Alan Reid is Professor Emeritus of Education at the University of South Australia. He is involved in a range of national and state professional organizations. Professor Reid's research interests include educational policy, curriculum change, social justice and education, citizenship education and the history and politics of public education. He has published widely in these areas and gives many talks and papers to professional groups, nationally and internationally.
In December 2012 Alan presented the Radford Lecture at the annual conference of the Australian Association for Research in Education (AARE) and the Asia-Pacific Educational Research Association (APERA), held at the University of Sydney. Other named Orations he has presented recently include: the Fritz Duras Memorial Lecture (ACHPER, Adelaide - 2011); the Selby-Smith Oration (ACE, Hobart - 2011); the Hedley Beare Oration (ACE, Darwin - 2011); the Phillip Hughes Oration (ACE, Canberra - 2011); and the Garth Boomer Memorial Lecture (ACSA, Canberra - 2009).
Alan is also involved in policy development at the state and national levels. For example, in 2004/5 he was appointed by the Minister of Education to be a member of a three person panel which reviewed the South Australian Certificate of Education (SACE); and he was engaged by the South Australian Department of Education and Children’s Services (DECS) to lead the development of a system-wide culture of research and inquiry. In 2000, Alan co-directed the writing of the South Australian Curriculum Standards and Accountability (SACSA) framework. He won the 2002-3 DEST National Research Fellowship and was based in the federal department of education (now DEEWR) in Canberra for twelve months where he conducted research on the national curriculum and provided policy advice. Prior to that he was Dean of Education at the University of South Australia for three years.
Alan's contributions to education have been recognised through a number of awards. For example:
* in 2004, the Australian College of Educators awarded him the inaugural MacKillop Medal in recognition of his distinguished services to education; and made him a Fellow of the College;
* in 2004 he was named by the national magazine the Bulletin as one of Australia's ten leading educators;
* in 2009 he was awarded the Alby Jones Medal by the Australian Council of Educational Leaders (SA) in recognition of the excellence of his achievements in educational leadership;
* in 2009 he was made a Life Member of the Australian Curriculum Studies Association (ACSA);
* in 2009 he was awarded the Gold Medal of the Australian Council of Educational Leaders (ACEL) which is presented annually to an Australian educator whose 'contribution to the study and practice of educational leadership is assessed as most outstanding at the national level', and he was also made a Fellow of ACEL;
* in 2009 the University of South Australia in 2009 awarded him the title of Emeritus Professor;
* on Australia Day, 2012, he was made a Member of the Order of Australia (AM), for his contributions to education.
