Biography
Catherine Doherty came to teacher education with teaching experience in adult literacy, migrant English, tertiary preparation and community education settings, and policy and curriculum experience in the TAFE sector. Her doctorate examined how cultural identities were produced and performed in online internationalised higher education. She has since conducted research into: the moral order of extended compulsory schooling; the International Baccalaureate as a curriculum of choice in Australian schools; the educational strategies of mobile families; public debates around curricular citizenships; oracy demands in university pedagogy and assessment; and curriculum and pedagogy for international students in Australian universities. Her current project with Associate Professor Karen Dooley investigates the shadow market in private tutoring for literacy achievement in primary school.
