Research interests

Jane O'Sullivan's research interests include the nature of gendered power relations and their representation in film, theatre, and prose, with particular attention to female embodiment; gender equity in contemporary workplaces, masculinities in Australian film and most recently, the representation of animals in popular culture. In addition she is interested in the application of a Problem-Based approach to teaching and learning, particulary in respect to its applications in studies in media and gender.
