Biography

Professor Greg Battye is Deputy Dean of the Faculty of Arts and Design. He came to the University to teach in Media Production after a decade of work in the Public Service, and specialised initially in teaching photography, at both practical and theoretical levels. His interests gradually extended into media production more widely, picking up on a life-long interest in film and video, also in both practical and theoretical domains, and extending into audio and multimedia.

Since completing his Doctorate at Wollongong in 2001 on connections between photography and narrative theory, he has branched out further into explorations of narrative forms and structures, in both conventional and non-conventional writing and in areas of cultural production not ordinarily seen as narrative. He still finds rare moments in which to indulge his love of photography; five of his photographs are held in the Australian National Gallery, and others are included in the holdings of Wollongong University, the Australian Defence Force Academy and in private collections.
