Dr Sally Morris has a BA with 1st class Honours and PhD from Macquarie University and a Diploma of Fine Arts from COFA (Uni. NSW). Sally specialises in the comparative study of ancient Egyptian, Near Eastern, Greek and Roman art, myth, religion and history as well as women’s studies, and has tutored and lectured on these topics at Macquarie for nearly 10 years and at WEA since 2011. She was an education officer at Macquarie’s Museum of Ancient Cultures, and a designer and project manager of educational displays and exhibitions at The Australian Museum, the NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service and TAFE. Sally’s approach to teaching is highly interactive and carefully crafted to ensure enjoyable, immersive learning experiences supported by high quality, original teaching materials, within a carefully explained social, geographical and chronological context. She enjoys encouraging and supporting students on their own travel adventures and on occasion includes “hands on” classroom experiences, such as artefact sessions, which enable students to interact and learn together.
