Bronwen’s PhD research (2010-2015) is in Visual and Creative Arts Education, School of Education, Faculty of Human Sciences, Macquarie University, Sydney.

Research Interests
Bronwen’s current PhD research project focuses on the relationship between Teacher Education programs and developing critical and creative skills in pre-service primary Arts teachers. The main goal of her research is to form socio-cultural partnerships with diverse cultural and artistic communities of practice (CoP) and educational institutions. Current partnerships include working with diverse Artists from Australia, Shanghai, Singapore and Taiwan and bilingual education in Australia and China.
