Dr Arthurson recently joined the Institute for Social Research
as a senior research fellow. She is currently working
on an ARC funded postdoctoral research project on Social
Mix and Social Exclusion in Disadvantaged Communities:
Clarifying the Links between Policy, Practice, and the
Evidence Base. Her research interests span social housing,
community regeneration and sustainable communities. Her
pre-academic career was largely in public policy and
management where in the 1990s she worked for the Australian
Federal Government as a manager and policy analyst in
a range of positions that included housing and urban
policy, health, community services, ageing and disability.
Dr Arthurson’s
past experiences are reflected in the nature of her research
on housing and urban issues, which is applied research
that focuses on the policy implications of topics spanning social housing,
neighbourhood regeneration and sustainable communities
