Academic

In January 2011, I joined the School of Human Services and Social Work in the Health Group at Griffith University as Senior Lecturer and Convenor of Disability Studies.

In 2012, I redesigned the Disability Studies stream so that it is framed by the principles of participation and social inclusion.

The disability studies courses are 'Conversations about Disability'; 'Disability: The Individual and Families' (suspended in 2013); 'Disability Perspectives' (also offered as an undergraduate course called 'Disability and Difference'); and 'Disability: The Inclusion Project.'

Students can upgrade their Graduate Certificate into a Masters in Human Services (Disability Studies) by undertaking a further 40 credit points of study. (New AQF standards introduced in 2014 may require an increase in the number of additional credit points of study).
