EMPLOYMENT HISTORY: 2010-2016

Senior Lecturer/Postgraduate Programme Leader Department of Communication Studies, Unitec, Auckland, New Zealand I joined Unitec at the beginning of October 2010 to take up a position as senior lecturer, with a separate short term contract as Postgraduate Programme Leader running concurrently. I renewed my contract as Programme Leader until the beginning of second semester 2013 and have acted in that position on a number of occasions since then. As Programme Leader my duties involved working closely with the Head of Department and members of the postgraduate team on re-modelling our Masters’ and Postgraduate Diploma offerings in consultation with external stakeholders. I represented the department on a number of faculty and institutional committees, including our Department’s Research Students’ Approvals committee and the Unitec Postgraduate Research and Scholarship Committee. I have continued to research and publish on a range of issues on the Middle East, the Pacific and New Zealand. My most recent presentation was a paper on the role of the Tongan diasporic media in Auckland in the 2014 Tongan elections given to the European Society for Oceanists’ conference in Brussells. I was subsequently invited to join the ESfO board as the representative for the Pacific. My teaching duties since joining Unitec have involved teaching International and Political Communication at the postgraduate level and International Communication to the undergraduate programme. These courses use media analysis to explore how a range of media theories and practices work in specific global situations, with a strong emphasis on issues such as the Millenium Development Goals, global warming, human rights and projections of soft and hard power by regional governments. I also teach News Writing and research skills to undergraduates. I have successfully moved to have digital media built into the options for postgraduate theses and have introduced a digital media presentation to the undergraduate International communication course. I contribute to a number of other courses within the department and my knowledge of the Arab media has been used in presentations on media representations of Arabs and Islam to our Intercultural Communication Global Communication classes. I have acted as supervisor and associate supervisor of a number of MA students in our postgraduate programme, most recently with students researching a sexual health project in Laos, Chinese diasporic media in New Zealand and digital newspapers in Vietnam. I also supervise undergraduate research students. I helped organise the 2014 Pacific Journalism Review 20th anniversary conference and was joint editor of the subsequent book of the conference. This year I am helping to organise a conference on journalism education in the Pacific that will precede the World Journalism Education Congress meeting in Auckland. In 2014 my book Press, Politics and People in Papua New Guinea 1950-75 was published by Unitec e-press. It has been the subject of a story and interview on Radio Australia and was described by a recent review as having “much to offer university courses in journalism, history and social science methodology.” In 2013 I was invited to contribute a survey of the media in Australia’s external territories to the prestigious Companion to the Australian Media. I have acted as external course moderator and thesis examiner for Auckland University of Technology, Auckland University and the University of Queensland. I have acted as a reader for papers submitted to the Pacific Journalism Review , Contemporary Papua New Guinea Studies and the New Zealand Journal of Asian Studies and for conferences in Sydney and Auckland.

I correspond with other researchers on Pacific and Middle East matters in the United States and the Middle East. Because of my research on the early press in the United Arab Emirates I have been consulted by the author researching an official history of Al Bayan newspaper in Dubai. In 2015 I was invited by Koc University in Istanbul to contribute a section on Papua New Guinea to an EU-funded project, “Regimes of Ethnicity: A Global Database of Ethnic Demography and Survey of State Policies on Ethnicity."

College of Applied Science, Nizwa, Sultanate of Oman Assistant Professor 2009-10

To round off a decade in the Arabian Gulf I took up a short term contract as Assistant Professor at the College of Applied Science in Nizwa at the beginning of October, 2009, teaching in a communications and journalism programme designed by Auckland University of Technology. In my first semester I taught media ethics, theory and a survey course on the media in Oman. I also taught a range of theoretical media courses to advanced level students. In my second semester I was course leader for Global Media Studies. After teaching in the COAS summer semester in 2010 I accepted a position at Unitec Institute of Technology in Auckland, New Zealand.

