Biography
John has been an academic at Deakin since 1998. He is a dedicated educator & researcher in the area of wildlife conservation. John led the development and implementation of the Bachelor of Environmental Science (Wildlife and Conservation Biology) and was the leader in the design and delivery of our remote field based learning units which scaffold learning from 1st year to 3rd year. With a passion for creating highly experiential learning environments, John is often in remote areas of Victoria or even in the jungles of Borneo training students in the skills they need for a career in wildlife conservation. As a passionate researcher, John’s research focuses on how our unique biota are responding to threats such as fire, climate change, urbanisation and invasive species.
John has held a number of leadership roles in the University in the past. He has held the roles of Associate Dean (Development), Associate Head of School (Teaching and Learning) and Deputy Head of School. He currently is an active contributor to the Faculty team driving an increase in international mobility of our undergraduate students.
Read more on John's profileResearch interests
John is an active researcher focusing largely on how species and ecosystems respond to external threats such as fire, climate change, urbanisation and invasive species. A large focus of John’s research has been the development and maintenance of a long-term ecological research program in the Grampians National park. Since 2008 John has led his team in establishing how small mammals respond to major fire events and changes in climatic conditions. This research has provided a lens in which to view the potential impacts of climate change as well as informing improved conservation management of this unique landscape. In recognition of this research, John and his team was awarded the 2016 Nancy Millis Award for science in Parks. This award recognises science that changes the way parks are managed.
John leads an active research team of honours students and postgraduates who work on small mammal ecology, invasive species ecology, urbanisation, fire ecology and conservation management in response to climate change.
Teaching interests
John led the development and delivery of our highly successful remote field based education program. These field based units see our students in remote areas gaining the hands-on experience needed for a successful transition into conservation based employment. It is not just about getting into the field though, it is about helping students find their strengths and enhance their capacity to work in high functioning team environments. John also developed and still delivers the first international based undergraduate unit in the School, where he takes students into the jungles of Borneo and introduces them to the indigenous tribes and government agencies associated with conservation in this biodiversity hot-spot. This opportunity to help students see conservation situations from the perspective of other people is transformational in developing a more empathetic approach to conservation in our students. John has been awarded for his teaching approaches at both the university and national levels.
