Dr Angela Dwyer - School of Justice |
Lecturer Ph.D QUT, BSocSci (Hons) QUT Contact: Room: X511 (Gardens Point campus) Dr Angela Dwyer is a sociologist and since joining the School of Justice in 2007, has been a recipient of three Faculty of Law Vice Chancellor's Performance Fund awards in 2007 and 2008 for her “significant and superior contribution to the work of the university”. She has previously worked as a sessional academic at QUT for seven years in the Faculties of Education, Law and Creative Industries. She completed her doctoral studies in the Faculty of Education in 2006. Her research reconceptualised the relationship that fashion models have with young girls as a pedagogical relationship where embodied knowledge is transmitted for better and worse. This project feeds into her broader areas of interest in the pathologising and demonising of young people in the media and public culture, the commodification of women’s bodies, and the sociology of deviance. Angela is currently involved in two research projects. The first research project is investigating how queer (that is, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer) young people experience policing in Brisbane, Queensland. The second research project is recording the histories and experiences of LGBT police officers in Queensland post WWII. Angela was recently elected as General Member of the The Australian Sociological Association (TASA) Executive Committee for 2009-2010 and is Editor of the TASAWeb (www.tasa.org.au). She has established a scholarship for Sociologists Outside Academe to maximise the participation of non-academic sociologists with TASA. Prior to this, she was the elected Postgraduate Member for this committee. As well as making issues of postgraduate members known to the committee, she has also convened three Postgraduate Workshops for the Annual TASA Conference. Prior to this, Angela served as Postgraduate Representative for the Postgraduate Students Association and, most recently, the Higher Degrees Research Committee at QUT. In this role, she organised a successful conference (‘New Researchers for New Times’) for postgraduate students in the education faculty at QUT in October 2005. Angela is a fully-accredited supervisor and is available to supervise research in any of her current research areas and other areas of interest listed below. Current Research:
