Conversations with the Dean: Stephen Dobson | Ep 4 | Dr Karena Menzie-Ballantyne unpacks global citizenship

In this next episode of Conversations with the Dean, Professor Stephen Dobson sits down with Dr Karena Menzie-Ballantyne, a Bundaberg-based Senior Lecturer and researcher in Education at CQUniversity.

Dr Menzie-Ballantyne talks about her life's journey to "find her passion" in education. She talks about how teaching often gets a bad wrap, yet is a very fulfilling career where you often learn as much from your students as they do from you.

She also unpacks her research interest into global citizenship and discusses her latest role with UNESCO in developing a Road Map to address their Recommendation on Education for Peace, Human Rights and Sustainability. She talks about how CQUniversity is leading a charge for systemic change in education across the Asia Pacific region nurturing global citizens and securing sustainable futures.

'Conversations with the Dean: Stephen Dobson' is a regular podcast where Professor Dobson chats with interesting academics and researchers about their life's work and current affairs.
