Julia Verdouw is a research fellow in the Housing and Community Research Unit (HACRU) in the School of Social Sciences. She brings a sociological lens to her work in housing research, which has focused on access to housing for marginalised groups including remote Indigenous tenants, people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, and social housing tenants. She has a strong qualitative research focus, and her recent work includes social network analysis. These methods have been applied to a range of research applications including service evaluation, consultation with local government, AHURI research projects and local community research work. Her current work investigates pathways for tax reform toward increasing affordable housing access nationally.
Biography
Julia Verdouw is a researcher with strong qualitative research experience. Her doctoral thesis, a qualitative study into the role of money in a good life, was concerned with issues of subjective well-being and how economic experiences shape everyday meanings. These qualitative interests have continued to motivate and inform her teaching and research work at the University of Tasmania. She has taught undergraduate and post-graduate qualitative research methods courses, including the design and development of ‘Volunteering Sociology’, an undergraduate, work-experience based unit focusing on social health outcomes. Her recent research work with HACRU has included multiple research projects in the health-services related field of housing. In particular, Julia has focused on improved policy and service outcomes for Australians in marginalised or insecure housing tenures, including remote Indigenous Australians and people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness; improving housing affordability for low-income and at-risk Australians and reducing place-based stigma for marginalised and geographically isolated suburbs.
Julia’s areas of expertise and skills include:
- Pathways to housing-related tax reform
- Access to housing (including homelessness and Indigenous tenancies)
- Community engagement (including asset mapping)
- State Affordable Housing Strategy consultation (Tasmania)
- Qualitative research methods (design, interviewing, analysis, teaching)
- Social Network analysis (project design, survey design, analysis)
- Complex ethics applications (e.g. based on ethnicity and vulnerability)
- Project management
- Service evaluation

Expertise
Julia’s research has focused in a number of key areas:
- Housing Disadvantage: homelessness in Australia (particularly Housing First model), remote indigenous tenancies, stigmatised communities.
- Building sustainable Communities: reducing Stigma, addressing structural disadvantage, social network analysis and understanding/building social capital and participation.
- Housing Policy Outcomes: Housing safety, affordability, accessibility and supply; tax reform toward equitable, sustainable and efficient taxes that increase housing affordability.
Research Themes
Julia’s research is related to the University’s research theme areas of Creativity, Culture and Society, and Better Health. It is well understood that secure, affordable and appropriate housing is foundational to better health and wellbeing outcomes for people in Australia and elsewhere. Julia’s research interests focus on how normative housing market patterns in Australian society – alongside a range of other social factors - shape experiences and outcomes for people in marginalised housing environments. Her research is aimed at underscoring the structural, social and cultural influences leading to marginalisation, as well as outlining policy, service provider and community options for addressing these to improve the health and wellbeing of people in the area under study.
Collaboration
Julia has worked collaboratively with other researchers on a number of projects, including:
- 2015/16: Building Sustainable Communities research in colleague with University of Sydney
- 2016-2017: Pathways to Housing Tax Reform, AHURI Inquiry with colleagues from the University of NSW, University of Sydney, and Curtin University Business Centre.
Current projects
Julia is currently working on research exploring sustainable pathways to housing tax reform through key tax portfolios, including property taxes, personal income tax and retirement and superannuation taxes.

- Description
- The issue of how to build community engagement and promote pathways to economic and social inclu sion for the most excluded social groups is one of the most vexed areas of social policy. This project addresses this concern through an innovative approach designed to avoid 'benevolent othering' in areas where placebased stigma creates division and social exclusion that extend to within the neighbourhood itself. The project combines volunteering with participatory community-based action research to develop a system map that extends asset-based community development approaches by identifying how networks .operate as enablers and constraintsthrough relationships of power, trust, conflict and collaboration.
