At the University of Oklahoma, he ledthe development of an archaeoastronomy distance-learning program and courses designed to educate researchers around the world. Steven regularly presents papers at international conferences as he endeavors to globally advance the field of Cultural Astronomy.
Peter Robertson holds a PhD in the history of astronomy from the University of Southern Queensland (Australia) and is currently an honorary research fellow in the Astrophysics Group at the University of Melbourne. Peter spent most of his career in science publishing, including over twenty years as the Managing Editor of the Australian Journal of Physics, published jointly by CSIRO and the Australian Academy of Science. Since his retirement in 2009, he has spent much of his time researching the development of radio astronomy in Australia. He is the author of three books: Beyond Southern Skies: Radio Astronomy and the Parkes Telescope (Cambridge University Press, 1992); Radio Astronomer: John Bolton and a New Window on the Universe (NewSouth Books, 2017); and Golden Years of Australian Radio Astronomy: An Illustrated History (Springer, in press). Peter is currently an Associate Editor of Journal of Astronomical History & Heritage.
