Parker took her first degree in Asian Studies [1] and her doctorate at the Australian National University [2] before undertaking post doctoral research in Indonesia while employed by that university's Research School of Asian and Pacific Studies.

In 1989 she published her thesis concerning the village of Brassika in southern Bali as it was absorbed into the nation of Indonesia.
