Dr Seth Robinson

Seth Robinson is an award-winning writer, producer, and academic.

He is the author of Welcome to Bellevue (2020), the first full-length novel from Grattan Street Press. His work has featured in publications such as The Saturday Paper, Kill Your Darlings, Aurealis Magazine, TEXT, Meniscus, The Ultimo Prize Anthology, and The Mascara Literary Review, among others.

Seth has a keen interest in non-traditional research outputs, particularly in considering the relationship between research and its translation, creative practice, and public engagement. He is especially interested in how creative works and the applied humanities might foster resilience, agency, and hope in the face of uncertainty and crisis. In 2024 he was the winner of 'The Writing Prize', for Killing Murray Darling, a short story that translated the research of Dr Anna Kosovac and interrogated the media's responsibilities in reporting on climate change.

In addition to his work with the MPHI, Seth lectures in the Executive Master of Arts at the University of Melbourne. He currently sits on the board of literary journal Going Down Swinging, and is a guest reviewer on ABC Radio National's The Bookshelf. He regularly appears at Australian writers festivals and conferences.
