Barbara began teaching Geography at the University of New England in 1994. She has had a long-standing interest in the Geography of developing nations and in social justice issues since completing undergraduate studies in Third World and Economic Geography and Asian History at the University of Sydney in the early 1980s. After subsequently completing a Diploma of Education, Barbara taught English, Geography and History in schools. In 1994, reflecting her ongoing interest in development issues, Barbara completed doctoral research on the policies and practices of Australian non-government development assistance organisations.

Barbara's research interests include the activities of non-government development assistance organisations and the impacts of their projects and programs, community development planning processes in remote Indigenous Australian communities, the social and environmental impacts of nature-based tourism development in northern Vietnam and the advocacy work of non-governmental development assistance organisations (NGOs).
