Part of Dr. Fallon’s research focuses on the emergence of market-driven funding mechanisms in public education. His research has extended our understanding of the effects of entrepreneurial financing policies on issues of social justice. In Aboriginal education, his research provided a critical and comprehensive analysis of educational policy. His research provided scholars with a framework for analyzing current policies while suggesting a policy path toward Aboriginal self-governance in education.
