Dr Renee Kyle
BSc (Psychology), MA (Women’s Studies), PhD
Associate Research Fellow in the Faculty of Arts and the ARC Centre of Excellence for Electromaterials Science. Currently working on three research projects: investigating the social and ethical implications of nanotechnology (‘Bionic People’); the Big Picture Bioethics Project; and a multidisciplinary project on women’s reproductive health policy in Australia.
Research Interests
Broadly interested in applied ethics, with a particular interest in mental health and feminist bioethics. Areas of interest include trauma-related disorders; female adolescent development; embodiment. In my PhD (completed in 2006) I explored deliberate self-harm in young women who experienced childhood sexual abuse from a feminist philosophical perspective.
