Overview
Background
Kieren is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Institute for Social Science Research. His research examines experiences of inequality and discrimination, with a particular emphasis on the relationships between social identity, health, political ideology, and collective action. For example, his doctoral thesis examined the causes, consequences, and development of perceived relative deprivation over time, focusing on how different ethnic groups respond to perceived inequality. Kieren is also passionate about LGBTQIA+ research, leading and supporting projects examining (a) the relationships between identity, health, and well-being among LGBTQIA+ populations and (b) attitudes towards LGBTQIA+ people and social policy.
As part of his role at ISSR, Kieren works on several externally funded projects monitoring and evaluating public programs related to substance use, criminal justice, and primary care. He applies various research methods, including longitudinal, multilevel, person-centred, and quasi-experimental approaches, and has expertise in managing large-scale panel and administrative data sets.
