I am the convenor of Gender Studies and a practicing psychotherapist. Teaching and research interests include relational philosophy and praxis, experiential education, post-oppositional politics, and feminist thought, and I have experience leading humanities/STEM collaborations as well as place-based and transdisciplinary collaborations between university and community partners. My research and teaching is facilitative, deploying communicative and organisational processes that foster diversity and inclusion, through making visible the cultural roots of inequality, emphasising ‘eloquent listening’ and stressing the importance of ‘first person research’ or internal work/knowledge. My work is designed to produce attitudinal shifts in individuals that will support them to advocate for and lead a more diversified, tolerant, and communicatively competent workforce, government, society, and culture.
I arrived at this praxis via thoroughly humanistic pathways: a Bachelor of Arts majoring in history and English, a PhD in History and Women’s Studies, and an interdisciplinary teaching career in the fields of cultural studies, communication and media studies, and gender studies; complemented by creative praxis as a musician and dancer, as well as industry experience as a film-maker and screenwriter which included major projects—including a full-length feature film—supported by private investors and entities such as Screenwest. As a result, my work foregrounds the value of a humanities education in supporting transformative experiential learning experiences, new paradigms for collaboration between universities and their constituents, and (re)conceptualised understandings of leadership.

Co-leading the design of collaborative and multi-stakeholder processes for stewarding mine closure and relinquishment
The mining industry is of signature importance to the economies of Western Australia and Australia. It is also a focal point for social tensions arising from the inequalities and privilege that have resulted from the intertwined histories of colonisation, capitalism and patriarchal domination. The industry is now at a 'tipping point' in terms of reckoning with these histories, and my current work stewards the possibilities for economic and social transformation that flow from this awareness.
