   Her research interests have focused in recent years on three areas: knowledge management, educational leadership and change and higher education academic practice.Shelda has been particularly active in promoting the need for improved support for academic research.She is the leader of the Group of Eight universities Future Research Leaders project in which collaborative resources and strategies are being jointly developed to assist researchers in all eight universities.Her publications have reflected these interests, with the most significant recent publication being Knowledge Management, Wiley Press, 2006.
   
   As President of HERDSA, Shelda aims to encourage ongoing community development across its members and to increase its reach and profile in higher education and tertiary education communities.She has enjoyed the opportunity to meet many members of HERDSA at conferences and meetings and to represent its interests in other forums.The international ICED Council meetings, which are held annually, have been particularly fruitful opportunities to benchmark HERDSA’s outcomes against comparable societies, and to explore how HERDSA might play a larger role in the world arena.Shelda is also keen to further expand HERDSA’s role in sharing good educational practice across its members.
