Ilana Finefter-Rosenbluh is a Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Education, Monash University. A former postdoctoral fellow and research affiliate with the Justice in Schools project at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, her research focuses on the intersection of assessment, educational ethics and student voice to enhance teacher practice and education outcomes for all students. By strategically positioning educational ethics and developing the concept of student voice-based assessment, Ilana seeks to inform more ethically grounded forms of practice and advance educational equity in contemporary schools and communities.

Ilana has co-founded and co-leads the Australasia-U.S. Educational Equity Hub (AUSEEH) project, housed within the School of Curriculum, Teaching & Inclusive Education, Faculty of Education, Monash University and the Department of Agricultural Economics, Sociology, and Education in Penn State University, USA. AUSEEH links scholars, educators, policymakers, NGOs and students to develop and distribute student voice research and ethical resources to help diverse groups develop their capacity to (re)assess and tackle issues of educational inequity.

Ilana's work has been supported by various Foundations and government organisations, including the U.S. Department of State - the U.S. Embassy & Consulates in Australia, the Trawalla Foundation, the Besen Family Foundation, and the Loti and Victor Smorgon Family Foundation. She has worked with a range of institutions and professional organisations and associations, including the Australian Council for Educational Leaders, the Australian Council for Student Voice, the Australian Council for Educational Research, the Victorian Academy of Teaching and Leadership, and Social Education Victoria. Affiliated to the UNESCO Chair for Community, Leadership, and Youth Development at the Penn State University, Ilana has been leading the design of educational research programs to provide worldwide opportunities for educators and youth to advance their communities.

A school counsellor by training, Ilana draws upon her extensive work experiences in diverse international educational environments. She has published in leading research journals, including the Journal of Teacher Education, Teaching and Teacher Education, and the Journal of Education Policy.
