Academic career

edit

Anderson is a qualified teacher, and worked in primary schools in Christchurch and Palmerston North before moving to Dunedin in 2002.[1] Her experience accessing education as a parent led her to postgraduate study in education.[2][1] She completed a PhD titled The experiences of international and New Zealand women in New Zealand higher education at the University of Otago in 2009, supervised by Karen Nairn and Jacqueline Leckie.[3][1] Anderson worked as a research fellow in the university's dental school, before being appointed as a lecturer in the College of Education at Otago, rising to associate professor in 2021 and full professor in 2024.[4][5] Since 2021, she has been the dean of the university's College of Education.[1]

Anderson's research covers the accessibility to children and young people of quality education, focusing on issues such as educational mobility, education pathways and equity and access.[5][1] She is interested in educational policy and practice across varied settings including school, university, vocational education and health profession education.[5] She has a particular interest in the education experiences of migrants and refugees, and has a three-year research project with young people with refugee backgrounds, exploring their transition from secondary to tertiary education.[6][1]

Anderson works internationally and supervises doctoral students in Japan, Fiji, Malaysia and Cambodia.[5][7]
