Overview
Background
Ella’s research seeks to understand the experiences of people experiencing deep and persistent disadvantage, including those who use and are subjected to domestic violence; those who experience poverty and homelessness; and those who are engaged with statutory child protection services. Although Ella is a qualitative scholar, she collaborates within a multidisciplinary team that leverages both qualitative and quantitative data to form a comprehensive picture of how different forms of disadvantage interact with each other, and with broader social structures and systems. Ella also collaborates and engages deeply with industry partners to ensure that her research and its outcomes align fully with their research and practice needs.
Within this broad picture, Ella’s research aims to develop strategies for overcoming the structural barriers that perpetuate social disadvantage.
