Gail Hawkes is an experienced teacher and researcher with a wide range of sociological expertise as well as specific research interests, and is committed to teaching sociological thinking in its widest sense across all levels of the learning experience. As a former mature entry student and qualified health professional, she has a special interest in and commitment to encouraging a wide range of teaching and learning strategies. Her own academic training has involved a preference for historical and theoretical sociology that is utilised to gain insights into 'common sense' ideas and practices. This approach informed her interest in and approach to her specialist field of sexuality and sexual identity that she pursues in both teaching and research. She lived and worked in the UK for many years before returning to her homeland, Australia.
