Glenda is a researcher in the Disability and Health Unit and investigates how the social determinants of health lead to health inequalities for people with disability. Her diverse background in disability research, behavioural neuroscience, nutrition and health data science allows her to apply analytical epidemiological methods to large administrative datasets and longitudinal surveys, investigating a range of policy-relevant health outcomes and inequities that are important for people with disability. She also brings the personal perspective of lived experience of disability.
