Professional biography

 

My main research interests at present are identifying and measuring the signs of a well-functioning community; social memory and its impact on policy; the City of Goulburn in the second half of the 19th Century; measuring Australia's social progress; education and community wellbeing (based on Mildura). My principal community involvements are - the role of  'critical friend' to the Australian Social Inclusion Board; being an active patron of Mallee Family Care in Mildura; and research advisor to Jesuit Social Services in Victoria.
