I have an extensive publication record spanning nearly 30 years.My primary research focus is engagement ‘with and within’ the digital environment and the implications this has for education and society. By necessity, this spans several disciplines.
My research focuses on educational psychology, with a particular emphasis on students' wellbeing, workplace diversity, Culturally and Linguistically Diverse (CALD) educational aspirations, education policy, online learning, digital engagement, and the use of AI in enhancing student learning.
