Brian Martin (professor)

Brian Martin (born 1947) has worked at the University of Wollongong for many years, in the interdisciplinary area of Science, technology, and society, and in 1997 was appointed to his current position of Associate Professor. [http://www.uow.edu.au/arts/sts/bmartin/others/cv.html] He was president of Whistleblowers Australia from 1996 to 1999 and remains their International Director.

The central theme in Martin's research is the dynamics of power, with special attention to strategies for challenging repression and exploitation. He has explored power dynamics through an interplay of theory and case studies, including nonviolent action, dissent and scientific controversies. Martin's earlier scientific work was in stratospheric modelling and numerical methods; astrophysics; and wind power and electricity grids. [http://www.uow.edu.au/arts/sts/bmartin/others/cv.html]

Brian Martin is the author of 12 books and over 200 major papers and chapters. [http://www.uow.edu.au/arts/sts/bmartin/pubs/]
