His main teaching is in the graduate programs in Community Psychology and in supervising student research. His major research focus is in the psychological sense of community, how it can be used as an including or excluding factor, and concerns about its research methodology. Adrian was born in Perth, Western Australia and after a variety of work and travel adventures studied Psychology at the Western Australian Institute of Technology (now Curtin University). It was there that he was introduced to Community Psychology. From Curtin, he moved to the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, eventually completing his Master’s and Ph.D. degrees. In 1989 he moved to Melbourne to establish a CP program. This is the foundation of the program that operates successfully at Victoria University.
