My research focuses on the important role that early childhood experience plays in preparing children for school as well as for social and behavioural development throughout the school years. Working with Elder- and community-led participatory action research methodologies, I am particularly interested in how to connect this to strengths of Aboriginal people and culture.

I am also interested in how broader ecological factors like biodiversity loss, population growth and climate change will interact to affect children's development now and in the future.
