He was joint editor of the prestigious International Journal of Maritime History from 2000-2008, the author of A Community Enterprise: the History of the Port of Fremantle, 1897 to 1997 (1997), an Area Editor for the Oxford Encyclopedia of Maritime History (2007), co-editor of Port Privatisation: The Asia-Pacific Experience (2008) and co-editor of Historical Perspectives on Fisheries Exploitation in the Indo-Pacific (2014). A Fellow of Murdoch University’s Centre for Asian Studies since 1999, Malcolm was appointed Principal Investigator for the Asian History of Marine Animal Populations Project in 2006, initiating his own investigation into Indonesian shark fishing as part of this multi-national project. From 2008-2011 Malcolm was President of the Economic Society of Australia Inc., Western Australian Branch. Malcolm was Vice-President of the International Maritime History Association from 2008-2016 and in July 2016 was elected as President and served until July 2022. Malcolm continues  to research and supervise  postgraduate students in the School of Business.

Professor Malcolm Tull has previously coordinated the following units:

• BUS162 Australian Business and Economy (renamed Economics in Society)
• BUS272 The Changing Economies of Asia
• MBS531 Economics of Globalisation

Malcolm also supervises students at both the honours and postgraduate levels.

Malcolm Tull’s research activity is mainly in the area of maritime economic history and applied maritime economics. He has published extensively on the port and fishing industries and developed an international reputation for his work in this area.

 

Currently, Malcolm is researching the impact of seaports as adaptors to disaster events via a case study of the Port of Lyttelton. He is also participating in Goldenfish, an FRDC funded project on the social and economic value of the blue swimmer crab and black bream fisheries in the Peel-Harvey and Blackwood estuaries in the Southwest of the State. This project will also evaluate the economic case for investing in release programs for these fisheries.