Zayed University, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates 2000-2009: Assistant Professor/Assistant Dean. I joined Zayed University in August 2000 after completing my contract at Teesside University. I was a member of what was then a small unit tasked with establishing the College of Communications and Media Sciences at the Abu Dhabi campus of Zayed University, a new institution founded to make tertiary education available to Emirati women and to promote long term social change by producing a body of educated and working women. Zayed University was based on the American liberal arts college model. I initially concentrated on teaching writing and print production. Because the university was new and because much of the material prepared by outside consultants was culturally unsuitable I and my colleagues wrote or rewrote many of the course outlines from scratch. At the beginning of 2003 I was asked to become Assistant Dean. My duties included leading half a dozen faculty and staff, liaising with other colleges within the university and collaborating with the CCMS college on ZU’s Dubai campus, allocating resources, designing the timetable and representing the college on university committees and meetings with visitors and foreign dignitaries. I was also responsible for overall supervision of the academic progress of our students, which meant keeping track of students at various stages in college and pre-college courses. I served as Acting Dean on a number of occasions. While I was Assistant Dean I continued to teach a full course load and gradually began to move from my original focus on writing and print production to advanced courses on law, film criticism and comparative journalism. At my suggestion, Dean Keefer authorised the conversion of one of our faculty offices into a television studio and I prompted our video lecturer to develop a regular student news programme. ZUTV was subsequently streamed on the university intranet. During this period I worked on two university-funded research projects. The first was a large group project which examined the press coverage of the initial period of the US invasion of Iraq and compared it with the press coverage of the Second Intifada in Palestine by Arabic and American newspapers. The research sought to determine whether the physical placement of stories and

4

photographs in English-language and Arabic newspapers reflected equal treatment for the two stories and whether the papers being examined explicitly linked the Intafada with the invasion. I worked with the late Dr Jack Barwind to prepare our findings for presentation to the Arab-United States Association for Communication Education conference in Cairo in November 2004. In January and February 2004 I accompanied Professor Badran Badran to New Zealand to examine similarities between the Arabic majlis and the Maori marae as social centres for decision making and communication. This research reflected the often unexpected historical, personal and cultural links between the Gulf and the Pacific. Professor Badran and I presented our findings at a university research seminar and used our findings to inform our teachings in a variety of areas. During the invasion of Iraq I provided material for the Times Higher Education Supplement’s online news pages. I stepped down from the position of Assistant Dean at the end of the Spring 2007 semester in order to give myself time to complete my doctoral thesis. This was awarded in November 2008. During the 2007-2008 academic year I helped the new Assistant Dean settle in and introduced him to Zayed University’s academic and administrative environment. My teaching duties in this period encompassed a broad range of courses, including Media Law and Ethics, Writing for Advertising and Public Relations, Media Writing One and Two, the college’s introductory course, independent study courses and Film Criticism. These courses ranged from very particular, industry skills courses such as Media Writing to Media Law and Ethics, which examined ideas of the media, law and ethical behaviour inside a broad historical, cultural and social context that took in everything from the Code of Hammurabi to internet censorship in the UAE. The Film Criticism course was taught in a number of forms, ranging from a study of Hollywood genres to a semester devoted to Australian, New Zealand and Pacific films. I also supervised a practicum in which students were introduced to the basics of sound recording and editing using Garageband and Audacity as part of a long-term plan to establish a podcasting service for the ZU intranet. A basic version was put up on the university intranet as a ‘proof of concept’ at the end of the 2007-2008 academic year. In the fall 2008 semester I also advised students preparing a podcast on Abu Dhabi for a major project in tourism studies. My other duties included academic supervision of a number of students and serving as the college’s representative on the university’s Faculty Affairs Committee. My research and writing in this period was dominated by the completion of my doctoral thesis under the supervision of Professor Denis Cryle and Dr Steve Mullins at CQU. This was a multi-disciplinary study of the role of the press in reporting political developments in Papua New Guinea from the re-establishment of the Australian administration after the war to independence. It drew on elements of media, colonial, political and missionary history, language, anthropology and developmental journalism.

Teesside University, United Kingdom 1997-2000: Principal Lecturer. I joined Teesside University in Middlesbrough to head the university’s BA (Hons) (Journalism) programme, which was run in conjunction with Darlington College of Technology. My initial duties involved writing and introducing university level courses to the degree programme. I liaised with our colleagues in Darlington and with faculty from other departments at Teesside University who contributed to the course. In 1998 I initiated publication of The Coranto, a multi-media newspaper written by journalism students. I added a short course in television news production to the syllabus and designed a media production course for the university’s IT students, which was extremely popular. Unfortunately, the Teesside programme collapsed due to irreconcilable differences between the upper management of the two institutions and only one cohort was

5

taught before the programme was terminated. Our external reviewer lamented that the end of the programme came just as it was beginning to fulfil its potential. While at Teesside I presented papers on media history and contemporary affairs at a number of conferences within the UK and on the role of Tok Pisin as a language of national identity to the European Society of Oceanists’ in the Netherlands. I published several journal articles and was asked to join the editorial advisory board of Pacific Journalism Review. While in the UK I also contributed articles to the Times Higher Education Supplement.

