Research Fellow
Eloise is an Early Career Research Fellow passionate about family health and wellbeing. Eloise first joined the Centre in 2018 as a part-time Research Assistant. Eloise completed her PhD (2019-2023) within Deakin University’s Institute for Physical Activity and Nutrition, exploring the use and impact of screens during shared mealtimes in families with young children. In 2022, Eloise re-joined the ACBRD, exploring diabetes language and GDM-specific stigma. Eloise’s current research program focuses on supporting optimal health and wellbeing for women and families post-GDM. Her research explores the role of family mealtimes as a context for health promotion post-GDM, and seeks to understand health professionals and stakeholder attitudes towards their roles and responsibilities in T2D preventative care post-GDM.
Eloise’s main research interests include understanding and reducing health related stigmas, maternal and family wellbeing, nutrition, and health behaviour change, a lifecourse approach to T2D risk-reduction, and participatory and qualitative research methods.
Eloise co-leads the Family Meals Collective; which brings together like-minded researchers from across the world working to understand shared mealtimes, as well as the Public Health Qualitative Research Methods Collective; which offers peer to peer knowledge sharing of all things regarding qualitative research methods.
