Crossing the continents. A successful thesis research trip!

Stu Blair

A great radio interview today!

I had a fun time today during my interview with 1079 Lifefm presenter 'Scotty' about my exhbition and current thesis research and you can listen to the interview via this 1079 Lifefm banner!

Here is a link to 1079 Life FM for a review of the launch of my national speaking tour in Adelaide on September 1.

July and August thesis and book project research tour!

Taking in the City of Las Vegas, London and Belgium as part of my research tour during the northern hemisphere Summer proved to be a most positive excercise, and whilst in Las Vegas, I attended the 50th Anniversary of Star Trek Convention as part of my thesis research into popular culture. I had a most interesting experience and I was interviewed by a British radio journalist about my thesis investigation

A highlight of the convention was meeting Kirstie Alley 'post presentation' and what a dynamic woman she is!

The U.S. stage of my Thesis research trip proved to be most successful in gathering much material specific to my investigation.

A montage of images from the second stage of my thesis research trip in London and Belgium and it was inside the Hergé Museum just outside of Brussels where I would be based for the remainder of my research.

A fantastic presentation at OzComicCon, Royal Adelaide Showgrounds - April 10, 2015

You know you have connected with the audience when the 'post presentation' Q & A segment is nearly as long as the talk!

I had most receptive audience for my presentation at the Royal Adelaide Showgrounds for OzComicCon a weekend convention showcasing the world of pop culture and social media.

There was a massive attendance of pop culture fans during the two day convention!

Pictured here during my presentation at OzComicCon 2015 with more than 20,000 fans visiting the two day convention in Adelaide!

The convention provides fans with a unique opportunity to be up close with many of their favourite Hollywood actors and Comic Book illustrators and gaming creators!
