Amanda Keddie's research examines the broad range of schooling processes and conditions that can impact on the pursuit of social justice in schools including student identities, teacher identities, pedagogy, curriculum, leadership, school structures, policy agendas and socio-political trends. Katrina MacDonald's research is in social justice, educational leadership and the sociology of education through a practice lens. Her research has focused on principals' social justice understandings and practices, and the impact of school reform policies on just public schooling and the principal and teacher workforce. Brad Gobby's research interests include education policy, governance and politics and their implication for schools, teachers and principals. His specific research focus is using Foucauldian and critical scholarship to investigate how policies and policy discourses transform the school education domain, including teachers and school leadership.
