Dr Robyn Moore is a white feminist who lives and works on the land of the Paredarerme. She is a Lecturer in Cultural Studies in Health for the School of Medicine and the School of Social Sciences. Her teaching centres cultural intelligence and cultural safety as means by which inequities can be addressed, particularly those which are maintained via subtle, implicit or unconscious processes.
Her PhD thesis employed a critical whiteness studies framework to explore the role of secondary school Australian history textbooks in reproducing racialised categories of national belonging and exclusion. Since graduating, she has been engaged in a range of research projects exploring topics such as microaggressions, unconscious bias and decolonisation in relation to the experiences of women of colour in STEMM, girls in action sports, cultural safety teaching, collaborative teaching models and allyship.

Research Themes
Robyn’s research aligns with the University’s research theme of Creativity, Culture and Society. Her research examines taken for granted aspects of Australian society and explores strategies to build social equity such as allyship and decolonisation. While chiefly focused on race and gender, she is invested in interrupting all aspects of normative dominance, including those related to class, sexuality and ability. Robyn’s research is not separate from her personal, ongoing journey to challenge the cultural assumptions and privileges she has imbibed as, in many ways, a member of the dominant culture in Australia.
