ProfessorAlexandra Lasczik

Alexandra has been an Art educator for more than 40 years - as a secondary Art teacher, Arts educational leader, and Art teacher educator. Her mission to that end has been to improve the educational experiences of children and young people through the Arts, specifically but not limited to the Visual Arts. She has taught children in early childhood settings, primary and secondary school, teacher education students, and HDR candidates: her approach has been consistent throughout, namely setting conditions for deep engagement, technical acumen and success, while documenting process, inquiry, rigour and conceptual strength. Alexandra has always passionately supported her students to make, think, know and do for social impact, positive disruption and transformation, especially for those who are marginalised or disadvantaged. Alexandra has also supervised 20 HDR candidates to completion and is a much sought after PhD examiner.
