This article examines issues of diversity and inclusion in Australian public relations from the perspective of a female migrant academic. Using an autoethnographic approach, I draw from a postcolonial feminist perspective and recount my experience of public relations in Australia. This article incorporates self with the social, particularly expressing a voice often unheard of in the public relations discipline. In expressing my 'voice', I use memory texts that have triggered dialogues within myself and with others in my environment. I argue that Australian public relations education is a product of the country's struggles with its identity. To move forward, the public relations discipline requires more culturally aware faculty and practitioners who can develop and champion a curriculum that embraces multiple and inter-cultural perspectives
