BiographyAnita teaches in mentoring and coaching units at undergraduate and postgraduate level, and in workplace learning and research related units in the Masters of Education. Anita coordinates the Faculty's postgraduate programs in mentoring and coaching, the Masters in Education (Research) program at Chisholm Institute of TAFE, and is course adviser for the Bachelor of Adult Learning & Development.
Anita is also Director of Researc Degrees for the Faculty.
Anita has researched and written in workplace learning, professional development and mentoring; community and trade union education; and higher education and research development. She brings a feminist analysis and an interest in gender to her work in each of these contexts. Some current projects address: the experiences of women working and learning in regional Australia; the role of work related learning in building sustainable communities; mentoring for change in contemporary organisations; and investigating how students from diverse backgrounds succeed in higher education.
Prior to entering academic work, Anita had a professional background in industrial research and advocacy, equal employment opportunity for women, and in leadership roles in workplace training and organisation development.
