Making History with Tom Murray

How can broadcast and visual media open up new ways of understanding historical narratives?

On this episode of GLAMcity, Anna discusses the intersection between history and storytelling with Tom Murray, Senior lecturer in media at Macquarie University.

Tom’s work has taken him from remote northeast Arnham Land to tell the story of Dhakiyarr Wirrpanda, to northeast England to tell the story of the Lampton Worm. Originally trained as a geographer, Tom is an historian interested in how meaning is made through narrative structure and storytelling.
