Dr Pam Bartholomaeus is a lecturer in the School of Education at Flinders University where she teaches in the middle school and secondary education courses.
Her research is primarily in the fields of literacy and rural education, including student wellbeing, working for increased successful student learning outcomes, and sustainability of rural communities.
Pam is concerned that all students are well equipped for the future. For rural students she is interested in education that recognises the likely complexity of students' future lives, that the challenges that currently exist for rural students are well identified, and solutions both via policy and in the classroom are sought and achieved.
She is a member of a State School Governing Council and has been actively involved in parent participation in schools since her children were young.
