Work history

I worked as a professional social worker prior to entering academia with a particular focus on women's mental health and gendered violence.  I took a post-doctoral postion in the School of Population Health at the University of Adelaide in 2004 after completing my doctoral thesis, which explored the gendered nature of theories and interventions used in treatment and prevention of eating disorders.  I continued to build my research program in mental health through this period and came to the University of South Australia in 2007 to take up a position as a lecturer in social work in the School of Psychology, Social Work and Social Policy.  I have held numerous  leadership positions over this period, including Research Degrees Coordinator and Honours Coordinator.  I am currently the Discipline Head: Social Work and Human Services and Program Director for the Bachelor of Social Work Honours program.

Teaching & student supervision

Teaching strengths

  • mental health
  • research education
  • relational approaches to learning and teaching
  • higher degree research supervision

Highlights

My teaching involves a focus on mental health in social work practice and research education.  I have developed a highly relational approach to teaching based on the principle that learning occurs in relationship rather than through the passive intake of knowledge.  This very much fits with my teaching areas: both mental health and research education involve the development of new knowlege, but also learning and practising skills, and the embrace of social work values and principles of ethical research.  A relational approach to learning and teaching enables an integrated approach to learning across the dimensions of theory, practice and ethics, and allows for a dynamic two-way process between teachers and learners, as well as between peer learners.
