About

The pursuit of social justice and sustainability is at the heart of my teaching and research. I have extensive experience conducting research in a government and academic context across the following main areas: decent work and responsible management practices; education-to-employment transitions; and critical and cultural engagements with waste.

My work contributes towards the following SDGs: SDG4 Quality Education; SDG5 Gender Equality; SDG8 Decent Work & Economic Growth; SDG10 Reduced Inequalities; SDG11 Sustainable Cities & Communities; and SDG16 Peace, Justice & Strong Institutions.

I am currently accepting applications for PhD, Masters by Research and Honours students seeking to undertake critical qualitative research in my areas of research expertise.
