BSc (Honours) in Zoology; MSc in Information Studies; Postgraduate Diploma in Journalism; MA in Sustainable Development Elizabeth Morgan is a multi skilled individual with a career spanning pure sciences, academic librarianship, journalism and academia. At present she is a fixed-term, part-time lecturer at CSU’s Bathurst campus. The thread running through her perhaps strange career path is a passion for digging for information – both for her own projects and to help others. One highlight of her career was being appointed Deputy Librarian (Science and Engineering) at the then new Dublin City University at the age of 25. Another is presenting research papers at two Australasian Agri-food Research Network conferences, based on her PhD research. Elizabeth is a member of the Australian Institute of Geographers and the Geographical Society of NSW. She was a management committee member of the Sydney Food Fairness Alliance (now the Right to Food Coalition) and wrote several of its policy paper, including a food policy for NSW. I am a Human Geographer with strong social science skills and a pure science background. I lecture in the areas of environmental sociology and scientific literacy. I have taught Human Geography at CSU and Macquarie universities, and journalism/media studies at Macquarie and Wollongong universities. I have been a writer and editor for more than four decades with national newspapers, magazines and radio stations in Australia and Ireland and, as such, have excellent skills to help students with researching, writing and editing their work. I am completing a PhD thesis on food (insecurity) in Western Sydney through the lens of local government. My research covers food security; food policy; nutrition and public health; sustainable food systems; local food; globalisation; urban studies; human geography; sociology (of food); social justice.
