Research Projects
Murdoch University Special Research Grant ($6,425) in 1999 for the project "Re-inventing Australia: Life Narratives and the emergence of new national identities for the 21st century".
Research Record Relative to Opportunities
I had an earlier career as a school teacher of science and mathematics and then�returned to study�literature alongside�parenting commitments and part-time work.�My study culminated in a�PhD in Literature from Melbourne University in 1981 and my first lectureship in 1986. From 1996 I�have been in senior management positions (Pro Vice Chancellor Research, Executive Dean and Pro Vice Chancellor (Regional Development) and have therefore�not had the opportunity to devote as much time to research as�when I was a full-time academic.�However, I am currently recognised by Murdoch University�for my research by inclusion in the Murdoch University Research Academy.
Significant Contributions to this research
The research flows from the pioneering work in the edited book Striking Chords: Multicultural Literary Interpretations that was the first book in Australia on the topic of�the theory and practice of multicultural writing in this country.
