PhD; Bachelor of Psychology (Honours 1) Linda completed her Ph.D in Psychology at the University of Queensland in 2012. Her thesis focused on the impact of ongoing gender inequality on young Australians’ attitudes towards and expectations of their future work and family lives. Post-PhD, she has worked in primarily research-oriented roles in universities (Queensland, Monash, Melbourne, UTS and Adelaide) and the federal government Workplace Gender Equality Agency. Linda also ran her own small consulting business for a few years, supporting universities, government departments and corporates to understand and improve aspects of their organisational culture and processes, particularly those that impact gender equality, diversity and inclusion. Since 2022, Linda has been teaching and supervising GDPA research students at UTS and the University of Adelaide, continuing to focus on sexism, feminism, gender inequality and intersectional dimensions of diversity and inclusion. In 2022, Linda took up sessional teaching and research supervision roles in the Business and Psychology Schools at UTS and the Psychology School at University of Adelaide. She taught Diversity Management to undergraduates and Diversity and Inclusion to Masters’ students at UTS, while also teaching into research design and analysis courses at Adelaide. She has also supervised three cohorts of students completing their research capstones at both UTS Psychology and Adelaide Psychology. With CSU in 2024, she will be teaching into the Bathurst offering of PSY115 – Introduction to Research, Ethics and Reasoning. Linda’s research background and abiding interest is in sexism, feminism, gender inequality, diversity and inclusion. Most recently, she has been supervising students investigating Ambivalent Sexism and their intersections with personality and individual differences, and how these effects impact work and life. A current topic of interest is how subtle forms of sexism influence gendered violence and the media coverage of family and domestic violence.
