Stefania is a Senior Lecturer in Health Education at Flinders University. She has been teaching health promotion and undertaking qualitative health research for over ten years, having published widely on the social dimensions of food. Stefania's work largely draws on oral and visual qualitative methods to investigate sociocultural influences on people's relationships with food, with a particular interest in inclusive child-centred methodologies.
