Ngaire Donaghue

I am a social psychologist working on questions concerning gender and embodiment. I received my PhD from The University of Melbourne and have been at Murdoch since 1998.

My research investigates questions concerning gender, body image and obesity from the perspective of critical-feminist psychology.

I work with a large and active group of research students (PhD and Honours) and our work explores how social understandings of concepts such as gender and body image shape and constrain the kinds of identities that are developed by men and women of different shapes and sizes.
