Meet the HERN team
Our researchers come from a broad range of disciplines from across the university. This diversity allows us to approach the complex challenges of higher education from interdisciplinary perspectives.
Each research cluster has its own research lead(s). You can find out more about HERN’s co-Directors and research cluster leads below. Each Academic Unit at UniSA also has a unit sponsor.
Executive group
Academic unit sponsors
The distributed leadership model of HERN is supported by Unit sponsors. The role of a sponsor is to communicate with the staff in their unit about HERN activities and let HERN leaders know about the interests and priority areas their colleagues have.
