Rate My Professor Belinda Beattie

Dr Belinda Beattie is a Lecturer in Public Policy in the School of Humanities, Arts, and Social Sciences within the Faculty of Humanities, Arts, Social Sciences and Education at the University of New England. She earned her Doctor of Philosophy from the University of New England in 2005, with a thesis entitled "Public Policy Implementation and the NSW Public Health System: Commensurability of the Health Services Act 1997 (NSW) and Area Health Service Performance Agreements." Her early work includes the article "What impact has managerialism had on a New South Wales Area Health Service?" published in Australian Health Review in 2000. Beattie's research focuses on public policy, examining how ideas transform into principles adopted by public organizations. She studies deviance in rural and regional mining communities from perspectives of community, public policy, and media. Her interests extend to the personal stories of Australia's First and Second Federal Parliamentarians, Indigenous and settler colonialism, media framing during the Federation period, and social deviance in historical contexts such as the long Victorian era. She welcomes supervision of higher degree research in these areas.
