Presenter

Dr Tony Barnett is an ARC DECRA Fellow in the School of Psychology, The University of Queensland. Tony's work explores the social and cultural contexts of alcohol and other drug use, treatment (including novel therapeutic interventions) and policy change. His work draws on critical social science and qualitative methods to provide in-depth accounts of consumers, carers and clinicians’ experiences of healthcare (with a focus on alcohol and other drug addiction). Employing qualitative methods, he has conducted projects on behalf of local and state government, and pharmaceutical companies, to explore in-depth people’s experiences of health and disease. He regularly provides practical workshops on qualitative methods to upskill students and ECRs interested in applying them.
