Clare Littleton

I am Associate Professor at Torrens University Australia and Deputy Director of the Centre for Sustainable Development (Acting).

I conduct research in the area of public health with a specific focus on children, the social and political determinants of health, health equity, education, and public policy. My research focusses on addressing complex policy issues through cross disciplinary research, specifically public health and political science. Through my research I aim to bring about social change, address equity issues, and contribute to addressing the UN sustainable development goals.

I teach across a range of different topics in the Master of Public Health (MPH) at Torrens University including the social and political determinants of health, health policy and advocacy, qualitative research methods, and Capstone research projects. I am currently subject lead for the Health Policy and Advocacy Course in the MPH. I am also involved in curriculum development and most recently wrote the new Health Policy and Advocacy topic.
