About Dr Chris Watson

Dr Chris Watson was for many years a Lecturer in English at La Trobe University, with a special interest in poetry. He has taught in other Universities in Australia and abroad.

On leaving the University he became Dean of Studies with the International College of Celebrancy. His work in preparing many celebrants for their careers has given him an excellent understanding of the importance and variety of ceremonies in our lives.

His understanding has been enriched by ongoing studies in a number of languages and cultures.

His Ph.D studied poems of John Donne and Andrew Marvell, and he loves an opportunity to include literary works in a ceremony, especially those by his favourite poets from earlier centuries.
