Previous Australian Research Council Grants:
Professor Robinson led a three year Australian Research Council Discovery funded project (2011- 2013) titled: 'The tensions for parents, educators and children in building a sustainable culture of ethical and respectful relationships early in life'. This research was in collaboration with Moira Carmody (WSU) and Sue Dyson (LaTrobe). This research was conducted in NSW and Victoria and involved interviews / focus groups with parents, their primary school age children (5-11), and teachers of primary school children. It also included an online survey of parents and teachers of primary school age children. This research explored children's understandings of respect, sexuality and relationships (e.g. marriage, initimacy, love); where children get their information about these issues; how parents perceive and approach children's early sexuality education and learning of respect; and how primary school teachers approach these areas in children's early education.
Kerry led a project titled, 'Performing queer', which was a pilot study exploring the issues facing young people identifying as gender and sexuality diverse (LGBTQ). A research report: 'Growing Up Queer': Issues Facing Australian young people who are gender variant and sexuality diverse was released in 2014.
