Kerry Power is a Lecturer at Monash University's School of Education Culture & Society, Faculty of Education, teaching educational research methods, environmental and sustainability science education, transdisciplinary learning, and specializing in visual art and media education for pre-service teachers across early years, primary, and secondary levels.
Her research employs diffraction and new materialism theory to investigate art and media teacher education, with core interests in environmental sustainability pedagogy, critical thinking development, and digital ethics. She examines how virtual platforms like Twitter enable intra-active processes in art education while challenging conventional research boundaries through post-qualitative methodologies.
Recent publications (2018-2023) demonstrate evolving focus from art education on social media to pandemic-responsive sustainability curricula and ethical virtual research frameworks. Her work consistently bridges new materialist philosophy with practical teacher training, emphasizing diffraction as both artistic methodology and research paradigm across educational contexts.
Scientific recognition includes:
- CTIE Award for Teaching Associate of the Year (2024)
- Early Career Researcher travel award (2023)
- FHEA fellowship (2022)
Dr. Power actively shapes academic discourse through conference leadership including AARE Reimagining Educational Research (2021) and TVAD Symposium keynotes (2019), while currently accepting PhD students to advance transdisciplinary approaches in art and sustainability education.
