y separately published work icon En Route Juliana Engberg , Carlton : Melbourne University Press , 2018 15048501 2018 single work prose travel

'It's almost impossible to get lost these days; the fastest and most direct route arrives with the press of a few keys. But what of the joys of unexpected discoveries off the grid?

'En Route is an ode to wandering through time and place, meeting personalities with no fixed addresses. Assisted by her GPS or by more traditional map-reading means, Juliana Engberg takes you along on her adventures. Who knows where you will end up? You could bump into Greta Garbo, Casanova, Virgin Mary, or even the Dog on the Tuckerbox.

'A real journey is not always about the destination.' (Publication summary)

y separately published work icon On Aunty Jonathan Holmes , Melbourne : Melbourne University Press , 2019 15779555 2019 single work criticism

'Australia's public broadcaster, 'Aunty', is about to turn 90, yet your ABC has seldom been in this much trouble: budget cuts, ferocious political pressure, sagging staff morale, leadership chaos and hostile commercial rivals. Meanwhile audiences are deserting broadcast TV and radio. What is the ABC's place in the era of media disruption? Can it reach a younger audience on new platforms while still satisfying its loyal fans?'  (Publication summary)

y separately published work icon On Identity Stan Grant , Melbourne : Melbourne University Press , 2019 15779662 2019 single work criticism

'Bestselling author Stan Grant explores how identity is being hijacked to incite hate.'Stan Grant asks why when it comes to identity he is asked to choose between black and white. Is identity a myth? A constructed story we tell ourselves? Tribalism, nationalism and sectarianism are dividing the world into us and them. Communities are a tinderbox of anger and resentment. He passionately hopes we are not hard wired for hate. Grant argues that it is time to leave identity behind and to embrace cosmopolitanism. On Identity is a meditation on hope and community.'
