Dr Kelly McDougall is a research associate at the Centre for Markets, Values and Inclusion at the University of South Australia. She is a human geographer, with a background in psychology. Her research interests are population ageing, international migration, and migration and settlement. As a geographer, her work recognises the role of place and places in shaping the experiences people have. She employs a mixed methods approach to research utilising both qualitative and quantitative (descriptive) research skills. 
Kelly completed her PhD in 2010. She has since been active on research projects related to population ageing and/or migration and settlement. She is currently working on the ARC Linkage project titled: "Determining the social value of extreme, mixed-use urban developments: Innovative architecture for inclusive Australian communities", due for completion in 2025.
