Pete Hay
In his own words:
"A native Tasmanian, I returned home
in 1985 when I joined the then Centre
for Environmental Studies, having previously
worked in academia elsewhere in Australia,
and as a political advisor in Canberra.
"My research interests fall within three
interlinked areas: environmental thought,
environmental politics, and the nature
of place and place attachment. I am currently
drawing upon all three of these broad
areas research interest to develop a
research focus on the ecopolitics of
islands. "

Dr Pete Hay teaches at the University
of Tasmania in the School
of Geography and Environmental Studies,
mainly in the area of environmental thought.
He has inspired a generation concerned
with the preservation and protection of
Tasmania as a unique place in the world.
He is a man of wide-ranging interests.
His poetry is
informed by his academic work, his encyclopedic
knowledge, his reflection on Tasmanian
issues, and his own deep sense of 'island'
as place and as unique heritage. His
political incisiveness and his ability
to explain his beliefs in accessible
language make him one of Tasmania's most
important writers and thinkers. [Anne
Kellas, ed.]
