A Professor of Geography, my own research is motivated by trying to understand the conditions in which people flourish in place, in their movements, in daily life, and over the life-course. In 2021, I was honoured to be the Institute of Australian Geographers’ recipient of the Griffith Taylor Medal in recognition of distinguished contributions to Geography in Australia.
I was Head of the School of Geography and Environmental Studies from mid-2005 to the end 2013; inaugural Director of the Peter Underwood Centre for Educational Attainment from mid-2015 to April 2017; and a research professor in the Institute for the Study of Social Change from April 2017 to December 2019. I returned to the College of Sciences and Engineering in January 2020 to lead first the School of Technology, Environments and Design and then the three Schools that have been created from STED in 2021.
Prior to coming to the University of Tasmania, I taught at University of New South Wales (Canberra) and before then was engaged in casual teaching and doctoral research at the University of Adelaide, where my PhD was awarded without amendment. I began my academic career at 22 as a tutor in geography at Flinders University, where I was awarded the University Medal and a first class honours degree, having majored in geography and visual art history and theory.
