Crossing the continents. A successful thesis research trip!

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.
