Personal profile
Biography
I advocate for change in tourism and business to prioritise sustainable outcomes for communities and their environments. I research how communities are affected by tourism and business, and the opportunities to centralise their goals in the decisions that affect them most. Reorientating the focus to communities can make substantial change for sustainable outcomes, especially for those most marginalised by these international activities. In addition to researching these areas, I focus on activating training and learning for the adoption of new approaches to address emerging sustainability challenges.
To enable this vision, I have purposefully developed my expertise in three areas. First, in tourism through understanding the causal and subtle roles the media in affecting tourists, destinations, and communities, and an appreciation of the transformative effects the interactions between community, tourists, and tourism can have, immediately and over time. Second, to understand and enable transformative learning experiences, I have explored the positive effects of active and collaborative learning, and the experiences of educators and students in these. Third, investigating the qualitative valuing and effectiveness of people, environment, and resources in business, and particularly the adoption of circular economy practices in business to address the barriers traditional business models create and impose.
I am an Associate Professor and Deputy Head in the Department of Management, Monash Business School at Monash University. I have qualifications in management (BCom and DipGrad, Otago), tourism (DipTour and PhD, Otago), and higher education (GCHE, Monash). I have been awarded a Senior Fellowship from the HEA, UK.
