Biography

Dr Aaron Teo is a Singaporean Chinese first generation migrant settler living on unceded Jagera and Turrbal lands. He is a Sociologist of Education working as a Lecturer (Curriculum and Pedagogy) in the University of Southern Queensland's School of Education. Aaron is Convenor for the Australian Association for Research in Education Social Justice Special Interest Group, Queensland Convenor for the Asian Australian Alliance, member of the Challenging Racism Project, and member of the Advisory Committee for the Australian Human Rights Commission's study into racism in Australian universities. He is also winner of the 2023 Carolyn Baker Memorial Prize, and the State Library of Queensland's 2024 John Oxley Honorary Fellow. Aaron's research focusses on the raced and gendered subjectivities of migrant teachers from “Asian” backgrounds in the Australian context, as well as critical pedagogies in white Australian (university and school) classroom spaces. He is interested in qualitative research methods, particularly the use of critical autoethnography as a-way of reflexively interrogating experiences at the nexus of migration, racism, sexism, and multiculturalism in the Australian education context.
