BIO

I am Director of REDI - the centre for Research for Educational Impact at
Deakin University. REDI is a large research centre that is committed to the
never ending struggle for social justice and leading educational ideas. My
research program is developed from questions of equity, participation and
agency and shows sustained links to schools, school systems and the
professional work of early career teachers. Leading change through a focus on
curriculum and social theory, curriculum leadership, practitioner inquiry and
qualitative research methodology, notably visual methods, I am active in
working along education systems in Australia and internationally to shape
policy and practice. My experience in education has been equally shared
between the university sector and the school system. I began my teaching
career in the Northern Territory and then worked for the Department of
Education in Tasmania as a teacher of visual arts, literacy specialist and a
school principal. Over a forty-year career in education I have upheld an
enduring commitment to equity and social justice. Central to my research
programme is the fostering of a strong research higher degree culture and a
pedagogy of supervision that enables candidates to pursue innovative and
impactful research. I have contributed more than 100 publications that
include book chapters, refereed journal articles, reports, professional books
and other publications in a range of high standing international and national
peer review publications and conference proceedings. My service contribution
in additional to my leadership roles in higher education include the
organisation of academic colloquia series; national president of the
Australian Association for Research in Education (2013-14), an active member
of major professional associations and conference committees; reviewing for
international research panel reviews and promotion committees; editor of
Teaching Education; membership of international editorial boards and regular
reviewing for a range of social science journals in education, teaching and
the arts.
