About me
Hi there!
It is a great honour to be Dean of Programs for UniSA Justice & Society, a role I enjoy and feel a great commitment to. Since the University's Academic Organisational Transformation in 2020, I have had carriage of the Justice and Society's teaching & learning and program portfolio working alongside the JUS Executive.
Before working in JUS, I have held positions as Academic Director with UniSA College; Associate Head of School (Academic) for the School of Psychology, Social Work + Social Policy, where I was a Senior Lecturer and Associate Professor (Social Policy). It was also my privilege to work as a lecturer in the the David Uniapon College of Indigenous Education and Research. My experience prior to academe has included work in community development, research, policy, and management positions in both the community sector and State Government, as well as workingn in Australia's Commonwealth Parliament as a senior political advisor.
As well as my focus on all matters teaching and learning, I am an active researcher with a strong focus on social policy, Aboriginal community development, governance and wellbeing and enterprise development. My collaborative research has included ARC Discovery and Linkage projects; extensive CRC experience (Desert Knowledge CRC; Young and Well CRC and Remote and Economic CRC); AHURI projects and a range of community and industry partnership research projects.
I'd like to share with you a little of the values that animate my teaching and research activities; I passionately believe, as Freire (1985) tells us, that "besides being an act of knowing, education is a political act". As academics we have a unique privilege, a special opportunity and a gentle but constant duty to ourselves and each other to pursue excellence, fun and social justice in all areas of our scholarship :)
