As a research-practitioner, she is interested in ‘shifting pedagogies’ which can be disaggregated into three areas of focus which are interlinked and have enabled her to win external funding for international research projects. Her research investigates the way emerging Global Education pedagogies are transforming teaching practices, student learning experiences and educational opportunities in different contexts, locally, nationally and internationally. Her own PhD investigated the notion of pedagogic shift and transformational change in international partnerships and collaborations.
