Jaklin Eliott

Biography

Jaklin employs qualitative methodologies to examine how people talk or write about their experiences and perceptions of health-related issues, considering the social and ethical implications of different ways of understanding for individuals, carers (personal and professional), and society in general. Her research is a unique contribution to the literature dealing with the social and moral aspects of the experience of cancer and terminal illness - particularly with regard to patient/consumer perspectives in the areas of decision-making, hope, and Complementary and Alternative Medicine. She has extensive experience in designing and conducting qualitative research, using focus group and personal interviews, and in analysing text, media, and speech via thematic and discursive analytical techniques. A Senior Lecturer since 2012, and Program Coordinator since 2014 for the Counselling and Psychotherapy Graduate Suite of Programs in the School of Public Health, Dr Eliott has overseen significant growth in student numbers, increased staff levels, and industry engagement, whilst teaching and providing supervision for students at post-graduate level.
