Dr Julie-Anne Carroll

My pedagogical philosophy is based on  a commitment to  inclusivity, safety, belonging, bravery, critical thought, and interrogation of ideologies that impact on human health and equity.  I believe that  'we teach who we are '  (Parker Palmer,  2018).  I endeavour to make my classroom a space for  the voice of every  student to be heard and to contribute to iterative,  co-constructivist processes of  collective learning.

PUN106 - Social Determinants of Health (Master of Public Health)

Health professionals face a complex and changing health profile locally, nationally, and internationally. A biomedical model for understanding health problems does not adequately explain these complexities or sufficiently help health professionals successfully intervene to improve the population's health. It is therefore critical for health professionals to reflect upon the social, economic and behavioural factors that influence health and work in partnership to influence these factors.

PUB209 - Health, Culture and Society

In this unit we study social and cultural dimensions of the human body, mind, and health. The unit focuses on public health from sociological and anthropological perspectives, with a core emphasis on the ways in which social, cultural, political, and economic systems shape human health behaviours and outcomes.

PUB336 - Gender Equity and Human Health

Gender is a powerful determinant of human health globally. Men's, women’s and transgender health are driven strongly by social constructions of gender performance across the life-course. This unit will adopt a non-binary, social determinants approach to defining and studying gender from an intersectional perspective. It will emphasise how a focus on gender equity generates improvement in population health globally. This is a multidisciplinary and interprofessional unit and welcomes students from a wide range of courses.
