Author and Illustrator Mark Wilson

We are excited to present author and illustrator Mark Wilson who will speak at both Bundoora and Brunswick Campuses.  Mark  has written and / or illustrated numerous books and you can see a small selection on this page.

For almost 15 years now, the Library has supported the Bachelor of Education program by organising an author or illustrator to present their work and ideas and discuss their writing journeys.  Where do they get their inspiration from? How do they keep their writing relevant? What is their advice for aspiring writers?  This year the talk is supporting the Teaching Writing course, being taught at both campuses in second semester, but all staff and students are welcome to attend.

 Times and Dates:
Brunswick Campus: Tuesday 2nd August at 12.30, Place: probably the Auditorium bld 514 (across from the Library)
Bundoora Campus: Thursday 4th August at 12.30, Place: TBA

To produce these resources, we have partnered with the  Primary English Teaching Association of Australia , the  Australian Association for the Teaching of English , and the  English Teachers Association NSW .
