Having previously worked in epidemiology and in rural health (at the Spencer Gulf Rural Health School) in Australia, I am currently working as a Career Development Fellow with the Ethnicity and Health Program of the Medical Research Council Social and Public Health Sciences Unit in Glasgow, Scotland.
