Research Biography

My research is primarily concerned with gender and families and relationships across the life course with a particular focus on domestic and family violence and elder abuse. I have been awarded significant external funding to conduct research in these fields and have published research findings in high-ranking, national and international academic journals and books.

My current research focuses on family violence in refugee and migrant communities in Australia, and domestic violence in the lives of older women, particularly in terms of its intersections with elder abuse, and the impact on women of diminishing social connections in later years. I am a member of the Social Work Innovation Research Living Space (SWIRLS).

My research approach engages with co-design and knowledge translation activities so that it prioritises the needs and voices of industry and the community.
