- Emeritus Professor of Anthropology, La Trobe University
Emeritus Professor of Anthropology, Department of Social Inquiry, School of Humanities and Social Sciences at La Trobe University. Since the 1980s I have conducted research with the people of Tonga, both in the islands and the diaspora, and more recently with Pacific people living in northwest Victoria, Australia. My focus has been on childhood and youth, migration and transnationalism. My current ARC research is on Pacific youth leadership and civic engagement.
