About Neil

Neil Harrison serves as Associate Professor at Macquarie University and Honorary Associate Professor in the Macquarie School of Education, part of the Faculty of Arts. He possesses over 30 years of teaching experience in Indigenous education across primary, secondary, and tertiary levels, commencing his career in a remote Arnhem Land community. Harrison's academic interests encompass trauma-informed education, Indigenous education, curriculum, and pedagogy. His methodological expertise lies in negotiated research approaches developed collaboratively in the field. Current research emphasizes developing a Trauma-Informed Pedagogy for schools and universities, including the project TIE: Addressing trauma in remote NSW schools (2022-2025). Earlier investigations focused on Learning from Country, revealing how Indigenous knowledge of Country fosters greater engagement, belonging, wellbeing, and reduced suspensions among Indigenous students in urban areas like Sydney, as explored in works such as Harrison and Greenfield (2011).
