I teach courses related to psychology at the School of Allied Health and the School of Psychology. I completed a PhD in Psychology about fathers who work part-time in Australia. Part-time working fathers represent a small proportion of fathers around the world and there is limited literature on this population worldwide. My research investigates how members of this niche group describe their experiences of working part-time and taking care of children. The main aim of the project was to shed light on the question of why more fathers do not embrace part-time work for child-care purposes, particularly in Australia. The research contributes to the literature on fatherhood and masculinity by extending findings in Australia, where the existing literature is limited for this group.
