My research focuses on the ways transnational corporations act as commercial determinants of health.

I am a research fellow in the Southgate Institute for Health, Society and Equity. My PhD thesis examined the health impacts for workers who experienced mass job loss from a transnational automotive corporation based in southern Adelaide between 2004-2007.
Since completing my PhD my key role has been to build a knowledge base and to undertake research on the implications for health and health equity from products and practices of transnational corporations. To date this research has focused on the fast food and extractive industries sectors.
