Dr Anne Morrison

Welcome to my UniSA homepage.

I am a Research Assistant working in the School of Education on various projects. My life-long interest has always been ancient Egypt, and especially the ancient Egyptian language. In recent years, I have explored this interest academically by completing a BA majoring in Linguistics, followed by Honours and a PhD within the discipline of Professional Writing and Communication. The end product of my doctoral research was a textbook for people wanting to learn to read Egyptian hieroglyphs (yes - such people do exist!).

I am a great advocate of interest-based learning - the sort of learning that people undertake, not because they have to or need to, but because they want to.
