Postdoctoral Research Fellow, University of Tasmania

Carmel is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Trauma-Informed Practice Lab in the School of Education. She is a sociologist and mixed-methods researcher broadly focusing on social justice issues impacting young people.

She is one of few researchers nationally focusing on the issue of teen domestic violence and abuse and combines this with her expertise in trauma-informed practice and education. Her research approach prioritises the voices of children, young people and the professionals who work closely with them and she positions this work within a child rights and social justice framework.

Carmel is a board member of the Youth Network of Tasmania (YNOT), and Story Island Project.
