Dr Constance Ellwood
Constance has had many years of experience teaching and learning with people from a variety of cultural and linguistic backgrounds, with the Adult Migrant Education Service, TAFE, school education and, more recently, in the English Language Study Skills (ELSSA) Centre at the University of Technology Sydney. Her main roles in that position were to write and teach credit subjects in IT and foundation English studies for international students.
Her PhD research (UTS 2004) was an ethnographic study which drew on Foucault, Butler, and Deleuze & Guattari to theorise some ways in which teacher and student subjectivities are produced and performed in an English language classroom. Following her PhD, she gained a 3-year post-doctoral fellowship at the University of Western Sydney where she worked on a variety of new research projects related to the ethics of listening, education for homeless young people, and school bullying.
