About me
Associate Professor Elizabeth Ellison is the Dean of Research, UniSA Creative.
Liz's doctoral thesis, from Queensland University of Technology, was an examination of textual representations of the Australian beach. Since then, she has worked hard to stay as close to the coast as possible on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland. A graduate of the Creative Industries Faculty at QUT, Liz's interest in Australian popular and cultural texts has continued through her varied publications, including a recent foray into beach soccer history with a co-authored book published by Routledge (McGowan, Ellison & Lastella 2023).
Newly arrived to Adelaide in late 2023, Liz was previously the Deputy Dean (Research) for the School of Education & the Arts at Central Queensland University. In this role, Liz specialised in applied and regional arts research, with a focus on arts evaluation. She has been lead investigator on projects worth nearly $4m, working closely with local councils, state government, and various arts organisations. These projects have been diverse, including delivering public art trails in remote Queensland, sector consultations, and developing a micro-credential package for arts businesses. Liz established the 'Applied Arts and Regional Communities' cluster for the Centre for Research in Equity & Advancement of Teaching & Education (CREATE) at CQUniversity.
Liz has specialised in creative industries postgraduate teaching across various graduate certificates and coursework masters degrees at both QUT and CQUniversity. She was the coordinator of CARTA, the Creative Arts Research Training Academy at CQU. Designed to support creative arts and creative practice research students, Liz taught the Creative Practice Research methodology unit as part of her support for the distanced cohort. This built on her previous work at QUT for an Office of Learning & Teaching grant investigating higher degree research supervision in the creative arts. She continues to supervise research students across a range of creative disciplines.
