While holding numerous research and teaching fellowships over the next two decades, Morris did not hold a continuing academic position or have a specific institutional affiliation prior to her appointment in 2000 as founding Chair Professor of Cultural Studies at Lingnan University, Hong Kong. Her contribution to and impact on Australian and international cultural studies has instead been built on a large body of written work and activity as editor of collections and journals. In 1993, she co-edited (with John Frow) Australian Cultural Studies: A Reader (Sydney and Chicago: Allen & Unwin and University of Illinois Press). In 1995, she and anthropologist Stephen Muecke started the journal The UTS Review, which in 2002 became Cultural Studies Review. She received her Doctor of Philosophy in 1996 from the University of Technology, Sydney.
