Teo's research examines raced and gendered subjectivities of migrant teachers from 'Asian' backgrounds in Australian education, focusing on critical pedagogies that deconstruct whiteness in classrooms. His methodological expertise lies in critical autoethnography, exploring intersections of migration, racism, sexism, and multiculturalism through reflexive inquiry.
Recent publications analyze anti-Asian racism post-pandemic, pedagogical paradoxes in ethnoburb schools, and global antiracism frameworks. He advocates for structural racism education in schools, emphasizing safe classroom spaces and teacher training to address systemic inequities.
