Desirée Kozlowski

My primary interest is in pleasure and pleasurable emotions, especially their relationship with human health, resilience, creativity and flourishing. In 2022/23 I ran the National Pleasure Audit (Australia) and will be publishing our findings soon.

The other main area of my research is gender - specifically in gender roles. I am a collaborator on the Toward Gender Harmony Project; we surveyed thousands of people across 62 countries on attitudes around gender and are publishing aspects of that work across a number of journals.
