Dr Fiona Gill completed her PhD at Edinburgh University, examining identity management and ambiguity. Subsequently, she moved to University College Dublin investigating Irish environmental attitudes before moving back to Australia. She held a post-doctoral fellowship at Melbourne University investigating the social impacts of technology on dairy farmers before joining Sydney University in July 2005.
Dr Fiona Gill’s research interests focus on subjectivity, particularly the management and performance of ambiguous identities. She has on-going interest in national identity, gender and sexual identities and the sociology of sport and the body. Current research interests include science and technology studies, community studies and rural sociology. Fiona is researching the impact of economic rationalism and scientific discourse on an Australian dairy farm. Future research directions include the place of the body and the use of performance enhancing drugs in elite and non-elite sports, economic rationalism and the individual and online identities.
