Personal profile
Research Biography
I am a Research Associate at the Flinders University Caring Futures Institute. I have a keen interest in social justice and the human rights of people with dementia and people with disability. Under a cotutelle (dual-degree) PhD program, I completed my doctoral studies at Flinders University in South Australia and Western University in Ontario, Canada. My PhD research focussed on the epistemic (knowledge-related) rights of people with dementia. I explored how epistemic rights were constrained, supported, and negotiated as people with dementia moved from home into residential aged care facilities.
