Statement of Career Achievements |
Conference/Symposium Convening Conference and Seminar Presentations |
My career focus and achievements have been born of a willingness to initiate, lead and facilitate in major roles and responsibilities in research, service and teaching in order to make a lasting and ongoing contribution to my research field of film and screen studies and to various universities. I was a teaching and research staff member at Monash University from 1990 - 2026 and from January 2026 I am Honorary Associate Professor in Media and Communication at RMIT University, Melbourne (deane.williams@rmit.edu.au). Research: For a number of years, I have been a prominent international figure in film studies having published my research in leading international journals, book chapters, monographs and edited collections with leading presses and been in demand as a referee for leading international journals and by universities as an examiner of HDR theses. From 2007 - 2017 I was Foundation Editor of Studies in Documentary Film (Taylor and Francis) the only refereed scholarly journal devoted to documentary, providing a home for the international community of scholars in the field and initiating special issues on largely under-researched fields of documentary. More recently I have extended this pro-active approach to research by leading a group of scholars to set up the Screen Studies Association of Australia and Aotearoa/New Zealand and the South of the West: the Southern Screens Research Network in collaboration with scholars from Chile, Argentina, Brazil, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia. (https://www.southofthewest.com/) I have convened conferences, colloquia, conference panels, curated screenings at the Australian Centre for the Moving Image and Melbourne Cinémathèque and releases for the Australian National Film and Sound Archive, consulted to Screen Australia, contributed to newspapers, and magazines, spoken at Melbourne International Film Festival and many other public events. Service: In 2007 I led the setting up of the new section of Film and Television Studies, now Film and Screen Studies, at Monash University. In the 15 years since its inception the section has become the premier department of its discipline in the country, with a substantial research, HDR and teaching record for a small section. As Associate Dean, Graduate Research, Faculty of Arts, Monash University (2010-2013) I led the introduction of the Monash PhD for the Faculty, the biggest change to Higher Degree Research that the University has ever experienced. As ADGR I facilitated and sought buy-in from senior Faculty Academic and Professional staff to introduce coursework and training as well as the Graduate Program-based restructure of the administration of HDR. Teaching: I have been a leader in my discipline initially in setting up and heading the Film and Television Studies section and major including proposing, coordinating and teaching fifteen or so new units in my time at Monash. I have been involved in co-coordination and sole coordination roles as well as lecturing and tutoring in units from 1st to 5th year and provided leadership in curriculum design and implementation. In 2023 I was a member of international panels reviewing the Steve Tisch School of Film and Television at Tel Aviv University, Israel and the Film Programme at Victoria University, Wellington, New Zealand. In 2026 I commenced my role as Editor of the Palgrave Studies in Histories of Documentary book series. |
