Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlex Norman is an interdisciplinary researcher and educator with 11 years of experience bridging sociology, religion studies, and higher education leadership. Formerly a Senior Lecturer who oversaw a Master of Research programme, he has deep expertise in qualitative methods, editorial stewardship for academic journals, and coordinating large peer-review processes. His research blends travel, spirituality, and religious practice—evident from a PhD on spirituality and tourism and postdoctoral work on meditation retreat data—while his GitHub bio hints at a practiced habit of using writing as a tool for thinking. Based in Sydney, he pairs academic rigor with hands-on project delivery, from developing a journal’s social media strategy to managing teaching programs and supervising honours research. Recently pivoting into community service as a volunteer with the NSW State Emergency Service, he demonstrates a practical, service-oriented side that complements his scholarly profile. An aspiring watch and clock maker in his spare time, he brings a meticulous, craft-oriented temperament to both research and service.
