I have been at the forefront of English, Communications and Cultural Studies (formerly Department of English) and the Faculty of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences (formerly Faculty of Arts) in developing links with international universities. In 1987-88 I was invited to the National University of Singapore as a visiting scholar, and I have made a number of subsequent visits to NUS, including as a visiting writer to the Centre for the Arts in 1997. In 1993 I was invited to the Prince of Songkla University, Thailand where I gave lectures on English Literature and Creative Writing to staff and helped them in developing a Master of Arts programme in literary studies, and I made another visit there to check teaching in the programme in 1995. In 1994 I gave invited lectures on Australian Literature at the Tianjin Foreign Studies University and the Tianjin Normal University. I was invited to visit the University of Bologna in 1995 and 1998, 2000 and again in 2002 to give papers and specialist lectures on Australian Literature. I was invited for meetings and lectures to the Universities of Strasbourg, Barcelona, Leida, Tarragona and Madrid in late-1999, and in 2000 to the Universities of Bologna and Cambridge. These meetings resulted in development of the agreement with Bologna and of new agreements with Strasbourg and Cambridge. In 1998 I taught an innovative honours unit with staff from NUS, using the world wide web, email and video-conferencing. I served on the Study Abroad Scholarship Committee from its inception in 1998 until 2001, and from 1995-97 managed the Faculty of Arts Study Abroad Scholarships. In 2000 I held a visiting professorship at RWTH-Aachen (funded by the German Government) and a By-fellowship (a research fellowship) at Churchill College, University of Cambridge. I have also lectured at Churchill College, the University of Trier (Germany), the University of Madras (India), the Italo-Britannica Association (Italy), and many other international institutions.
In editing Westerly since 1985 I have been responsible for all aspects of Western Australia's most prestigious cultural magazine, from grant applications to writing references for writers applying for individual writers' grants. I have steered the journal, which has won $28,000 - $43,000 of external grants every year, through changes in editors, policy and format. I conceived the idea of annual special issues, and have now prepared over fifty issues of the magazine. I organised the use of a team of international editorial referees; it should be noted that Westerly is one of the most highly regarded journals in its field and is indexed in all the major international humanities bibliographies. I also have considerable experience as Director of the Westerly Centre (formerly Centre for Studies in Australian Literature), a very active research centres at The University of Western Australia. This experience includes the administration of residencies by visiting scholars, the organisation of seminars and conferences, the co-ordination of an advisory committee, communications with schoolteachers, and the editing and publishing of a number of scholarly books. Books I have seen through the press as a senior advisory editor include Ian Saunders's Open Texts/Partial Maps: A Literary Theory Handbook, Amanda Nettelbeck's Provisional Maps: Essays on David Malouf, and Bill Ashcroft's study of Francis Webb, The Gimbals of Unease. I have convened three international conferences (the World Conference of International PEN, and the Biennial Conference on Literature and Culture in the Asia-Pacific twice) and one national conference (of the Association for the Study of Australian Literature), winning grants and undertaking full organisation (with colleagues).
I have supervised 20 Masters and PhD students to successful completion, and I currently supervise 6 postgraduates, with another 1 currently being examined. I regularly examine theses for other universities; in recent years I have acted as Examiner for Master's and PhD theses from La Trobe University, University of Sydney, the University of Melbourne, the University of Queensland, Curtin University of Technology and others,
In 1994 I agreed to the request (first made in 1990) of the National Library of Australia to purchase my literary papers and manuscripts. Since 2000 I have given my papers to the Reid Library, UWA (at their request).
