Three papers presented at the 30th World Congress of the International Society for Education Through Art, Brisbane Convention Centre, October, 1999: 'Is Graffiti Art?' 'The Senate Committee's Report' 'The Failure of Art Education' In the field of art and design theory, publications include many letters in Art Monthly Australia. (+See below for recent publications). My current major research field - the art and design of war memorials in Australia - has yielded self-published pamphlets on two memorials and two sculptors, copies of which have been deposited in the National and State Libraries and distributed to other interested institutions. The final result will be a major publication. (+See beClow for articles published.) This research was part-funded by a grant from the Department of Veterans' Affairs.
