New Director of the Constructive Institute Asia Pacific appointed

Professor Stan Grant has been appointed as the inaugural Director of the Constructive Institute Asia Pacific in the Faculty of Arts at Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. Thus the Constructive Institute Asia-Pacific hub has come to reality.

“I’ll be working out of Monash University in a dual role as professor of journalism and director of the Constructive Institute,” Grant told Guardian Australia. “I think I have something to teach people about this. I’ve been in the crosshairs of the worst of our cultural pile-ons. And I think we can all learn, including me, we can all learn how to do this better.”

Grant’s journalism career includes his achievement as a three-time Walkley award winner. In more than 30 years’ experience in media, he has been employed in high profile roles as a current affairs and news presenter with Channel Seven, CNN, SBS and the ABC. He is an award-winning author of several books, including 2023’s The Queen Is Dead: Time for a Public Reckoning, according to Mediaweek Australia.
