Emeritus Professor Graeme Turner

Recently the School of English & Media Studies was lucky enough to host the inspirational scholar who brought cultural studies to the Southern Hemisphere and has shaped its evolution on a global scale ever since, Emeritus Professor Graeme Turner.  During his visit Graeme provided staff with advice and mentoring, as well as delivering a series of talks on the future of the humanities and the future of the media.  Read Bachelor of Communication student Rhiannon Davies’ blog post about his Future of the Humanities talk here: http://www.esocsci.org.nz/emeritus-professor-graeme-turner-humanities-arts-and-social-sciences-and-their-place-in-the-corporatisation-of-universities/

Thank you to the WH Oliver Humanities Research Academy for supporting Prof. Turner’s visit.
