Robyne Garrett is Senior Lecturer in Health and Physical Education, dance and teaching methodologies in the Education Futures Academic Unit, University of South Australia. Her undergraduate teaching degree specialised in Physical Education and Dance and she taught for a number of years at diverse secondary schools before furthering her dance background at the Laban Centre for Movement and Dance in London. After this time she was integral to introducing Dance as a subject within the curriculum and served as both a curriculum writer and professional educator in the field. Her teaching experiences in Australia and England include age groups from early childhood to Year 12 as well as experience in special education and with students at risk. Her doctoral studies focused on the construction of gender in physical activity contexts and she has since worked in the tertiary sector where her creative and body-based methodologies are widely utilised as strategies for developing teaching pedagogy. She is committed to socially just and culturally sustainable practice within Health and Physical Education as well as classroom practice and her ongoing research interests include gender and inclusive pedagogies, as informed by critical, culturally responsive and affect theories.
