Michelle S. Fitts, PhD (she/her/hers)

Senior Research Fellow
Institute for Culture and Society, Western Sydney University
Alice Springs, Northern Territory, Australia

Michelle is a Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Culture and Society, Western Sydney University. Based in Alice Springs, she has worked for over a decade with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Australia. Her research experience is largely on multi-site projects examining alcohol, traumatic brain injury, disability and drink driving. Michelle holds an Australian Research Council DECRA Fellowship (2021-2024), focused on understanding the daily lives of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women who have sustained a traumatic brain injury through family violence. This program of work is one of the first projects to investigate the nexus of violence and traumatic brain injury among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women. The project, which is working with women living with traumatic brain injury, their families and the services who support them, will seek to bridge the gap between research and practice and help inform the service delivery of disability, legal, health and family violence agencies.
