I spend about one-quarter of my time teaching at universities in Australia and overseas.

 

I offer courses in housing design, evaluation, community engagement, design of public spaces and parks, social research methods, community visioning, environmental ethics, professional ethics. … a huge range of topics that reflect my interests, education and experience.

 

For five years until 2012, I taught the Professional Ethics for Planners course for the Planning Institute of Australia for Certified Practicing Planner (CPP) certification.

 

In 2012, I rewrote the syllabus for the ethics course.

Harvard Graduate School of Design

In February 2013, I taught at the Graduate School of Design at Harvard University, in an Urban Planning Studio for first-year postgraduate planning students.
