I am currently undertaking a PhD in Education at Curtin University, my research investigates how the concept of social justice is constructed, contested, and mobilised within the policymaking process of the Review of Australian Higher Education (Bradley Review). Integrating Nancy Fraser’s three-dimensional social justice theory and Stephen Ball’s policy cycle framework, I critically examine the Bradley Review and related policy documents to understand how recognition, redistribution, and representation for underrepresented students have evolved over time. Through the case studies research design, data are from government reports, ministerial speeches, and media texts.
