Speakers
Dr Danielle Bozin is passionate about shaping dispute resolution to lessen the negative impacts of legal processes on wellbeing. Danielle’s interdisciplinary approach facilitates inclusiveness, removing barriers to justice for vulnerable groups like neurodiverse witnesses and families after international parental child abduction. A nationally accredited mediator Danielle’s work is cited in the National Domestic Violence Bench Book, promoting best practice in judicial decision-making and court experiences for victims of domestic violence across Australia.
Dr Jessica Korte advocates the best way to create good technology is to include end users in the design process. That technology can then im-prove lives and meet the real needs of the people who use it. When people who are disempowered or disabled by society establish what a technology should be, do, look like and behave then society as a whole will benefit from that technology. Jessica’s research currently serves to co-design sign language AI technologies with and for the Australian Deaf community.
Dr Lyra L’Estrange is committed to social justice, redefining the educa-tion experiences for learners living with the outcomes of complex trau-ma. She works with educators to implement trauma-informed practices in schools and early childhood centres, integrating research about the biological and neurological mechanisms of stress and trauma that im-pact learning. Lyra’s research drives the creation of national trauma-informed education guidelines and informs her pivotal role on the Inter-national Trauma-Aware Education Conference committee.
Dr Michelle Newcomb is internationally recognised for her research enhancing workplace well-being and reducing burnout in social work. Michelle’s research investigates how organisational processes and practices, which acknowledge and attend to staff well-being, can re-duce workplace attrition. She applies the theory of care ethics to identify how employers can better support staff in emotionally taxing and high-risk settings such as child protection. Her work, cited in over fifteen countries, has influenced the development of community services in the USA, the UK, and Australia.
Dr Melissa Teo is dedicated to building community resilience using social network analysis to map how people access information before and during disasters. Melissa identifies how ‘information travels’ within local community support networks to improve communication path-ways about disaster risk. Melissa’s key role in an Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade funded project in Indonesia will contribute to guiding government policy and practical strategies to reduce flood disaster vulnerability at the local level.
