• Biography/ Background

  Graduate Program in Counselling and Psychotherapy

  Program Coordinator (Research/1st year student liaison)
  Senior Lecturer
  

  Before commencing employment at the University, I was a Social Scientist with the Cancer Council Australia between 2008-11 (maintaining this position part-time for 2012), and a Visiting Research Fellow at University of Adelaide. Prior to 2008, I worked in the Cancer Research Centre at the Royal Adelaide Hospital. In 2007, I was a Visiting Research Scholar with the Hope Foundation, University of Alberta, Canada.

  My PhD thesis (2006) examined the discursive construction of the 'do-not-resusitate' decision in the speech of patients diagnosed with cancer. I am fascinated by the social and moral implications of how people talk or write about their experiences and perceptions of serious or terminal illness. I also have an interest in how patients and their families make decisions throughout their illness journey (from diagnosis to death), and particularly, in the significance of different patterns of meanings for individuals, carers (personal and professional), and society in general.

   

  Recently, I have become interested in our beliefs around alcohol, particularly with regard to negotiating competing claims of health, risk, and social significance. Much of my work has a critical element in it, often centred on the gap between theory and practice, and the implications for medical policy and practice.

  Public and ethical responses to mandated alcohol warning labels about increased long-term risk of cancer

  ARC Linkage Project, 2012-2015 (LP120200175)

  Miller, Dr Emma R; Eliott, Dr Jaklin A; Olver, Prof Ian N; Ali, Dr Robert L; Braunack-Mayer, Prof Annette J; Crabb, Dr Shona H; Louise, Dr Jennie ; Baratiny, Dr Genevieve Y

  Partner Organisations: Cancer Council Australia, Drug and Alcohol Services South Australia

  Summary:

  This project will determine how the Australian public will respond to the proposed introduction of alcohol product warning labels. It will establish how such at point of sale messages can acceptably and effectively inform Australians about the long-term, but modifiable, cancer risk associated with alcohol use and reduce the national cancer burden.

   

  Adelaide-Bordeaux Student Alcohol Project – a Pilot Study

  A project funded by the Faculty of the Professions, University of Adelaide

  Miller, Dr Emma R & Eliott, Dr Jaklin; Bouzdine-Chameeva, Prof Tatiana

  Summary:

  This project will examine all aspects of alcohol behaviour, including all forms of alcohol, in students in both university cohorts. The information will assist in characterising risk behaviour in relation to alcohol, and will benefit the University by providing risk level data specific to inform appropriate preventive activity planning.
