Research expertise

I am qualified in Education, Theology, Anthropology and Philosophy. I have particular expertise in matters of religion, ethics, values and their application to curriculum. This background has led to a particular species of research in education. In the early 1990s, I was involved in the development of professional ethics, especially in medicine, allied with the creation of the inaugural ethics committee for the University. This led to collaborative work in several fields of ethics and bioethics. After being appointed to an administrative role in education, I took much of this background into educational research, so applying philosophical and ethical perspectives to a range of educational issues, including curriculum, religion in education and values education. I have also engaged in higher education focussed research, especially concerned with the role of the doctorate. Since retirement from my administrative post, I have been mainly involved in teaching and research within the Discipline of Philosophy, Religion and Theology. During my career, I have secured over A$2m of research funds through the University and/or other public bodies, have written and edited a number of academic books (including translations) and over 100 refereed journal articles and book chapters. I currently have in excess of 300 Scopus citations and over 1000 Google Scholar citations.
