Biography
Dr Linda Henderson is a Senioir Lecturer, Early Years in the Faculty of Education at Monash University. Her cognate research area is Early Years Education. Her research faciltiates the reimagining of educational leadership that is underpinned by issues of social justice and equity. Her major project in this area is an ARC Discovery Project: Learning-rich leadership for quality improvement in early education. Employing feminist poststructuralist methodologies, she is particularly interested in exploring intersections between institutional cultures, the impact of reform measures and policy implementation, and the effects these have on the everyday work of teachers.
An important aspect of her work is that of enhancing health and wellbeing for those working in education contexts. She has a number of publications arising from this work, including an edited book engaging with the intersection between motherhood and working as an academic in the university and a significant number of publications exploring slow scholarship and walking methodologies. She has worked on a number of projects such as the evaluation of a Canine Court Program and Story Dog Reading Program.
