"What gives me greatest satisfaction in teaching is students who want to learn, who ask themselves hard questions.

"That is what we are here for."

"I have an abiding, strong interest in social and political change, especially with respect to globalisation, capitalist development, and transnational activism. This is reflected in my teaching in units on the Asia Pacific in the global system, international political economy and gender and development."

"University should be about exploring the unknown and turning our everyday assumptions upside down.

What better way to embark on this experience of Discovery than by exploring other cultures?"

"Learning at university is about taking some time to explore your own thinking, to question why you see the world the way you do and to consider alternative ideas and views that can alter your view of yourself and others in the broader community." "Ordinary people in post-conflict countries often show amazing strength and creativity in dealing with their problems.My goal is to convey the reality of life in post-conflict countries to students in Australia, and to carry some of the passion and empathy of Australian students back to poor countries.."
