Dr. Sue Saltmarsh is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Teacher Education at Charles Sturt University, where she lectures in Cultural Politics of Education and Qualitative Research Methods. She is a member of the Research Institute for Professional Practice, Learning & Education (RIPPLE) and also coordinates the Graduate Certificate in Educational Research/Bachelor of Educational Research (Honours) program. Her doctoral thesis, Complicit Institutions: Representation, Consumption and the Production of School Violence, was awarded the 2005 Australian Association of Research In Education Doctoral Thesis Award, and the Macquarie University Vice Chancellor's Award for Academic Excellence. Her research interests concern discursive formations of the self and social relations, with particular emphasis on the intersection of economic discourse and its function in relation to children and childhood, institutional and interpersonal violence and the cultural production of social identities. She is also conducting research in the field of higher education, investigating the ways that commodification of higher education impacts on institutional cultures and scholarly ethics. Her research utilises social semiotic, ethnographic and critical discourse analytic methods, and is informed by poststructuralist theories of power, knowledge, subjectivity and agency as these relate to a range of educational and social issues.
