Dr Gillian Paxton Dr Gillian Paxton Postdoctoral Fellow, Social Dimensions of Reef Restoration and Adaption Cairns Institute James Cook University Web

I am an environmental anthropologist specializing in understanding complex human-environment relationships and working with communities to acheive inclusive, just and ethical socio-environmental change. I have considerable experience in applied environmental social science to support community engagement, wildlife conservation, natural resource management, climate adaptation and the adoption of sustainable technologies. I have held several research positions with the Queensland Government and the CSIRO, where I have explored the cultural aspects of drought adaptation in the Queensland grazing industry, best practice community engagement and knowledge adoption in agricultural extension programs in the Great Barrier Reef catchments, as well as a variety of other issues.
