Rachel is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Population Health at UNSW. Her expertise is in public health, political economy, science and technology studies, social policy and media studies. Rachel’s current projects explore the rationales shaping developments in risk calculation, data integration, and automated decision-making in public health and social policy. Proposing an analysis attuned to the shifting political economy of ‘knowing’ populations (from social democratic to neoliberal welfare states), this research interrogates how contemporary power operates through the nexus of technology, finance and health. She has been a member of the Allens Hub Data Justice Network since 2019.
