Angela’s industry affiliation with the Australian Institute Food Science and Technology align as a common interest to improve the direction of Food Technology curriculum in secondary schooling. Her doctoral thesis explores the evolution of food curriculum studies in New South Wales and to what extent Food Technology in schooling is well placed to meet emerging policy and economic demand for food innovation expertise in the industry. A particular focus involves Technacy Genre Theory as a conceptual tool to identify and measure inter-relationships and subtle differences between typologies of technology practice for Food Technology.
