ProfessorRichard Lansdown

I am a Londoner by birth, educated at University College in that city. My first teaching post was at the University of Tampere in Finland, in 1991. After two years there I moved to Charles Sturt University in Wagga Wagga NSW, before going on to James Cook University in Cairns, Far North Queensland, where I worked for twenty years before taking up the Chair Professorship of Modern English Literature and Culture at the University of Groningen in 2017. I retired in 2022 and returned to Australia to be near family. I continue to research and am proud to be associated with the University of Tasmania.
