As a researcher, Jimmy takes an emancipatory approach to education, aiming to elevate the interests of students and promote meaningful learning experiences. His research into transformative learning in higher education seeks to understand the unique learning experiences of students at Australian universities and foster teaching and learning practices that facilitate critical reflection, meaning making, and a greater understanding of self.
