Dr Campbell Tickner

As an accredited social worker, Campbell completed her PhD in Behavioural Science and Public Health with a specific focus on health social work practice. Her doctoral scholarship, which employs a postphenomenological approach, explores the impact of digital health technologies on the role and practice of health and mental health social workers. As a result of her keen interest in the philosophy of technology, theoretical frameworks, and conceptual analyses, she has developed a robust understanding of qualitative methodologies, which she has been able to apply across a range of projects. 

Campbell has a diverse range of research experience in social work, sociology, health, mental health, and alcohol and substance use. Her substantive research role has been within a multidisciplinary program of research focused on eHealth technologies, mental health, and wellbeing, with a particular emphasis on implementation science. In this role, Campbell was responsible for contributing to large-scale mixed methods research studies, with a primary focus on high-level stakeholder engagement and collaboration across government and non-government services.

Across her research and teaching roles, Campbell has had the opportunity to support other in developing their own understanding of qualitative and analytic methods. She has a genuine interest in developing the competencies of students and peers by providing formal and informal mentorship, both in the context of undergraduate supervision and postgraduate peer support.
