Adivsory Board Member
Just retired after 6 years on the committee and last year as Chairman of the Asia Pacific Network of Moral Education (mandatory retire after 6 years - but great new team). PhD completed earlier in 2015, now readying research projects in schools using Virtues Project as an Honorary Fellow at Melbourne Graduate School of Education (ranked First in Australia, and in top 10 in the world QS rankings). Continuing as a psychologist in GP clinics part time along with an October start job as MinEduVic Psychologist part time covering 3 primary, 2 English language schools for immigrants and one high school. I am most interested in systems change for character building supported by both practitioner work with individuals and organizations, as well as academic research and field research that supports this overall objective.
