RESEARCH INTERESTS

As a WIL researcher, I am the principal researcher on a series of action-research WIL projects. My publications and research interest are focused predominantly on course-sensitive and unit-specific whole-of-faculty apporaches to intentionally scaffolded employability learning. The research contributes to shared understandings of how intentional curriculum design and strategic development of embedded approaches to undergraduate WIL in Higher Education can be achieved at scale.
