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.
