Biography
Rose Williamson teaches across a range of units in writing and rhetoric. In her research, Rose specialises in Australian magazines (history, genres, content) and political speeches and memoir. She is currently interested in the ways in which popular genres of writing and communication more generally both reflect and influence Australians’ relation to their natural environment, past and present. Rose’s publications reflect these specialisations as well as an ongoing commitment to best pedagogic practice in the writing classroom. Before completing her PhD and joining the academic staff of UNE, Rose worked in university governance and in the public service, where she gained extensive experience in professional writing and editing. She also published short stories (fiction and creative non-fiction).
