• Senior Research Officer

  • Jan 2020 - Jul 2022

  Senior research role in the National Community Attitudes towards Violence against Women Survey (NCAS) research program. The NCAS is the world's longest running population survey of violence against women attitudes of its kind. By investigating and benchmarking attitudes that condone violence against women and gender inequality, the NCAS forms a key component of the National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and their Children. The research program involved a population-level representative survey of Australian attitudes (the NCAS), as well as two qualitative studies on attitudes and understandings of violence against women. In particular, I co-led the management, development, analysis and reporting of the 2021 NCAS. I also led a qualitative research project on young people's understandings of violence in intimate relationships and co-led another qualitative study on factors surrounding mistrust of women's reports of sexual violence. Together, these large studies provided important insights for policy and prevention initiatives aimed at reducing and preventing violence against women. Show less
