Biography

Tim Fish is a lecturer at Monash University, where he coordinates and teaches the Diploma of Tertiary Studies undergraduate pathway course along with core teaching and learning units. His teaching experience primarily focuses on teacher education, specifically in the areas of sociology of education and school-community partnerships. His doctoral research involved a critical ethnographic study of disengaged young people participating in an alternative education program for early school leavers in a small rural town in Western Victoria. Currently, his research explores pathways to higher education for underrepresented groups, specifically non-ATAR students and rural placements, emphasizing the transition of students from non-traditional schools and TAFE to tertiary education. He is also interested in the experiences of rural students in tertiary institutions and the rural placement experiences of pre-service teachers. His expertise aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on equity in education and support for vulnerable populations in the educational landscape.
