Through her role she has contributed to the PACE objective of enhancing community-university relations through transformative learning and teaching, research and community service and engagement. Kate’s work focuses on several projects which take an applied, action-oriented and collaborative approach to research characterised by community partnerships, co-creation of knowledge and an ethics of reciprocity. She is currently leading the Macquarie University component of a cross-institutional research project on “Developing social network capabilities for graduate employability” with QUT and ECU funded by Graduate Careers Australia. She holds an ARC Discovery grant (2019-2021) on Intergenerational communication of Indigenous knowledges and has held an OLT grant on co-creating curriculum with PACE international partners in Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Philippines, India, Fiji, Indonesia and Peru. Kate is also passionate about innovative teaching, curriculum development and course design in the area of experiential and work integrated learning. She has developed innovative content to unit material by reintroducing field work to the geography department, developing on-line role plays, running international fieldschools, and co-creating curriculum with international community partners.
