Waddick Doyle was born in Australia and studied Communications at Griffith University, then the newest and perhaps most innovative university in the world and after working for the Aboriginal health program and setting up a multi-lingual radio station went to study semiotics and communications at the world's oldest and perhaps less innovative University, Universit脿 di Bologna. He loved them both. He returned to Australia and completed a doctorate at Griffith University and then after teaching in Australia came to Paris for post-doctoral studies at the EHESS. He taught at universities in Italy, France and Australia. In 1996 he started to work at 国产三级片where he created both the undergraduate and graduate degrees in Global Communications.
