Research interests

Julie's research interests cover the intersection of identity, sexuality and health, with a particular focus on young people. She specialises in qualitative, participatory and creative methods. Current research projects include the experience of growing up with cancer (creative and qualitative methods), same-sex attracted young women’s perceptions of risk and vulnerability to sexually transmitted infections, and HIV risk in young female sex workers in Cambodia. Julie coordinates the Sydney Women and Sexual Health (SWASH) survey with ACON.
