BiographyTerri Seddon has a national and international reputation for her research on the social organization of education as a social institution. This work is cross-sectoral in orientation, looking at schools, vocational and higher education, and workplace and community learning contexts in order to understand learning, work practices and organisational and decision-making processes in diverse learning spaces. She has particular research interests in partnership work and the challenges in constructing knowledge-sharing networks and collective agency across boundaries.
She has published widely in journals and published books including 'Curriculum for the Senior Secondary Years' (with Professor Christine Deer, ACER, 1992), a study of trends in Year 11 and 12 curriculum and assessment. 'Context and Beyond' (Falmer, 1993), an analysis of the changing context of education and its effects in re-shaping educational provision and practice. 'Pay, Professionalism and Politics' (ACER, 1996), a study of teacher award restructuring in the 1990s. In 2000 she published 'Reshaping Australian Education: Beyond Nostalgia' (ACER) with Professor Lawrence Angus. She is currently editor, with Professor Jenny Ozga (Edinburgh) and Professor Evie Zambeta (Athens), of the World Yearbook of Education (Routledge, Taylor and Francis). With Professor Jenny Ozga and Tom Popkewitz, she edited the 2006 volume titled, 'Education Research and Policy: Steering the Knowledge-Based Economy'.
Terri Seddon has substantial experience in managing funded research projects and consultancies. This work has been concentrated in Australia but has also involved projects in Europe and Kazakhstan. She is co-ordinator of Crosslife, a Socrates funded project on cross-cultural collaboration in lifelong learning and work. Through the Centre for Work and Learning Studies, and collaborative research partnerships with European and other Australian universities, she is building an extended capacity for research and research training in lifelong learning, work and citizenship.
She has been commissioned to undertake a range of academic reviews and research assessments. She has chaired and been members of academic reviews at the Universities of South Australia, RMIT, Tasmania and within Monash University. She was a member of the Australian Research Council College of Experts, sitting on the Social, Behavioural, and Economic Sciences panel (2005-7). She has also undertaken research assessments for the European Commission and the UKs Economic and Social Research Council.
Research InterestsTerri Seddon's research contributes to the historical sociology of education as a social institution. Her PhD examined the restructuring of school education in the 1930s depression in New South Wales in the context of the economic, social and political settlement that was consolidated in the late 18th and early 20th centuries. Subsequent work traced contemporary education restructuring in schools and in postcompulsory and adult learning contexts. This sequence of studies has explored the social organisation of learning and the way it is organised, regulated and practiced within different settings which are each subject, in different ways, to economic reform and increased individiualisation of social life. This program of research has considered continuity and change in education policy and governance, organization and management, teachers and managers work, curriculum and pedagogy, industrial relations and political movements. While the primary focus of this research has been on national developments within Australia, she also considers the impact of globalisation and other cross-scale effects in education and the implications of transnationalism within contemporary cultural experience on education. This research program has focused particularly on European and Australian education and work in the context of emerging knowledge economies confronting challenges of social cohesion and inclusion. These explorations have opened up questions about the nature of learning and learning spaces; the trajectory of lifelong learning for work, life and citizenship; and the challenges confronting educators and their practices of educational work.
