Associate Professor Tracey Kuit

Tracey Kuit is a teaching-intensive Associate Professor in the School of Chemistry and Molecular Bioscience at the University of Wollongong.

I am a passionate educator with 15 year’s experience teaching biochemistry and molecular biology at all levels of higher education. I hold numerous governance responsibilities within and outside my institution and am an active mentor and peer reviewer supporting colleagues in L&T development, whilst regularly participating in outreach activities with local schools.

I am the Deputy Chair of the Education SIG of the Australian Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) and Chair of the Wollongong Academy for Tertiary Teaching and Learning Excellence (WATTLE). My work has been recognised by local T&L grants, awards, publications and conference presentations, nationally and internationally. My teaching approach centres on student connectedness and the development and articulation of skills that prepare students for the future.

My current research interests are in:

T-shaped skill development in students and role in employability

Professional identity development in science students

Self-reflection and ePortfolio creation to evidence skill development

Exploring Global Challenges through interdisciplinary group work using the UN Sustainable Development Goals (UNSDGs) framework

I am keen to explore collaborations with others and can be contacted via email tracey_kuit@uow.edu.au
