Dr. Cristiene da Silva Carvalho
Lecturer, Early Childhood
Dr Cristiene Carvalho is an Early Childhood and Primary Education lecturer at the Institute of Education, Arts, and Community at Federation University Australia. As an early-career researcher, she develops projects on rural education, social representations, critical pedagogies, social justice, and art education.
Cristiene completed her PhD in 2017 in the Education Department at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil. Her dissertation analysed the social representations of pedagogical and cultural practices developed by in-service teachers in rural areas committed to agrarian reform and equality.
Her previous roles as a researcher, lecturer, and coordinator of continuous education for rural teachers at the Federal University of Minas Gerais and the Federal University of Ouro Preto were crucial in shaping her teaching philosophy, emphasising social justice, inclusion, and diversity.
After moving to Australia in 2018, Cristiene engaged deeply with Australian frameworks for Early Childhood Education, working in the Early Childhood Sector while completing her bachelor's degree in early childhood teaching in 2024.
Currently, her research concentrates on inclusion and diversity practices in the Early Childhood sector and projects that apply Paulo Freire's critical pedagogy to rural education and physical education. She has presented her work at AARE and ATEA conferences, supervises placements in Early Childhood, and is actively involved in research groups such as SJIDE (Social Justice Inclusion, Diversity, and Education) at Federation University, GERES (Group of Research and Studies in Social Representations), and LeCampo (Research Group of Rural Education) in Brazil.
Cristiene’s main areas of expertise are critical pedagogies, early childhood, artistic practices, rural education, social justice, social representations, research methods and online education.
