ProfessorJulian Sefton-Green

I am interested in all things digital from a critical perspective. I have
worked and researched at many levels of the education system and on many
projects around the world. I have studied: classroom interactions, school
life, curricuulum change, creative media practices, youth community centres
and out-of-school digital cultures over the last 30 years. I am particularly
interested in forms of learning outside of the school, both in non-formal
learning institutions and in everyday social activities; and how these might
play a part in wider political projects of educational reform. I want to
explore how everyday uses of the digital intersect with social inequality in
order to enable learning in young people's cultural, creative, civic and
political lives.

I joined Deakin in 2017 as Professor of New Media Education having previously
held posts in the Department of Media and Communication at the London School
of Economics and in the Faculty of Education Research at the University of
Oslo. I have worked as an independent scholar in Education and in the Cultural
and Creative Industries; as a Media Studies teacher in an inner city
comprehensive in London and in higher education teaching undergraduate and
postgraduate courses, leading; teacher training degrees in media education. I
was also the Head of Media Arts and Education at WAC Performing Arts and Media
College - a centre for informal training and education - where I directed a
range of digital media activities for young people and co-ordinated training
for media artists and teachers.
