Dr Christopher Hudson is a lecturer in the Institute of Education, Arts and Community at Federation University, Australia. He teaches units across the Master of Teaching and Bachelor of Secondary Education (Health and Physical Education) degrees.
He has two main research areas. First, research that focuses on the nexus of school context, school leadership and school success. His doctoral research used multiple-perspective, mixed method case study methodology to further develop knowledge on successful rural school leadership. Second, research that focuses on the intersection of social justice and sports pedagogy. He is also author of the book, 'Leading positive classrooms - adopting an educative approach to behaviour management in schools'.
Dr Christopher Hudson’s research is backed by his extensive experience as an educator in government schools in Victoria, Australia. As a school leader, he specialised in creating and facilitating community-based personal development programs for young people who were at risk of disengaging from school. His ability to form strong school-community relationships resulted in many young people broadening their skill sets, developing positive relationships in the community, (re)engaging with mainstream education, and building positive conflict resolution skills.
In 2023, he received an ACEL New Voice in Educational Leadership Research Scholarship, which recognises emerging leaders in the field.
