The Freemasons Centre for Male Health and Wellbeing is pleased to introduce our three inaugural FCMHW - NT Division Research Fellows: Dr Daile Rung, Dr Himanshu Gupta and Dr Elizabeth Adamson.
Dr Daile Rung Daile is a research fellow at Menzies. She completed two Master of Education (MEd) degrees from the University of Sydney: MEd (International Education) in 2010 and MEd (Research) in 2012 and in 2018 completed her PhD from Charles Darwin University. Her PhD research explored the everyday emotional and material labour done by people with ‘non-citizen’ status as they move across international borders under various degrees of choice and resettle in Australia. Daile is an early career researcher with experience in diverse international contexts including Australia, America, Thailand and South Korea. Her research interests broadly concern the social, health and cultural consequences of neoliberal globalisation with a particular focus on social policy, social inclusion, citizenship, transnational migration and gender equality. Her work is informed by postcolonial feminist and decolonising research approaches to explore the health, wellbeing and social inclusion outcomes of marginalised populations, including refugees, migrants, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders and LGBTQIA+ communities.
Dr Himanshu Gupta Himanshu currently holds the position of Research Fellow at the Alcohol and Other Drugs and Gambling (AODG) research team at Menzies School of Health Research (Menzies). Prior to commencing at Menzies, he received an international scholarship to complete his PhD through the National Drug Research Institute at Curtin University, with a focus on health promotion and policy. Himanshu is currently leading and contributing to multiple Northern Territory Government (NTG) and Non-Government Organisation (NGO) funded AOD-policy research and evaluation projects that extend into areas relating to alcohol, gambling, housing, mental health, men’s health, education, and other Indigenous-focused research contexts. He has demonstrated leadership as an Early Career Researcher by leading the preparation and submission of more than $2 Million worth of grant proposals as Chief Investigator. Further, his mixed-methods expertise has been critical to the successful completion of multiple projects, which collectively equate to more than $1 Million. In recognition of his research excellence and contribution, he was also nominated for the 2019 Australasian Professional Society on Alcohol & other Drugs (APSAD) Early Career Researcher Award.
