About Peter

Dr. Peter Waterhouse serves as a Lecturer in the School of Education, Culture and Society within the Faculty of Education at Monash University. He earned his PhD from La Trobe University in 1999, with a dissertation titled Good Beginnings: A search for authenticity in adult education practice and identity. This qualitative study, nominated for an Academic Research Award, utilized arts-based methods to examine experiential learning and reflective practice across diverse settings including schools, universities, TAFE, and workplaces. Prior to his current role, Waterhouse was the founding Director of the National Centre of Literacy and Numeracy for Adults at the University of Waikato in New Zealand, a position he held until returning to Australia in 2012. Throughout his career, he has worked extensively as an adult educator, lecturer, manager, consultant, and researcher, focusing on adult learning, adult literacy, work, skills, and workplace change. His professional journey emphasizes the interplay between life experience, work, and learning, particularly in teacher education and critically reflective practice, or praxis.
