Biography:

I began my career in education as a secondary physical education teacher in South Australia. I then completed a Masters degree at the University of British Columbia, Canada, and, after 4 years of lecturing, began my doctoral studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA.  I arrived in Newcastle, having completed my PhD in 1991.  My educational interests have consistently centred on issues to do with the quality of teaching and learning, and have ranged across such topics as teacher socialisation, alternative pedagogy, power relations in teaching, reform in teacher education, and pedagogical reform.

Major Accomplishments:

I was a key member of the research team that generated the concept of Productive Pedagogy and, with James Ladwig, was co-author of the NSW model of pedagogy known as “Quality Teaching.”  This work has had a major impact on schooling in Australia.   I am Associate Editor of the international journal Teaching and Teacher Education. I have held positions as President of the NSW Teacher Education Council, Executive member of the Australian Council of Deans of Education, and Research Training Coordinator for the Australian Association for Research in Education.  Major books include The Struggle for Pedagogies: Critical and feminist discourses as regimes of truth and Feminisms and Critical Pedagogy [edited with Carmen Luke].  I have also published numerous articles and chapters, and several works have been translated into other languages.  I have held a number of large and small research grants and acted in an advisory capacity for other research initiatives.
