Profile
Leanne Higham
When I look back to my initial forays into postgraduate study in Education, I now recognise I was a teacher in search of solutions. Closely examining a so-called ‘wicked problem’ like violence has really illuminated, for me, how education is complex, located across multiple disparate and often competing paradigms, underpinned by a range of differing values. For me this is why I consider that how we approach complex problems must be through nuanced responses that are specific to their contexts, and not one-size-fits-all solutions that are positioned to be universally applicable.
