Exploring the role of design in the natural and cultural heritage of inland NSW is on the busy agenda of Margaret Woodward as she settles into her new role as Head of the School of Visual and Performing Arts at Charles Sturt University (CSU) Wagga Wagga. Formerly Head of Visual Communication at the Tasmanian School of Art in Hobart, Associate Professor Woodward started work at CSU on Monday 2 February as temperatures hit the early forties. “I’m excited to be at CSU in Wagga Wagga and to be living in inland NSW,” said Associate Professor Woodford. “I also look forward to seeing the city’s contrast to my previous workplaces in Hong Kong, Sydney, Melbourne and more recently in Tasmania. The city has a strong but different sense of place to Tasmania.” With a background in graphic design, the new Head of School has a research interest in the recently emerging field of interpretation design, the design associated with cultural and natural heritage interpretation found in historic sites, visitor centres and national parks.
