Biography

Robyn Floyd has experience in research and program development in various education-focused contexts including early childhood, primary and secondary settings. She has led curriculum development, management and organization in preschool, primary, secondary, and tertiary educational settings. Her past projects involve developing and managing several school/university partnerships, focusing on teacher practice through participatory action research. Collaborative initiatives include the Visual Storytelling Project, which engaged deaf and hearing students in creating dual language videos (Auslan/English) distributed to schools in Victoria, and other needs-based programs addressing issues like anaphylaxis in schools. Floyd's research emphasizes literacy, inclusion, and student outcomes, with a recent focus on microhistorical writing. This approach utilizes localized storytelling to explore larger social dynamics, cultural practices, memory, and identity.
