Brief profile
Dr Cartledge is Senior Lecturer in Vocational, Design and Technology Education programs, and is the Associate Dean (International). He also coordinates the Graduate Diploma of Education (Secondary) at the Melbourne campus.
Damon’s professional experience includes work in Vocational Education & Training (VET), music performance, music education, educational technology, leadership and management, training development and educational design. These experiences have been drawn from almost 30 years of service in public sector organisations, including the Australian Defence Force, TAFE Institutes and Universities. Work as a lecturer and researcher includes numerous ‘by invitation’ engagements at universities, commissions and professional schools in Australia, UK, USA, Canada and Malaysia; including periods as a Visiting Professor to the University of York in the UK and the University of Technology Malaysia.
Recent work has seen Damon engaged in a broader range of teaching contexts including educational design, teaching method, technology in education, educational leadership and management and qualitative research strategies. Damon's research includes the development of professional identity in organisations, status of the VET professional, STEM research and issues in technical education. Damon maintains a strong research focus on qualitative research methods, especially on the researcher as Bricoleur. Adding to his diversity of research interests and context, recent student completions and current research supervision include candidates from Australia, China, Vietnam, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia and Zimbabwe.
