  • Wikipedia 30 August 2022: (Marlene Johanna Norst (24 March 1930 – 20 December 2010) was an Australian linguist, pedagogue and philanthropist of Austrian heritage. Her main areas of work were German language and literature studies, language pedagogy, English as a second language, socio-linguistics and children’s literature. She was born in Vienna; her family fled Austria in March 1938 and eventually settled in Australia, in Leeton (N.S.W.). She studied German and linguistics at the University of Sydney and the University of Newcastle. From 1957 to 1967 she taught German at the University of Newcastle, and received her PhD there (1972). From 1968 to 1986 she lectured at Macquarie University; from 1978 she was attached to the University of Vienna, including work studying Austrians who had returned after migrating to Australia. She was a close friend of the Aboriginal activist, Burnum Burnum (1936-1997), and taught English to migrants, street children and ex-prisoners. She translated several German plays into English, and was an active chorister. She died in Sydney.) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marlene_Norst
