About
I am a PhD Candidate at the Centre for Human Factors and Sociotechnical systems, at the University of the Sunshine Coast, with additional supervision provided through the Sexual Violence Research and Prevention Unit. My PhD involves the application of systems thinking-based approaches to address technology-facilitated coercive control in the context of intimate partner violence. The program is supported by a Research Training Program scholarship.
In addition to my PhD studies, I am a research assistant at the Centre and work on a number of research projects, involving Human Factors in transport safety and healthcare.
I have a keen interest in issues of women’s rights and gender equity and I am an advocate for access to education for women and girls. My specific research interest is in addressing the systemic and structural gender imbalances that enable and sustain violence against women and children. My PhD research aims to apply a systems thinking approach to optimise the identification and prevention of technology-facilitated coercive control and provide evidence for novel interventions to support policy and practice change in this area.
