Adjunct Associate Professor Susan Gair is committed to social justice, reconciliation, and improved social policy and social work practice, particularly in regional areas.  Her teaching and research interests have focused on preparing the Australian social work workforce to meet real world challenges by embracing Indigenous ways of working, critical reflection, integrity, respect, critical empathy and evidence-based practice. Her research interests include child adoption policy and practice, exploring racism, student poverty and working with young people & families. Recent industry partnerships include national research optimising grandparents' contact with grandchildren after child protection concerns and intervention; groundbreaking research on the impact of inadequate income on students' study success; and co-produced research with a local diversionary centre exploring the views of young people at risk of offending about services delivered to them.
