Honorary Associate Lecturer
Overview
Steve holds degrees in Archaeology, BA(hons) (University of London), Museum Studies, MA (University of London) and Anthropology, PhD graduate (University of Queensland). He is a cultural heritage professional who has over 30 years experience in the sector.
In relation to sustainable development, his research brings novel attention onto the social and cultural dimensions of the material culture of collections and of the built environment. Steve is interested in developing an appreciation of value in material culture by drawing attention to both material and immaterial aspects, to the tangible and the intangible, and to the physical and the metaphysical. His athropological research brings focus onto the social, relational factors that influence cultural heritage interpretation in the modern state of Turkey.
Research Impacts
Steve's work makes an impact by enabling knowledge transfer between academia, industry and the community, for instance, by communicating Neolithic heritage to local communities in Turkey. Steve's work is featured in an online Research impact story at University of Queensland.
Steve's research supports initiatives of university institutions beyond Australia by supporting the Boncuklu Project with Liverpool University, by engaging with heritage and museums study groups at Bristol University and University of Leiden and by taking part in conferences, symposia and workshops.
