Former teacher and Monash PhD candidate Katrina McDonald wants education to alleviate disadvantage, not further embed it. "In these areas of concentrated disadvantage there is almost always educational disadvantage as well." Her focus? School principals and how their personal experiences and history impact their leadership style and choice to teach in a disadvantaged school. "It's all about social justice. We shouldn't be leaving it to chance. You need to have the best principals in these schools, principals who understand the systemic causes of poverty, because otherwise they will be reproducing it." Katrina recently received a scholarship from the Australian Council for Educational Leadership, acknowelding her work as "forward-thinking and relevant." Congratulations Katrina! #monashpride #changeit

Congratulations to Dr Linh Tran who has recently received her PhD from Monash, researching teacher training in Vietnam. From her small home town, Linh is from family of teachers and is a tenacious and determined student. She started her Masters and was pregnant at the same time. Every week, she’d complete a 1000km round trip by bus and train to attend classes. Sometimes she'd return the same day. To get her PhD Linh had to leave her son and husband in Vietnam and come to Australia. Her son was able to join her in her second year. "They were very supportive, but it was also very hard." Linh — pictured with Dr Jill Brown at her graduation last month — now returns to Vietnam as Deputy Dean of Khanh Hoa University and is a board member of the TESOL association of Vietnam. #monashpride
