I am saddened to have only just discovered news of the sad passing of this great man mid last year.
Vale Associate Prof. M&M. I will never ever forget how you used to keep your funky glasses together with a couple of pieces of sticky tape.
Your third year Politics course which I enjoyed in 1998, namely US Foreign Policy Towards the Third World provided a vivid insight into where power resides, whom has it, whom wants it, whom is challenging for it and whom is able to maintain its hegemony amongst all and any forms of relentless resistance.
Thank you for all that you did both inside and outside of the Macquarie University Campus.
My belated heartfelt condolences go out to your family and I just want to wish them well in the full knowledge that your counsel and lectureship has left an enduring legacy.
The world is a far better place because you were a very important part of it. Rest In Peace Morris Morley. Thank you for the fond memories.
