About Dr Kellie Burns
Kellie's research interests include gender, sexuality, citizenship, sport and media cultures, and health. She conducted a large case study of the Sydney 2002 Gay Games, exploring the contested relationships between sport, sexualities, citizenship and the increasingly neoliberal mandates of large global sport and tourism events. She has been involved in a series of research initiatives around HPV and sexual health knowledge in secondary and tertiary educational settings in both Australia and Canada.
She is currently investigating the socio-historical role of schools as public health spaces across the late nineteen and early twentieth centuries, examining how ideas about childhood disease and health have been constructed.
