Between 2005 and 2015, I was a Lecturer and Course Coordinator for five subjects at UNSW Arts, Design and Media (formerly UNSW College of Fine Arts/COFA), teaching both undergraduate and postgraduate students in the School of Art History and Theory, and the School of Art Education.

These subjects included:
Communication in Art, Design and Media – exploring strategies for effective visual and verbal communication within creative and community contexts.
Organisational Psychology for the Arts – examining psychological principles to enhance teamwork, leadership, and creative collaboration in arts organisations.
Educational Psychology in Arts Education – focusing on pedagogy, inclusive learning strategies, and supporting diverse learners in arts contexts.
Art as Therapy – investigating the therapeutic potential of creative practice to support wellbeing, social connection, and personal development.
Arts Management and Organisation – providing theoretical and practical frameworks for managing cultural institutions, creative projects, and community-based initiatives.

In 2025, I have returned to teach into:
Cultural Management and Policy – exploring strategies for managing cultural organisations, programs, and projects, integrating policy frameworks, community engagement, and sustainable practices to support the arts sector.
Art, Exhibitions and Institutions – investigating the role of museums, galleries, and alternative exhibition spaces in shaping cultural knowledge, audience engagement, and participatory arts experiences.
Exhibiting Cultures – examining the processes, ethics, and strategies involved in curating and presenting cultural narratives, with a focus on inclusive, community-informed, and socially engaged exhibition practice.

My teaching has consistently emphasised the value of Third Places, CACD and placemaking approaches, preparing students to develop community-led projects, engage diverse audiences, and create inclusive creative spaces.

During my tenure at UNSW, I was awarded the Inaugural UNSW COFA Dean’s Award for Teaching and was a regular guest presenter at UNSW Academic Learning and Teaching workshops, sharing strategies for integrating participatory learning, visual communication, and student engagement into education. I have also delivered industry presentations for NAVA (National Association for Visual Arts), SAMAG (Sydney Arts Management Advisory Group), MCA (Museum of Contemporary Art) for Vivid Festival, and MGNSW (Museums and Galleries NSW), bridging academic, professional, and community contexts.

UNSW Art, Design and Architecture is Australia’s largest community of art and design practitioners, researchers, educators, and students, and is internationally recognised for its arts-led transdisciplinary research and community engagement.
