Quarterly. From direct involvements with the journal during the past 25 years and more, we personally attest to the formative role Meanjin has played in the development of writers, editors and publishers, and an independent Australian cultural voice. The creative labour of thousands resonates deeply in the fabric of this cultural institution founded by Clem Christesen in Meanjin/Brisbane in 1940. We call on the University of Melbourne to recognise the rich and continuing social, political and literary value of Meanjin by ensuring its future. The journal is a living resource for our teaching, and vital to our students. Its publications fill our reading lists with ideas from the best minds of our time. It has uplifted many of our students through publication, internships, partnerships and employment, and its connection to the University is part of what makes our writing and editing programs valuable and comparable to other leading universities on the international stage. We believe the University’s enduring purpose of benefiting society compels it to take swift action to preserve the journal and sustain its continued publication, preferably within the University itself. At the very least, the University should do all it can, acting in good faith, to transfer the journal’s cultural and IP assets to another institution prepared to save it. Culturally, the University of Melbourne has benefited immensely from its support of the journal since 1945; the extinction of the journal would be its enduring loss but an even greater loss to the community the University serves.

@quaritch1847.bsky.social's new catalogue of annotated books might just be the greatest bookseller's catalogue of all time. Just sayin'.

Take a moment to appreciate the fun they clearly had:

If Shakespeare had named other plays the way he named The Two Gentlemen of Verona and The Two Noble Kinsmen:

The Two Teenagers of Verona
The Two Sisters of Padua
The Two Guys in a Pie
The Two Twins (...and Another Two)
The Two Henrys
The Two Friends and Three Witches
