About Geoff

Dr. Geoff Noller is a Research Fellow in the Department of Primary Health Care at the University of Otago's Dunedin School of Medicine, within the Faculty of Medicine. A medical anthropologist, he earned his PhD from the University of Otago's Department of Psychological Medicine in 2008. His doctoral thesis, titled 'Cannabis in New Zealand: Use, users and policy,' examined cannabis consumption as a cultural practice, incorporating perspectives from users, drug policy reformers, and government personnel. Noller's research employs ethnographic and mixed-methods approaches, focusing on psychotropic drug use as a cultural practice, public health, rural health, harm reduction, and drug policy. Current projects include investigating the psychosocial impacts of the Mycoplasma bovis zoonotic disease incursion on southern New Zealand farming communities and enhancing harm reduction services and strategies for people who inject drugs in Te Waipounamu, the South Island.
