Bio
Core research interests of Adjunct Associate Professor Susan Gair are informed by a commitment to social justice, reconciliation, and improved social policy and social work practice. Her key teaching and research interests have been concerned with preparing the Australian social work workforce to meet real world challenges through practice inclusive of Indigenous knowledges and ways of working; reflective practice; critical empathy; and creative research methods for evidence-based practice. See for example her edited publication 'Sharing qualitative research: Showing lived experience and community narratives' published by Routledge in 2017, in which she has co-written several chapters. Her research interests have included child adoption policy and practice, exploring racism, and developing culturally-responsive practice. Recently, collaborating with key industry partners, A/Prof Gair explored optimising grandparents' contact with grandchildren after child protection concerns and intervention ('Grandparents Matter' study). She also conducted national, ground-breaking research on the impact of inadequate income on students' study success in partnership with the Australian Association of Social Workers (AASW); and local research with a diversionary service about at-risk youth and services provided to them.
A/Prof Gair's leadership in her field is demonstrated with her research findings and publications helping inform national social policy debate. For example, Susan's research findings on student poverty informed national submissions by the Australian Association of Social Work and St Vincent de Paul Society National Council to the Commonwealth Government highlighting the inadequate rate of Youth Allowance (2018) and submissions to the 2019 Senate Inquiry into the Newstart Allowance. Previous research findings were invited to be submitted to the Commonwealth Inquiry into Forced Adoptions.
A/Prof Gair presented research findings on student poverty to the European Social Work Research conference in Aalborg, Denmark in April, 2017. The findings from the student poverty study also were presented (invited speaker) to ANZSWWER conference in Auckland, NZ, in 2017, and findings from the 'Grandparents Matter' study were presented to the ACWA conference, Sydney, in August, 2018. As a visiting scholar she discussed her research interests, including the Grand Challenges for Social Work, with colleagues at The University of Washington, Seattle, and University of Southern California, USA (Aug, 2019).
Her publications are widely read (see further below list of publications). She was a Research Fellow with The Cairns Institute 2017-2021.
A/Prof Gair's other professional communications and engagements include:
• writing for 'The Conversation' where her articles have attracted over 95,000 readers
• a commissioned report for the Australian Association of Social Workers submitted to the Commonwealth Inquiry into past forced adoption; called as witness to the Inquiry.
• facilitating writing groups for social work practitioners across NGO's and Government Departments
• facilitating women's community writing groups in North Queensland that resulted in publications for attendees with Black Ink Press.
• serving on the Editorial Boards of national and international social work journals.
• She currently serves as the Editor of 'Australian Social Work'.
