A compassionate and considerate leader, driven by a long-held desire to foster collegial, inclusive, courageous, and innovative communities of academic and professional staff. I believe that workplace success and well-being begins with individuals embracing a sense of agency and initiative, confident that they are valued as individuals, and are members of a community that values them and their work. I bring a blended participatory and transformational style of leadership that is best suited to high-achieving academic environments. I strive to empower staff and provide them with an environment within which they can harness a sense of optimism and opportunity, seize initiatives, take control of their research and teaching, drive innovative new professional agendas, and thus, serve as models for leading the global development of knowledge.Key Research and Strategic Interests:* Southern and Indigenous Knowledges* Higher Education Student Retention and Success* Scholarly Conventions and Teaching Standards in History* Artificial Intelligence in the Higher Education Sector* Higher Education Employability and Work Readiness* Moral Economic Theory* Labour and Economic History
