Unexpected and profound insights from smart people you’d like to meet. Mark Parry has a perspective, but as a conduit, he wants you to hear the perspectives of others. Mark’s longstanding commitment to learning, teaching and communication gets more engaging than ever as he chats with a broad and diverse range of intelligent, friendly and interesting people—artists, researchers, scientists, psychologists, film makers—who are thinking up new ideas and then getting on with making a big or small impact on the world. Mark takes time to listen to their perspectives, and so can you. If you ever wanted to know what the shattered ideology of the American dream looks like as a self-aware oil painting on instagram or how reflection and creative thought helps a scientific researcher in pursuit of a cancer cure or what melodramatic sex on 70s Australian television tells us about the politics of our society, then look no further. The goal: to get big, complex, challenging, important and contemporary ideas out to listeners that never knew they were interested. This is Perspectives in Parryville.

    Ep84: Lucy Blakemore, Researcher, Educator and Student Experience Specialist
    2026/08/19
    Today, my guest is Lucy Blakemore, a researcher, educator and student experience specialist whose career has taken a wonderfully non-linear path from studying German and Italian literature, to market research, English language teaching, educational technology and, more recently, research and insights in higher education. In this episode, Lucy reflects on growing up in the UK and choosing university subjects not because they pointed towards a particular career, but simply because they were things she enjoyed and was good at. She shares how studying languages opened up opportunities to travel and experience other cultures, and how a volunteering experience teaching English in Sudan led to an early realisation that she was fascinated by people's stories – and by asking questions. We explore Lucy's 25-year relationship with research, from conducting focus groups and interviews for everything from chocolate and cars to healthcare, through to her current work investigating student experiences and higher education. Lucy offers insights into the surprising connections between market research, teaching and learning design, and how skills developed in one career can quietly become the foundations for another. In our conversation, we explore Lucy's current research into leadership practices in international education. Rather than asking what makes a 'good leader', Lucy is interested in what leaders actually do – how they spend their days, build relationships, listen, navigate complex organisations and respond to the environments around them. We explore a simple technique of asking people to describe how she could essentially "be them for a day", revealing the often invisible practices that underpin leadership. We also discuss Lucy's research into community and belonging in higher education, and challenge some common assumptions about today's students. Rather than asking whether students belong to a university community, Lucy explores how universities might better understand and connect with the many communities that students already inhabit. We consider the role of learning design, online learning, equity and facilitation in creating meaningful opportunities for students to connect with one another. And throughout our conversation is a recurring theme: the power of asking questions. For Lucy, curiosity isn't simply a personality trait – it's a professional skill, especially when conducting research, designing learning, teaching, leading or simply trying to understand another person. Lucy reflects on her own unplanned career journey, the value of being open to unexpected opportunities, and why sometimes dismantling the career ladder you thought you were supposed to climb can lead somewhere much more interesting.

    Ep83: Mark Schuster, Environmental Educator, Musician and Bushfire Technical Officer
    2026/08/14
    Today, my guest is Mark Schuster, an environmental educator, musician and bushfire technical officer whose lifelong passion for Australia's natural environment has shaped a deeply personal career in nature, conservation, Australian history, music, education and bushfire management. In this episode, Mark reflects on growing up in suburban Brisbane, where an early fascination with bushland, birds and books set him on a path that would lead to studies in zoology, rainforest ecology and conservation. He shares the mentors, chance encounters and unexpected twists that shaped his journey—from an unsuccessful PhD that ultimately opened new doors, to a career spanning scientific research, public service, environmental management and community engagement. Our conversation explores Mark's enduring commitment to preserving Australia's cultural and natural heritage. He recounts decades spent travelling through rural Queensland recording traditional bush music, German-Australian folk songs and oral histories, preserving stories that might otherwise have disappeared. We also discuss the power of music, memory and storytelling, and the importance of passing cultural traditions from one generation to the next. The Schuster Collection, part of the National Library of Australia, contains recordings of folk songs and dance music from Queensland and also stories, legends and recollections of customs and immigrant settlement, particularly German and Scandinavian in rural Queensland. Mark plays many of the old German-Queensland dance tunes on his traditional button accordion. Mark offers valuable insights into bushfire ecology and his current work helping communities prepare for bushfire risk in Sydney's northern bushland suburbs. We discuss the relationship between people and place, the value of walking as a way of observing and understanding the environment, and the emerging collaboration between Western fire science and Aboriginal cultural burning practices. We wander into conversations about poetry, nature writing, the influence of Australian poets including Judith Wright and Amy Mack, and the role that curiosity, generosity and lifelong learning have played throughout Mark's life. Mark shares his belief that caring for landscapes and the environment also means caring for people and the stories they carry.

  • Ep82: Mais Fatayer, Learning Designer, Educator and Researcher

    Ep82: Mais Fatayer, Learning Designer, Educator and Researcher
    2026/08/09
    Today, my guest is Mais Fatayer, a learning designer, educator and researcher whose professional journey has taken her from computer science and software engineering to teaching, higher education, open education and learning design. In this episode, Mais reflects on how a love of mathematics, problem solving and art shaped her early career decisions. Mais shares how studying computer science led to teaching, and how her experiences as both a student and educator revealed the profound difference that thoughtful teaching and learning design can make. We explore Mais’ transition from programming computers to designing meaningful learning experiences. Our conversation centres on the world of open education. Mais explains what open educational resources are, how Creative Commons licensing works, and why making high-quality educational materials openly available has the potential to transform learning for students, teachers and institutions. Mais also shares insights from her doctoral research, demonstrating how student assessment can be redesigned to create valuable resources that continue to benefit future learners long after a course has finished. We also chat about the evolving role of learning designers in higher education. Mais emphasises the importance of collaboration between academics, librarians and learning design teams, and how emerging technologies such as generative AI present new opportunities to make education more accessible, sustainable and equitable.
