About
Helen studied sociology and history at Monash University, and worked as a teacher in secondary schools and a post-secondary college before working at RMIT.
After nearly thirty years as a teacher, she moved in 2006 to an associate position in the Centre for Applied Social Research. She led project on teaching sociology for the Carrick Institute and TASA (2008-9). She now specialises in the use of the computer program NVivo for managing qualitative data analyses.
She is active in The Australian Sociological Association (TASA), and has been editor of the electronic Qualitative Research Journal published by the Association for Qualitative Research.
Her PhD thesis on voluntary childlessness led in 1993 to the publication of Not Having Families (Oxford University Press), and to her interest in qualitative research methods that involve using computers in analysis of qualitative data. Her interest in teaching led to the textbook on the sociology of deviance and to her recent nation-wide project on sociology in Australian universities.
