Biography
I have expertise in a range of methodologies, public health policies and practices, and the application of post-structural theory to the analysis of issues surrounding gender, health and sexuality. Since my PhD in 2000-2003 I have been working on research on gender and health, with a focus both on young women's experiences of cigarette smoking, and issues surrounding sexuality in the context of cancer. Since then I have contributed to the field of gender and health through the publication of research and theory papers examining sexual subjectivity in relation to health issues, and the examination of women's health in the context of health promotion. More broadly, I have lectured for a number of years in research methods for the social sciences, and in gender and sexualities, and have significant expertise in employing qualitative research methods to explore health behaviours. I have presented papers nationally and internationally which address areas including: cancer caring, cancer and sexuality, cigarette smoking as a gendered practice; and young women's resistance to anti-smoking campaigns. I have been significantly involved in media discussions and interviews, and professional service in the area of gender and health and public health policies.
