My research is multi-disciplinary and explores cultural competence as it intersects with cultural studies, Indigenous methodologies, Indigenous studies, health and social and emotional wellbeing, cultural studies, Whiteness, critical race theory as well as leadership and organisational change. My interests are developing understanding of cultural competence in higher education and other sectors. Key thematic areas are:

• Investigating cultural responsiveness and the leadership capabilities and organisational structures required to engage ethically and appropriately with diversity.
• Anti-racism theories and strategies to engage with privilege power, and Whiteness particularly as it intersects with individual and cultural change.
• Critical pedagogies and culturally competent curriculum.
