Highlights

Jane's teaching areas have been in all year levels of Interior Architecture Studio and in the Graduate Diploma of Design (Interior Architecture) and Master of Design (Interior Architecture). Her teaching addresses themes of memory, identity and the everyday and alliances of food with design as a teaching pedagogy which aligns with her research interests.  These awarded teaching practises respond to cultural difference and expression, clear language, flexibility, regional and cultural specificity, health, climate and environment and socio-economic circumstances.  Jane has developed a highly integrated program for post graduate studies which engages students in real projects that make connections with industry and local government client groups. These germane projects replicate professional practise of design and directly prepare students for employment while forging industry connections.
