Cameron RichardsCameron Richards is a semi-retired Australian professor of interdisciplinary studies with extensive experience in the Asia-Pacific region - including at QUT, Nanyang Uni. Singapore, Hong Kong Institute of Education, University of Western Australia, UM in Malaysia and Chulalongkorn University in Thailand. He has a multi-disciplinary background for a current/future focus on sustainability studies, policy research, academic research and writing methodology, leadership and organizational learning, lifelong education, intercultural communication, curriculum innovation, and new literacies. However, in his semi-retirement his other main interest (besides 'community advocacy' and 'seniors lifelong learning') has been family history and related genealogical research and writing (e.g. his 2025 book "Prosperous: The Kennedy Murrays and the origins of historic Evandale in early Colonial Australia". For the last few decades his writings and related 'thinking' (since 1999) have generally subscribed to the projection notion of a '21st Century knowledge-building' model - a model recognising the transformative 'deep learning' process by which all knowledge can and should be generated as reflective and problem-solving inquiry grounded in human experience. In this way, he has planned a book series titled 21st Century knowledge building for future global sustainability. This book is the first in the series. And another titled "Words, Ideas, and Optimal Knowledge-Building: A 'foolproof' self-help guide to academic (and other) thinking, writing, and problem-solving inquiry" is the second - out also earlier this year.
