I'm a writer and researcher with a particular interest in housing, work, and the stories we tell about social and economic disadvantage. I'm currently a Research Fellow on the NHMRC-funded Healthy Housing CRE, focusing on policy translation. I have also worked on the ARC-funded Linkage Project Future Work, Future Communities, researching the closure of Australia's automotive industry and retrenched workers' experiences in the labour market. I hold a PhD in Creative Writing from the University of Adelaide.
