Sarah C. Hunter is a post-doctoral research fellow in the College of Nursing and Health Sciences, Flinders University and a Visiting Research Fellow in the School of Psychology, the University of Adelaide. Her research interests pertain to Men, Masculinities and Fathering. In particular, she is interested in the role of social norms and expectations and how the discourses surrounding these impacts on the lives of men and fathers. One of her more notable publications in this area published in Social Personality and Psychology Compass challenged current thinking in the field by arguing that suggestions of shifts in masculinity are overstated. In addition, Sarah’s research also pertains to Knowledge Translation and the various ways in which we can take research findings and influence policy and practice and make positive, sustainable change in society.
