Jane's research interests are in the areas of educational leadership for social justice, with a particular focus on issues of gender and ethnicity; and theorizing educational leadership as practice, drawing on sociologist Pierre Bourdieu's work and the philosopher, Ted Schatzki. Jane has published widely in the areas of women and leadership, refugee students and theorizing leadership as practice. Her most recent books include: Professional development: Education for All as praxis (Wilkinson, Bristol, Ponte, 2016); and Changing practices, changing education (Kemmis, Wilkinson et al., 2014). The latter book is based on an Australian Research Council Discovery grant examining the interconnections between leading, professional development, teaching and student learning in exemplary primary schools in two Australian states.
