Editor’s note: Janette-Susan Bailey
The editing of this volume is tinged with sadness at the passing of one of the contributing authors, Janette-Susan Bailey. With a PhD from the University of New South Wales, Australia, and a combined Honours degree in Film, Theatre and Performance Studies and Environmental Studies, Janette’s work exemplifies the very best of environmental history in her cross-disciplinary approaches to historical research. Those wanting to read more of Janette’s work can do so in Dust Bowl: Depression America to World War Two Australia (Palgrave Macmillan, forthcoming).
