Jane has previosuly been Head of School in Art, Architecture and Design at UniSA 2018-2020, Associate Head of School Academic 2014 - 2017 and Program Director Interior Architecture 2009 - 2014. She has received numerous teaching awards including 2011 Supported Academic Teaching Award and the University of South Australia Scholarly Teaching Award. She has also been awarded another 3 University Awards for Teaching and Learning with colleague Rachel Hurst: 2002 UniSA Excellence in Teaching Award; 1999 UniSA Supported Academic Teaching Award and 1998 Faculty Art Architecture and Design Inaugural Innovative Teaching and Learning Award. Jane has also received numerous awards for research including Supported Researcher Awards, 2011, 2010 and 2008 and in 2017 received a HEPPP grant to conduct creative workshops in low SES schools in remote South Australia and a SSAF grant to develop peer to peer orientation material for commencing UniSA students. Jane's research focus is on domesticity and the everyday; gastronomy and design which is disseminated in journals, conference proceedings and public exhibitions. Her other research interests are associated with healthy communities; aged care and studio teaching pedagogies. Jane's creative work has been exhibited both nationally and internationally and includes over 20 exhibited creative works and she continues to practice through research and industry projects within the University.Jane is currently on academic reorientation leave until April 2021.

Jane has dual research areas in design pedagogy and food and design alliances collaboratively with Rachel Hurst. These unite teaching and learning practises with scholarly research. Jane and Rachel have written 2 book chapters in Memory in Architecture and Eating Architecture. They were also invited to publish in Architectural Design: Food and the City in 2005. Jane's enjoyment and commitment to continue professional interior design practise and maintain a high level skill base is reflected in her involvment in 8 community based consultancy projects for the University. Each project embeds research, sustainability and best practise and informs her teaching programs by disseminating and applying current and relevant technical, practical and managerial information. Three of these consultancies have employed student involvement in the research, site analysis and documentation stages. Jane is currently pursuing consultancy work for community groups. Jane's work with Rachel has informed the production of three separate artworks exhibited locally and interstate which explore their unique collaboration in both academic and domestic realms. Other collaborative creative works  investigate themes of domesticity and the everyday.
