Dr Anne Price is a lecturer in Curriculum and Professional Development. She is Deputy Program Chair (Primary Teacher Education), Academic Coordinator of Primary School Experience and coordinates both Curriculum Development for Practitioners and Professional Issues in Teaching.

Anne was formerly a secondary teacher and Deputy Principal and has extensive experience working in remote indigenous and multicultural communities and District High Schools. Anne has particular expertise in Initial Teacher Education (ITE) and strategies for the recruitment and training of ITE students from 'non-mainstream' backgrounds - the subject of her doctoral dissertation.

Anne's work builds on critical discourse theory as a way to make connections between language/discourse and broader ideological power structures. She has a particular interest in the way social relations, identity and power are constructed through the discourses of schools and higher education institutions and the impact these have on reproducing educational inequality.

Other interests include action research, teacher research and professional learning as well as education for language and cultural minorities. She is also interested in investigating the challenges facing educators in the comtemporary context of changing work patterns, demographics, cultural practices and information and communication technologies.

Further information about teaching, research and professional activities of staff is available in the School of Education Annual Reports.
