My collaborators derive from many nations including UK, USA, Japan, South Korea, and New Zealand. I have published with many top national and international journals and university publishers. My research partners have ranged across the public and private sectors to include Shell Corporation, the South Korean Government, the Federal Department of Veterans Affairs, the NSW Office of Women, the National Council of Wool-selling Brokers, the Australian Bureau of Statistics, and the Australian Museum. I was elected a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences in Australia (2006) and have served the Australian Research Council in various roles particularly as a member of the College of Experts (2013-17). I have held various visiting fellowships including at Harvard Business School and the London School of Economics.
