I supervise Honours, Masters, and PhD students at the University of Sydney, and their research projects have broadly focused on learning and literacy. Recent projects have included research into children’s literacy practices in a technology-rich primary school, young adults’ poetic literacy practices in digital spaces, pre-service English teachers’ professional learning within a Facebook group, English teachers’ use of Twitter to support their professional development, and many more.
We collaborate on their study design, I mentor them through data collection and data analysis, and we aim to share the findings with a wide audience. My students and I have published chapters in several edited collections and articles in peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of Adolescent and Adult Literacy, Learning, Media and Technology, Australian Journal of Language and Literacy, English in Australia, and Asia-Pacific Journal of Teacher Education, and they have presented their research at the Literacy Research Association and United Kingdom Literacy Association conferences.
If you are interested in working together, please review the available courses within the Sydney School of Education and Social Work and contact me.