University of the South Pacific, Fiji. 1995-97: Lecturer. My principal duties at USP were curriculum development and I initiated and taught a number of new courses, including the Diploma in Pacific Journalism, which was aimed at working journalists wanting academic qualifications. The journalism degree at USP was funded by the French government and was the second attempt to establish a permanent university programme in Fiji. While at USP I started the student newspaper Wansolwara as an outlet for our students’ work. Since I left USP, the paper has won several regional awards and a number of my former students have gone on to senior editorial positions in the Islands’ media. I freelanced for a number of publications and organisations and helped research an information pack on press freedom that was to be distributed to schools by the Pacific Islands News Association. My main formal research efforts were devoted to completing my MA thesis, ‘The Apostolate of the Press: Missionary language policy, publication and translation in German New Guinea.’ The thesis, which was based on field work, interviews and archival research in Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Australia and the Vatican, examined the different strategies adopted by Catholic and Protestant missions to create written languages in German New Guinea and their long term effects on literacy, identity and the media in PNG. My degree was awarded by Central Queensland University in 1997. I greatly enjoyed teaching at USP, especially the fact that I had students from so many cultures and language groups. In 1997 I applied for and was offered a position at Teesside University in the UK.

Central Queensland University 1988-95: Lecturer I joined what was then the Capricornia Institute of Advanced Education at the beginning of 1988 after 10 years as a journalist, editor and broadcaster. Coming directly from an industry background I concentrated on print production and started Felix Culpa, a full colour bi-monthly newspaper supported by advertising which provided hands-on experience for our students. In common with many Australian universities, CQU has an extensive external studies programme and I was asked to write a journalism unit for external students. This was followed by a request to contribute practical units to the university’s Masters in Science Communication degree, which was also offered externally. While at CQU I encouraged my best students to take on outside consultancy work and worked with them in the production of a number of in-house and external publications. While at CQU I completed a B.Lit in journalism from Deakin University and began an MA. I travelled extensively in Papua New Guinea doing fieldwork for the thesis and this led to my being asked to run training workshops for journalists working for The Times of Papua New Guinea, Wantok and The Eastern Star. This in turn led my being asked to join The Times as acting chief sub-editor for the second half of 1994. On returning to Australia I was offered a position at the University of the South Pacific in Fiji.

6

1978-88: Journalist I worked all over Queensland in Australian on a variety of publications. I started as a cadet journalist on the Rockhampton Morning Bulletin and ended as a sub-editor on the state daily, the Courier Mail. In between, I was editor of one of Murdoch’s more excitable weeklies, the Townsville Advertiser, chief sub-editor of the North Queeensland Register, a farmer’s newspaper specialising in cattle and sugar cane and senior writer for the now defunct Express group of suburban weeklies in Brisbane. I also worked as a part-time broadcaster on 4TTTFM, a Townsville-based community radio station, broadcasting a weekly news programme and running the graveyard shift on Friday night. In 1988 the Brisbane Express group for which I was working was abruptly closed and after a period as a sub-editor on the Courier Mail I successfully applied for a position at my alma mater. I have written, led, or contributed to, classes in the following areas: News writing Feature writing Sports writing Writing for public relations Layout and design Desktop publishing Sub-editing Newspaper production Audio production Photo journalism Cinema Media, law and ethics International communication International journalism Global media Intercultural communication Communication theory Political communication Science communication Media history Media studies Communication research Internship supervision BA (Hons) dissertation supervision MA dissertation supervision MA thesis supervision MA thesis examination PhD thesis examination Internal and external course moderation

RESEARCH AND WRITING PROJECTS 2016

My conference presentation on the Tongan diasporic media in Auckland has been

accepted for publication.

In 2014 I co-presented the paper ‘Keto dogs! The representation of Australians and New

Zealanders in Commando comics’ to the Media, War and Memory conference at Auckland

University of Technology. Following last year’s European Society for Oceanists’ conference

in Brussells I travelled to Scotland where I conducted interviews on this topic and arranged

for a follow up visit to the Scottish National Library archives. I intend to submit a first

paper on this topic for publication by mid-year.

Following my conference paper on the newspaper coverage of Count von Luckner’s visit

to New Zealand, I have been researching the broader issue of Nazism in New Zealand and

the Pacific during the period of his visit. I am aiming for submission of a journal article in

2017.

I am conducting research on the pre-independence press in Vanuatu and the Solomons.

Part of this will examine the links between the press in these countries and the Anglican

Church in Auckland. I intend to have a journal article ready for submission in 2017.
