His research interests lie at the intersection of performing arts and higher education, with a focus on teaching excellence, the evolving academic role, and the challenges posed by massification, internationalisation, and marketization in universities. His work critically examines the 'unbundling' of academic roles and the relative status of teaching, research, and administration in contemporary academia.
The trends in his scholarly work emphasize pedagogical innovation and the need for greater recognition of teaching quality in higher education. His sole listed publication explores parallels between performing arts practice and academic teaching, advocating for a more balanced and valued approach to pedagogy.
