About

My work is guided by a vision for people of all linguistic and cultural backgrounds to thrive through education, health and civic participation. My research, teaching and community work center on advancing theoretic-strategic knowledge to shape multilingual and intercultural knowledge production and community participation in education and health. 

 

I publish extensively on Indigenous and migrant knowledge approaches to doctoral education, teacher education, digital learning, and language education. I have collaborated with government and industry partners including NSW Office of Preventive Health, NSW Connect Child and Family Services,  Microsoft, Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Department of Home Affairs,  NSW Department of Education, Victorian Department of Education, Community Languages Australia, Victorian School of Languages, Ningbo Education Bureau, Fujian Department of Education, and International Baccalaureate Organization through various projects on intercultual research and leadership capacity building, Indigenous and migrant community engagement, digital education and teacher education.

 

I have had the priviledge of collaborating with and learning from around 50 culturally and linguistically diverse communities in Australia through various research, teaching and community roles.
