Welcome to the 2020 edition of GMJ/AU in an issue dedicated to the work of our postgraduate students ably guest-edited by Myra Gurney and Roger Dawkins. This follows a tradition of GMJ/AU’s commitment to the provision of publishing opportunities for postgraduate students who have presently previously to the annual postgraduate HDR conference in 2019: Interventions and Intersections: Making Research Count. This is a compelling group of papers that span a range of topics that characterise academic research in the School of Humanities and Communication Arts.

We include an additional article by John Budarick from the University of Adelaide and thank him for submitting his research on ethnic media and migrant settlement to our journal.

My thanks go out to Myra and Roger for their stellar leadership in editing this issue, to webmaster Roman Goik and to all others who have contributed to the success of this issue in the rather uncertain atmosphere of our lives and livelihoods during the pandemic of 2020.
