Before joining the University of South Australia, Freya worked in development, development education and university teaching in international relations. Joining the School of Management of the University of South Australia in 2001 she brought these experiences and knowledges to her work in tourism developing an innovative research agenda.
Freya's work focuses on human rights and social justice issues in tourism, hospitality and events. My topical areas of interest include the impacts of tourism, tourism policy and planning, tourism sustainability, Indigenous tourism, politics of tourism and peace through tourism. Geographical areas of interest include Indigenous Australia, the Middle East, the Pacific Islands and the Asia-Pacific region. Recent reseach projects have explored Aboriginal tourism, sustainable cafes, native foods in restaurants and tourism's role in peace and conflict. She is a recipient of a Council of Australiasian University Educators in Tourism and Hospitality Fellows Award for a signficant contribution to hospitality and tourism research and education in 2013.
Freya's teaching philosophy is based on critical pedagogy and she tries to create learning environments that respect students' prior knowledge and experiences and that challenges them (and herself) to think in new ways and "outside of the box". Freya has on a national teaching award from the Australian Teaching and Learning Council in 2009, as well as university and divisional teaching awards. One area of pedagogical expertise is indigenising the curricula in business school contexts.
Her research is focused on projects that deliver new insights into the tourism phenomenon and that advocate a more just and sustainable tourism future. Her work is engaged and she has formed research partnerships with tourism and hospitality stakeholders. She particularly tries to work with "host communities" and the NGO sector who seek to shape tourism to their needs and for positive futures. She has conducted engaged research with Aboriginal tourism operators, an events organiser, a cafe owner and sustainability advocate, tourism NGOs, among others. She received a commendation for industry collaboration in 2014 from the UniSA Business School.
Freya was recognized as an “Awesome Scholar in Tourism” by Women Academics in Tourism, an international group of female tourism academics committed to advancing gender equity in publishing and career advancement.

Fae Heaselgrave, PhD
Program Director for the Masters of Communication (DMCO)
University of South Australiabusiness and management,Commerce,film,Language,Management
Fae is currently the Program Director for the Master of Communication degree and coordinator of the year-long capstone industry placement, providing ongoing academic and professional mentoring to students and strategic support to industry partners.
She has more than 12 years academic experience, teaching the theory and practice of public relations and professional communication to students in the classroom and online at UniSA, Flinders University and Charles Sturt University.
Fae also has ten years prior industry experience as a strategic communications professional in the UK and in Adelaide, having working in public health for the Department of Health, the disability sector and in primary health care research.
Fae's research focuses on the impact of digital media use on everyday life. Her PhD thesis (2021) examined mothers’ interactions with digital media as users and facilitators of children’s use, utilising theories of mediatisation, domestication of technology and parental mediation to identify changes in the communicative practices of contemporary mothers. The study revealed that children's increasing use of digital media for schooling, entertainment and social interaction, coupled with societal expectations about a mother's role, adds an additional layer of responsibility on mothers to provide unpaid digital care to children (Heaselgrave 2023).
Current projects include researching the challenges and opportunities of video gaming for parent players and, specifically, any differences in the gameplay practices of mothers compared to fathers, and building an evidence-based framework with an industry partner to inform future policy decisions about Australia's media classification system, making it more accurate and useful for families.
