Associate Professor Melanie Beresford was my Principal PhD Supervisor. Melanie received her Bachelor and Master degrees in Politics and History at the University of Adelaide and completed further studies at the University of Cambridge, receiving a Masters and PhD in Economics. Melanie was a leading scholar of the political economy of Indochina. Her academic research and publications always insisted on the unity of theory and practice. During the Vietnam War era, she was very active in the anti-War and solidarity movement. As a supporter of liberation movements in Southeast Asia, Melanie also took an important part in trade union support committees, including those in Australia. She was Associate Dean Research for eight years in the Faculty of Business and Economics (now Macquarie Business School) at Macquarie University. She passed away on February 27, 2013.
