Patrick is currently co-authoring contracted research books about education research debates and Australian teachers’ work and identities, and he is also currently co-editing (with Associate Professor Daniel Johnston) a research book about Australian contested citizenships and education that includes chapters by several Excelsia colleagues, and a contracted handbook about autoethnography and self-study in education research. As well, he is keen to explore the methodological possibilities of dialogical autoethnography.
