Hello! I'm the online course facilitator for the Bachelor of Psychological Science and Sociology and have responsibility for leading the development and delivery of online teaching for UniSA Online students. My role involves working closely with divisional staff at UniSA to provide high-quality online teaching to undergraduate students, and to coordinate the day-to-day activities of online tutoring staff.
My social work practice and research has largely focused on community development approaches to fostering optimal wellbeing across the lifespan, especially youth transitions through schooling and into post-school environments. I'm keenly interested in factors that shape young people's identity 'choices' and formations; the structural and relational factors that impact on youth wellbeing in family, school and community contexts; and the promotion of civic participation as a critical building block for active youth citizenship and empowerment. I’ve researched, published and practiced in all of these areas, and I recently had a book published titled ‘Heavy Metal Youth Identities: Researching the Musical Empowerment of Youth Transitions and Psychosocial Wellbeing’. My current research interest is in bringing a youth lens to the Alliance for the Prevention of Interpersonal Violence.
