> Many will have noticed that Professor John Tulloch was among the
> Australian casualties of the London bombings. For those who weren't
> around then, John Tulloch was for many years the most senior person in
> the developing field of Australian cultural studies and his own work
> has made a major contribution over several decades. He edited the
> pioneering Australian Cultural Studies monograph series published by
> Allen and Unwin from the mid-1980s, and he provided support and
> legitimacy for many of us who were trying to convince our universities
> to commence subjects and courses in cultural, media, or film studies.
> During the 1980s in particular John was extremely valuable as a
> mentor, facilitating the development of the work of others. Indeed, I
> owe him a great personal debt for his unstinting support of my own
> work over that period.
> John is now recovering from his injuries but is still suffering from
> extremely debilitating after-effects of the concussion. It will take a
> long time until he is back to anything like normal, and so he is
> facing quite a difficult time ahead.
> If anyone would like to pass on their best wishes for John's recovery,
> they can do so through his Brunel email address which is
> John.Tulloch at brunel.ac.uk
