Teaching

I am a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and an Associate Fellow (Indigenous Knowledge) of the Higher Education Academy.

My teaching focuses on developing critical thinking skills, embracing multi-stakeholder perspectives and achieving sustainable and socially responsible outcomes. In recent years I have taught the undergraduate units BSB250 Business Citizenship, MGB310 Managing Sustainable Change, MGB348 Implementing Sustainable Change and MGB306 Independent Project and the postgraduate units BSN502 Research Methodology, GSZ633 Managing Outwards in a Networked Government (as part of the Public Sector Management Program), and MGN509 Independent HRM Project

I am committed to enhancing my teaching practice by engaging in the Scholarship of Learning and Teaching and have published on work-integrated learning as well as approaches to student engagement through an ethics of care. In 2017 I received an Australian Awards for University Teaching (AAUT) citation for Outstanding Contributions to Student Learning and in 2020 I was awarded the inaugural Carumba Institute Embedding Indigenous Perspectives Outstanding Proposal Award .
