The Mill: The History of a Brief Theatrical Experiment with a Long Tail has been awarded an ADSA publication subsidy on the basis of its documentation of an important regional, community theatre company, The Mill Community Theatre Project, established by James McCaughey in Geelong, Victoria in 1978. Meredith Rogers' manuscript has been accepted for publication by Australian Scholarly Publishing Pty. Ltd. The Mill places the company in the wider context of national and international movements in the 1970s and early 1980s that identified art and artists as agents of for cultural transformation. McCaughey's particular vision for the company of an approach to community engagement that was process-based and inclusive as well as artistically excellent and innovative is a vital element of this excellent documentation.

Performing Indigenous Culture on Stage and Screen: A Harmony of Frenzy is judged to be a very significant and valuable contribution to the documenting of the history of the performing arts in New Zealand in the period of the 1860s –1920s. It has been accepted by Palgrave for publication. Dr Stuart Young has noted that very little, if any, research on Māori and Pākehā collaborations has been documented from the time being researched. Performing Indigenous Cultures on Stage and Screen: A Harmony of Frenzy offers an intriguing set of chapters, each addressing performative events impacting on issues of identity creation within New Zealand indigenous cultures. It has the potential for a solid readership across a range of academic fields.
