Biographical details

Julie lived and was educated in Dublin, Hobart, Mt. Isa, London and Sydney. She is a settler on the lands of the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation.

Julie uses her academic resources to understand and advance the health of socially disadvantaged people and communities. Engagement with LGBTIQ and First Nation peoples profoundly shaped her approach to academia. She is committed to working ethically with communities to undertake meaningful research that produces knowledge for advocacy, health promotion, and service design and delivery.

Julie is an Associate Professor in Qualitative Research in Health at Sydney Health Ethics (School of Public Health, Faculty of Medicine, University of Sydney), and a visiting fellow at the Australian Centre for Health Engagement, Evidence and Values (University of Wollongong).

Pronouns she/her/hers.

Research interests

Julie has a strong and continuing track record in research on the health of sexuality and gender diverse people (primarily health related to tobacco, alcohol and other substances, and sexual and reproductive health), with a specific expertise in LBQ women’s health. She leads the longest running periodic survey of LBQ women’s health and wellbeing in the world (SWASH), and collaborates on several projects about LGBTIQ substance use. She favours qualitative methodologies but is pragmatic, using methodologies that will generate knowledge that can be used to produce positive outcomes for communities.

For over a decade Julie has been working with ACON, Australia’s largest HIV prevention and LGBTQ health promotion organisation, including as a member of their ethical review committee (2011-2016), and on their board of directors (since 2012). She has collaborated with ACON on several research projects, including SWASH.

Teaching and supervision

Through her teaching, Julie provides people with the intellectual and practical tools and confidence to undertake good quality qualitative research. She leads qualitative research teaching on the Master of Public Health, with over 10 years experience teaching qualitative health research, qualitative study design and methodologies, and qualitative analysis and writing to university students and community members.

Current teaching:

The above units are available as electives to University of Sydney students, and as professional development courses to non-students (Qualitative Research in Health and Advanced Qualitative Analysis and Writing).

Julie is open to supervise/examine honours, postgraduate, PhD projects on the health of sexuality and gender diverse people.
