'All of us, most especially older people, urgently really need researchers with Cassie's capacity, knowledge and insight to contribute to and drive policy and practice...to ensure just and equitable outcomes for all older people'. I'm a sociologist, interdisciplinary qualitative researcher and resourceful problem solver with a keen interest in social policy, ageing, housing, and welfare and human services studies. I'm also interested in social history and people's stories about the past. My HDR research investigated the nexus between housing, choice, and social policy for older childless women in Australia. It explored their expectations for ageing in place and care, and the role of risk and complexity in influencing late life outcomes.
