About me

Prof Shanahan has written over a hundred peer reviewed articles, book chapters, books and conference papers on historical aspects of wealth and income distribution, business cartels, trade practice law, and water use. He has also published extensively on university-student learning of economics, students’ research conceptions and threshold concepts. He was awarded an Australian Learning and Teaching Council Award for Teaching Excellence in 2009.

A successful grant winner, Prof Shanahan has been involved in several Australian Research Council Discovery and Linkage grants, as well as British and European grants. He is currently participating in international studies on living standards and the life-course in Australia and international cartels.

For the past decade, the work of Prof Shanahan and his colleagues has seen first-year economic students being asked to think about how they learn, as well as what they learn. The software underlying this work has been licensed to several universities around the world.

Teaching & student supervision

Highlights

In recent years I have taught Macroeconomics to first-year students, Economic Principles to masters students and International Trade. I have successfully supervised a number of PhD students. Together with colleagues I have received an Australian Learning and Teaching Council Award for Teaching Excellence and a Carrick Award for outstanding contribution to student learning . This was for our work on 'Learning to Learn' in Economics. My former PhD students have gone on to work in universities, regulation authorities and overseas in the private sector.
