Biography
I am a social and health psychologist, with a focus on working time (including overwork/workaholism, shift work, evening and night work, unusual working hours or weekend work hours) and counterattitudinal behaviour. My non-academic background took me into manufacturing (both in China and Australia), media (newspapers and radio), and agriculture (as a fruit and vegetable farmer on the Granite Belt). I am also closely involved with developing world education, and am chair of the management committee/head of country of one of the largest educational charities in Bangladesh, Co-operation in Development, founded by Fred Hyde AM. My work in Bangladesh has extended my research interests into public health issues, climate impacts on health and welfare and demographics.
