Karina Barley serves as a Lecturer at Monash University's School of Curriculum, Teaching and Inclusive Education, where her work directly contributes to United Nations Sustainable Development Goals through research in inclusive educational practices and disability studies.
Her research program centers on Inclusive Education and Disability Studies, employing Autoethnography to investigate Child Sexual Abuse narratives and trauma-informed pedagogy. She utilizes reflective practice methodologies and arts-based approaches—including literary analysis and visual storytelling—to explore intersections between personal trauma, epiphany moments, and educational inclusion, with particular focus on generational abuse patterns and transformative teaching strategies.
Analysis of her 2020-2024 publications reveals consistent methodological commitment to autoethnography as a vehicle for examining abuse recovery and inclusive education. Her work demonstrates progressive thematic development from individual trauma narratives (2020) toward broader applications in professional development (2022) and generational mothering contexts (2024), consistently bridging personal narrative with systemic educational reform.
Barley actively engages in academic knowledge exchange through conference presentations including the Australian Association for Research in Education International Conference and Higher Education Research and Development Society of Australasia Annual Conference, demonstrating sustained scholarly contribution to inclusive education discourse.
