Autorenporträt

Thor Kerr is a lecturer in the Department of Communication and Cultural Studies at Curtin University's School of Media, Culture and Creative Arts, Western Australia. Dr Kerr's research focuses on media and public representation in negotiations of urban space, particularly in relation to environmental issues, colonisation and Aboriginal heritage. His latest book, To the Beach, examines public controversy and policy making around 'sustainable' coastal property development. His previous (co-authored) book, Setting up the Nyoongar Tent Embassy: a Report on Perth Media, investigated the systemic shaping of popular news reports that criminalised Aboriginal activists.
