About me
Dr. Bianca Price is a Lecturer and Course Coordinator in Education Futures. With a Doctor of Philosophy, a Bachelor's degree in Leisure Management with first-class Honours, and a Graduate Certificate in Research Commercialisation, she brings a wealth of academic qualifications to her role.
Drawing from over 15 years of experience in Australian higher education, Bianca excels in managing, designing, and implementing courses that enhance students' employability and transferable skills. Her dedication extends to developing students' communication skills, both individually and within teams and groups. Bianca is also passionate about guiding students in professional settings. Moreover, she champions the UniSA College virtual work-integrated learning experiences, making connections between education and work more inclusive and practical for students from diverse and non-traditional backgrounds.
Bianca's research portfolio reflects her diverse interests. Grounded in Leisure Management, her previous research explored barriers and constraints related to physical activity, with a specific focus on body image and social physique anxiety. As a Senior Researcher for CERM-PI, she conducted research on visitor perceptions in botanic gardens and national parks. Now, her current research focuses on consumer behavior, source credibility & physical attractiveness; as well as exploring the impact of virtual work placements in enabling education and developing ways to improve the student experience.
Beyond her academic and research roles, Bianca co-coordinates the UniSA College Alumni Mentor Program, offering students a range of professional development initiatives. She is an active member of professional associations, including the Australian Collaborative Education Network (ACEN), the National Association of Field Administrators, the National Association of Enabling Educators (NAEEA), and Higher Education Research and Development Society of Australasia (HERDSA).
