Professor emeritus in Education, La Trobe University

I am a writer, researcher and adult educator. I research tertiary, adult and workplace education by examining the globalising effects of lifelong learning policies and their effects through professional's situated learning for education, inter-professional work and learning and social change. My current projects use comparative historical sociologies of learning in creative non-fiction writing.
