Personal profile
Biography
I am a speech pathologist, and I study communication disabilities. I am interested in aphasia, and other acquired communication disabilities. My research focuses on communication in the course of everyday life, and related speech pathology assessment, intervention, and measurement practices.
I have expertise in ethnomethodological research methods, and particularly conversation analysis. I employ these methods with a view to exploring the interface between the organisation of interaction, language, cognition, and related impairments. I am especially interested in organisations of practice for interaction, including the turn-taking and repair systems, and the processes of action formation and ascription.
I currently supervise students conducting research on acquired communication disabilities, related speech pathology assessment and intervention, and everyday and institutional interactions across a variety of social activities and languages.
Teaching and Leadership
I am the Course Director of the Master of Speech and Language Pathology. I am responsible for the design, delivery, and evaluation of curriculum in this course. I am also a Speech Pathology Australia Accreditor of University Programs.
I teach in units of study for the Master of Speech and Language Pathology focused on a variety of topics, including the conceptual bases of speech pathology practice, acquired communication disabilities, and language and communication analysis.
