Wilson, J. M. (2012) From medieval English to postcolonial studies. Paper presented to: New Zealand University Graduates' Association (NZUGA) Dinner, New Zealand High Commission, Haymarket, London, 2012-06-15.
A brief account of the academic transition that I made beginning with my first academic post in Auckland, New Zealand where I was lecturer in Medieval English during the 1970s then moved to Oxford where I completed a D Phil in reformation sermons, then to the University of Otago in Dunedin -- New Zealand again -- where I began teaching New Zealand literature and Postcolonial theory and writing, to my present work in the UK at the University of Northampton, and talking of some of the writers I have met on the way.
