Dr Dorothy Jones

M.A. (N.Z.), M.A. (Adelaide), B.Litt. (Oxford), D.Litt.(honoris causa), Wollongong.

Senior Fellow, Dorothy Jones joined the English Studies Program at the University of Wollongong in 1971, and retired in 1996. Over twenty-three years service she has gained an enviable reputation as a teacher and scholar. The English Studies Program's present profile is centred on its important components of post-colonial studies and feminist studies. Dorothy Jones laid the groundwork for both these initiatives by introducing comparative Australian/Canadian studies, and by developing foundation subjects in Women's Studies.

Amongst her peers, Dorothy Jones is recognized as one of the major literary critics of Australian and post-colonial women's writing. She is a leading authority on the work of Olga Masters, Elizabeth Jolley and Canadian writer Aritha van Herk, to name a few.
