Megan is an Associate Professor and Graduate Research Lead (GRL) in the School of Curriculum, Teaching and Inclusive Education (CTI). As a qualified teacher, Megan has extensive experience in Australian and international educational contexts ranging from pre kindergarten to the tertiary level.

Megan’s research interest has a focus on inclusion and diversity, and in particular she is working towards understanding ways to reduce education inequalities for marginalised groups. One of her current research projects involves working with preservice teachers and their transitions into the teaching profession, and ways to support diverse learners in their school classrooms. Megan also works with school leadership and teachers (locally and internationally) to understand different perspectives concerning the recent and rapid changes in education and how this affects professional learning of teachers and in turn learners.

Megan is currently Course Leader for the Graduate Certificate of Education Research, which is a pathway to a PhD for high performing students. As an extension of this role, she has undertaken the Graduate Research Lead in the CTI School. Working closely with the Head of School (Professor Ruth Jeanes) she provides academic leadership and management in programme specific aspects of the Higher Degree by Research  offered in the Faculty of Education, alongside strategic planning and graduate research supervisor development. Her main aim in this role is to foster a positive graduate research culture and promote diversity, inclusion, access and equity for current and prospective students’ and their supervisors.
