The editors welcome contributions on any aspect of rural social issues in Australia and New Zealand, including: rural sociology, rural service delivery, technology transfer, rural policy issues and rural social change. Articles dealing with rural and regional issues in other societies are welcome but must demonstrate relevance and applicability to rural and regional themes in Australia and New Zealand.
