    Autism- let's talk about it! With Dr Cindy Smith
    Sep 9 2024

    This is the first of a 3 part series in which we explore the many labels of Autism and increasing prevalence in today's society.

    We are delighted to converse with WAIER committee member, Dr Cindy Smith who brings a wealth of wisdom and experience working with neurodiverse students and supporting those who teach and care for students with Autism.

    Cindy shares her lifelong disposition of curiousity, to inquire and seek to develop practical strategies to better support students demonstrating challenging behaviours.

    As well as ongoing educational research, developing undergraduate and professional teacher learning and development, Cindy also founded and supports a not-for-profit organisation, FACES.

    WAIER on the Wire: Series 4. Educational Exchange Rates and Funds of Knowledge with Dr Tetiana Bogachenko and Dr Rachel Burke
    Aug 28 2024

    Hosted by WAIER members Dr Paul Gardner and Jette Oksis we hear from educational researchers Dr Tetiana Bogachenko and Dr Rachel Burke as they explore insights from their recently published research.

    Tetiana and Rachel discuss Education—both formal and informal—as a fundamental human right and share the investigation required in the value of education as capital and the complexities of converting this capital in emergency international displacement.

    They shared insights about their pilot study with displaced people from Ukraine who arrived in Australia after February 2022 to explore the uptake and use of both formal and informal learning resources and opportunities.

    Their research is available through Open Access:
