Louise McCuaig is an Honorary Associate Professor and Project Manager at the School of Human Movement and Nutrition Sciences at the University of Queensland. With a focus on health and physical education (HPE), she explores critical pedagogy, curriculum development, and the intersection of health education with social justice.
- PhD in Education from the University of Queensland (2008)
- Research interests: Critical HPE, health literacy, teacher education, school-family-community partnerships
- Collaborated with scholars like Eimear Enright, Doune Macdonald, and Karen Shelley
- Current projects: Teacher wellbeing interventions, external curriculum provision, and salutogenesis theory
Her publications span books, book chapters, and 35+ journal articles, emphasizing policy analysis, critical discourse, and pastoral power dynamics. While her 2021 studies with Hepburn et al. highlight teacher stress management, her 2020 work with Quennerstedt and 2019 research with Shelley address physical literacy and boundary-spanning teaching roles.
McCuaig's work challenges normative HPE practices and advocates for transformative educational frameworks that bridge health, policy, and social equity. She has contributed to global conferences on HPE curriculum redesign since 2007.
