Biography
Tom coordinates the Monash Intercultural Lab’s undergraduate teaching program. He believes learning should be informative and a fun experience, and likes nothing more than taking students on the road. His students sample life in Outback New South Wales. He introduces them to the mining community around Broken Hill, and the expanses of Eldee Station and the Mundi Mundi Plain.
Students explore this and other Australian places and issues as part of Tom's “Australian Idols: Exploring Contemporary Australia” unit. He also teaches across the centre's sports units, “Sport and Australian Society, A World of Sport” and ”Australian Sports Writing”, and the international relations unit, “Australia in a Globalising World”.
