My work is orientated by a deep concern with how education might contribute to the achievement of social and environment justice. I am a sociologist of education, and my main areas of research interest are: i) radicalisation and education, ii) refugee education, and iii) education and environmental sustainabilityMy research is informed by expertise in post-colonial theory, feminist theory and the work of Michel Foucault. I have previously undertaken studies in the fields of minority education, anti-racist education, reconciliation, international education and education for sustainability, and I am familiar with theories relating to racism, anti-racism, cultural diversity, internationalisation and globalisation.I am interested in supervising students in these areas: i) radicalisation and education, ii) refugees and education, iii) racism and antiracism, iv) international education, and v) sustainability and education.I have published over 100 refereed journal articles, book chapters and conference papers and delivered public lectures in Japan, Korea, Thailand, China, Canada, UK, Singapore, Hong Kong and South Africa. I supervise 7 PhD and MPhil students in the fields of radicalisation and education, sustainability education, international education, Indigenous education, professional development, and refugee education. I have previously supervised to completion 11 PhD students, 3 MA students and 7 honours students.Before joining the University of Adelaide in 2013 I was Associate Professor in Social Sciences, Director of Research in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, and Associate Director of the Sustainability Research Centre at the University of the Sunshine Coast. My Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in The School of Education at The University of Queensland focused on International education, internationalisation and schools. I established and co-convened the Sociology of Education thematic group in the Australian Sociological Association (TASA from 2010-2013. I have been actively involved with the Australian Association for Research in Education (AARE) and the International Sociological Association (ISA).

Associate Professor Julie Matthews is a sociologist of education with a background in education, sociology, anthropology and cultural studies. Her work is orientated by issues of social and environmental justice and she uses postcolonial and feminist theories to examine and address the relationship between knowledge and power.

She has won 3 ARC Discovery grants and a large Category 1 grant. She has published over 100 refereed journal articles, book chapters and conference papers and delivered public lectures in Japan, China, Canada, UK, Singapore, Hong Kong and South Africa.
