Documentation: An Active Agent
Published 2022
2022 Research Symposium. Reggio Emilia Australia Information Exchange, 08/07/2022–09/07/2022, Online
Drawing on several research projects that have deployed understandings of what is sometimes called ‘pedagogical documentation’ as conceptualised and practised by the educational project of Reggio Emilia, the presentation will illuminate how the doings of documentation can provoke particular ethical considerations which have social and environmental implications. Understanding documentation as performative can alert educators to what it and the tools of documentation might produce beyond human intentions, and open them up to more-than-human relations within research and educational assemblages.

Thinking with thrombolites, extinction, and education
Date presented 2020
The Ediths' Roundtable, 26/05/2020, Edith Cowan University, WA
We are living in a time of an unprecedented mass extinction, a time when right on our doorsteps, forms of life are slipping away, often unnoticed. What might this mean for education? Drs Jane Merewether (ECU), Brad Gobby (Curtin), Annette Nykiel (artist-researcher) and groups of young children have been visiting thrombolites, a form of life at Noorook Yalgorup-Lake Clifton (100 km south of Perth) that now teeters on the edge of extinction. Please join them this week in thinking with thrombolites, extinction, and education.
