EARLY RESEARCH - NATIONAL CONTEXTS AND CURRICULUM OF EDUCATION

At Macquarie University, I began to research curriculum studies and then the changing context and consequences of education. My PhD focused on the effects of the 1930s on secondary schooling. The books that followed were:

Seddon, T. 1993. Context and Beyond: Reframing the Theory and Practice of Education . London: Falmer

Seddon, T. and Deer, C.E. (Eds) 1992. A Curriculum for the Senior Secondary Years in Australia. Melbourne: ACER

1987-2005

RESPONSIBLE RESEARCH - NATIONAL-GLOBAL EDUCATIONAL CHANGE

At Monash University I focused on changing contexts of education, and different locales for learning. This work initially jumped the border between schools and TAFE, vocational education and training, then bounced on into studies of globalisation.The key books are:

Seddon, T. & Angus, L. 2000. Reshaping Australian Education: Beyond Nostalgia Camberwell, ACER.

Seddon, T. 1996. Pay, Professionalism and Politics: Reforming teachers? Reforming education? Hawthorne, ACER.

2005-2020

SPACE AND TIME RESEARCH - RESPATIALISING EDUCATION AND LOCATIONS FOR LEARNING

By 2005, my nationally-foucsed research was globalising, mainly through a longstanding involvement in the European Conference on Educational Research. This move opened up new networks and cross-national projects, in particular the Routledge World Yearbook of Education and studies of situated adult-professional learning. The books were:
