Nominee, 2017 Niall Lucy Award

Professor Niall Lucy was the co-founder of CCAT; a leading scholar on literary and critical theory, especially on ‘deconstruction’, a term coined by French philosopher Jacques Derrida that explores the connection between text and meaning; and a writer on contemporary culture, media politics and Australian popular music. He died in June 2014. To commemorate Professor Lucy’s significant achievements, Curtin’s School of Media, Culture and Creative Arts funded the Niall Lucy Award, valued at $5,000. The Niall Lucy Award was open to applicants who demonstrated excellence of published work in critical and cultural theory, media scholarship or popular music scholarship.
