Dr. Shirley Tyler
Shirley Tyler taught at the University of Western Sydney before coming to USQ in 1995 as a Senior Lecturer. Shirley's PhD was on the nineteenth-century writer, Mary Elizabeth Braddon and she has published in the area of nineteenth and twentieth century women's fiction.
She is architect and principal author of Communication: A Foundation Course (Prentice Hall 1999), which was republished in a revised edition in 2002. A further edition is currently in production for publication in late 2004 or early 2005.
Current research: Since sensation fiction was a successor to Gothic fiction and a forerunner of contemporary thrillers and crime fiction, Shirley's current research interest is in the development and continuity of crime fiction by women and the continuing subversive relationship between these texts and the dominant ideologies.
