Professor Robin Gerster

School of English, Communications and Performance Studies

I was born in Melbourne and schooled in Melbourne and Sydney. I completed my undergraduate degree at Monash in the mid 1970s and returned to the university in the early 1980s to pursue postgraduate work. In 1982 I was awarded the inaugural C.W. Bean Postgraduate Scholarship from the Australian War Memorial in Canberra to undertake doctoral research on Australian war writing.
