CNS Researcher Dr Rose Amazan has been recognised for her work embracing diversity, as a recipient of a 2024 Vice-Chancellor's Award.
Rose was praised for her collaboration with different stakeholders and ensuring Indigenous voices are prioritised in education.
Rose is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Education at UNSW. She has extensive experience working with low-SES communities in Australia and internationally. She is a CNS research lead at Matraville Sports High School.
Rose’s expertise resides in two strands of research: Social justice in education/ pathways to educational equity and international education and development policy with an emphasis on gender.
Rose’s research, teaching, and service activities are motivated by her commitment to community development and creating equitable and safe environments for marginalised and disadvantaged communities.
CNS Community Facilitator, Julie Welsh, was also nominated in the category 'Build Collaboration' for her work establishing and supporting the CNS Blak Caucus.
The Vice-Chancellor’s Awards were held on Wednesday, 19 June, in the Roundhouse. This event formally recognised and celebrated the remarkable staff who light up UNSW by actively demonstrating the UNSW Values in Action.
More than 350 guests attended, including award nominees, nominators, family and friends, and members of the UNSW Leadership Team.
