BIO

Linda is a senior lecturer who teaches in the Faculty of Education's secondary teacher education programmes, and the Masters of Education. Linda’s teaching and research enable her to explore her passion for breaking through stereotyped ideas, essentialized notions, and deficit theorizing that minoritize some groups of students in education.

Linda is an internationally respected scholar in the field of funds of knowledge. Her doctoral thesis was entitled "Applying funds of knowledge in a New Zealand high school: The emergence of team-based collaboration as an approach." In this study, small teams of students, parents and teachers negotiated, implemented, and evaluated strategies for the teacher to learn about the students’ funds of knowledge. This research question and approach tied together Linda’s interest in drawing on perspectives of multiple participants - especially minoritized students - and investigating impacts arising when teachers learn about their funds of knowledge.

In her research, Linda collaborates with international scholars from USA and The Netherlands, and her work is published in top academic journals, including Review of Education Research, and Teaching and Teacher Education. Her edited book, Pedagogies of with-ness: Students, teachers, voice and agency (2021), which won a Choice Academic Book Award, was a collaboration with Kevin Stockbridge, Charlotte Achieng-Evensen and Suzanne SooHoo (Chapman University, California).

Linda brings a wealth of applied professional experience in education to her academic role. She is a fully registered secondary school teacher with more than twenty years’ experience in New Zealand and the Cook Islands. Her diverse roles have included teaching, middle management, resource development, advisory work, and professional development related to effective pedagogy, culturally responsive teaching, and commerce education.
