Other Evidence of Impact and Contributions to the Field
Indigenous cultural studies
I have been a pioneer in the field of indigenous cultural studies, moving from discourse analysis and literary studies to cultural studies. My contribution to Australian Cultural Studies more generally has been acknowledged with my promotion to a personal chair in 1993, the first Chair of Cultural Studies in Australia.
Asian cultural studies
I have made a contribution to Asian Cultural Studies as an invited speaker in 1994 at the University of Hawai'i, From the Inside Out: Theorising Pacific Literature; plus in the same year a series of lectures ('Forces of Culture') at Senshu University, Japan; and in 1995 at Trajectories 2: Asian Cultural Studies, Taipei; and in 1998 at the Mahatma Gandhi Institute, Moka, Mauritius, Decolonisation and the Transfer of Power.
International scope
In 2000 I was invited to deliver the Franz Boas lecture in the Anthropology Department at Columbia University, NY, and on the same occasion delivered two papers on the IO (with Devleena Ghosh) at Duke University and New York University.
Research administration and editorial work
I have been a leader in scholarly research and its administration; I have supervised 11 doctoral students, and, in the last 5 years, written 4 books (including one major translation), and 31 chapters and articles. I am the co-ordinating editor of Australia's leading Cultural Studies journal (The Cultural Studies Review, formerly the UTS Review) and I am on the editorial boards of six other scholarly journals.
Writing up
I have been instrumental in developing a new 'genre' of Australian writing, ficto-criticism, and have written the first monograph in the genre, No Road (shortlisted for the NSW Premier's awards) This genre drew the attention of scholars in the US (George Marcus at Rice and Michael Taussig at Columbia) and I was invited to the US to present this work in Houston and New York in 1997. While this genre may not be appropriate for all the writing in the IO project, it is evidence of sustained attention to the medium of communication.
I am a Fellow of the Australian Academy of the Humanities.
