In this anniversary editorial we look back to the early days of the journal as we seek to honour its history and legacy. We outline the contents of the special anniversary features curated for this issue, including a section of shorter articles engaging with Alan Davies’ article on ‘children's outlooks’ in the first issue of the journal; an interview with Professor Fran Collyer about the history of sociology in Australia; and a section featuring six shorter articles by current PhD students engaging with articles from the journal's rich archive. Lastly, we introduce the standard articles also published in this issue: four original articles which all centre Indigenous lives.
