A senior lecturer at Macquarie University, Willa McDonald’s research interests are creative non-fiction/literary journalism, biography and memoir, journalism, ethics, travel writing, place and nature writing, race and the media. In 2007 she co-edited the anthology Telling Stories in Journalism and Non-Fiction, a work designed to reflect upon the process of writing. Her biography, Warrior for Peace: Dorothy Auchterlonie Green (2009) will be of particular interest to our PhD students because it started as Willa’s own doctoral thesis.
