Dr Kathy Arthurson

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.
