Dr Belinda Beattie

Knowing that good teaching facilitates the growth and development of learners drives my passion to be a leading-edge teacher. Belinda achieves this through an inclusive pedagogy that applies a universal approach to learning: where diversity and equity are valued. Curriculum design then imbues a sense of belonging and success in the diversity of learning formats and instruction provided within an online environment. Key outcomes achieved are:

* consistent high achievement in student and unit evaluations;
* online learning expertise. And;
* a strong skill set in developing and implementing educational technology applications in the university sector.

Belinda's research explores how ideas become principles that public organisations institute. In particular, deviance in rural and regional mining communities and through the lens of community, public policy and media. She is also interested in the human element of Australia's First and Second Federal Parliamentarians and the current academic area of Indigenous and settler colonialism studies.

Belinda also enjoys writing about acclaimed Australian leaders for primary school-aged readers. Her latest book is Alfred Deakin https://www.littlesteps.com.au/books/alfred-deakin

Belinda is interested in supervising higher degree projects exploring public policy, including those interested in humanities or social science matters. She is also interested in rural/regional communities and social deviance during Federation or the long Victorian period.

Belinda's service record to the university sector demonstrates success and commitment to leading and working with others. Driven to better the university and the communities served, Belinda values governance and the importance of collegiality and commitment to shared goals and outcomes.
