Her feminist sociological research is innovative and multi-dimensional and for the last 10 years, she has uniquely contributed to her fields of expertise by identifying the depth and enduring character of gender-based inequalities. Her excellence in research has been recognised via appointments to key national committees (e.g. Australian Women’s and Gender Studies Association) and through prestigious international visiting scholar appointments (e.g. Eleanor Glanville Centre, University of Lincoln, UK), and speaking invitations (e.g. National Science Week).

Expertise
Meredith’s interdisciplinary qualitative work tackles some of the big questions in Sociology and Gender Studies including:
- How is gender inequality symbolised and reproduced in everyday life?
- How are gendered inequalities a product of multiple, intersecting social forces?
- What is the role of the media in enabling persistent, intersecting inequalities?
To explore the ‘big questions’ in her field, Meredith examines four key sites where gender inequality persists:
1) Reproduction and parenting
2) Organisational culture
3) Media
4) Leisure
Meredith’s work examines how gendered inequalities in these sites undermine women’s existing rights, pose difficulties in how women manage paid work and caring responsibilities, challenge their realistic portrayals in the media, and limit access to leisure time/spaces.
Research Themes
Meredith's research aligns with the University research themes of Better Health and Creativity, Culture and Society.

Gender Equity in Antarctic Research (2017)$4,915
- Description
- Women are underrepresented in STEMM/leadership positions worldwide (ABS 2014). Although women comprise 50% of PhDs in Natural and Physical Sciences in Australia, they comprise only 16% of senior academic leaders (SAGE 2017). Implicit biases/discrimination, gender stereotyping, family obligations, and lack of role models are all barriers to womens advancement (e.g. Roberts 2014). 60% of polar ECRs are women; yet, there is no public data on gender equity in Australian Antarctic science (Strugnell et al. 2016). Existing research primarily tracks publications/other similar metrics to measure womens STEMM participation. However, this approach risks recognising women only if they behave like men, ignoring disproportionate rates of sexual harassment experienced by women. Women in Antarctic research are 3.5 times more likely to experience harassment than men (Clancy et al. 2014).To fill this gap, this project uses an intersectional approach to develop a baseline understanding of the characteristics of women in Australian Antarctic research and their research experiences to inform long-term responses to gendered inequality in the field.

Exploring the public health potential of parkrun in Tasmania (2016)$6,935
- Description
- Regular physical activity is essential for preventing chronic diseases, yet only 30% of Australians exercise adequately for good health. However, older adults, who are at risk for obesity and chronic disease, are least likely to exercise. Understanding the reasons for physical activity participation among this population group is a fundamental first step in developing approaches to improve population health and wellbeing. Using a data-driven approach, this project will examine interpersonal, intrapersonal and environmental reasons for participating in parkrun, an Australia-wide network of free, weekly timed 5km runs/walks in public parks. Parkrun is notable because it has minimal barriers to participation it requires no payment, specialised equipment/clothing, it has no upper/lower age limit, nor does it require previous experience with running. As a mass participation community running/walking event, parkrun may have significant untapped potential for public health gain. By identifying strategies for widening social accessibility of physical activity in Tasmania, this project will has the potential to improve health outcomes for Tasmanians, which would provide long-term social and economic benefits including reductions in the preventable disease burden and significant savings in health care costs.

Making guidelines meet the challenge of multimorbidity in general practice: development of an evidence-based approach to integration of disease specific guidelines to better manage multimorbidity (2015)$80,453
- Description
- The aim of this study is to design an evidence-based approach to developing and implementing clinical guidelines for GPs that incorporate the complexities of managing multimorbidity. The project will do this by using answers from the following research questions: 1) is multimorbidity addressed within major Australian chronic disease guidelines? If so, how?; 2) is multimorbidity addressed specifically in prevention and treatment recommendations for physical activity promotion/exercise prescription?; 3) how do physical activity promotion/exercise prescription recommendations compare across different disease guidelines and what are the identifiable areas of commonality and/or contradiction across guidelines?; 4) how might physical activity promotion/exercise prescription recommendations in different guidelines be integrated in a way which will better support GPs management of multimorbidity? This study will focus on common chronic diseases which account for around 60% of the total chronic problems managed in general practice and which are also commonly seen as co-morbidities, namely: cardiovascular disease and its risk factors (hypertension and lipid abnormalities); musculoskeletal diseases (osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and back pain); diabetes mellitus; asthma and chronic obstructive airways disease; and depression. For research questions 1 to 3, the project will conduct content analysis of Australian evidence-based guidelines for management of chronic disease in primary care. Steps in this will include: 1) a systematic search of both the scientific and grey literature to identify existing Australian guidelines; 2) assessment of guideline quality against the Scottish Intercollegiate Guideline Network (SIGN) methodology; 3) data extraction and content analysis. For research question 4, the data from content analysis will be used to develop potential models of integrating recommendations from multiple guidelines into a form that is readily usable by GPs. The project will explore how to present information on multimorbidity in guidelines for primary care, with reference to physical activity/exercise qualitatively using key stakeholder interviews and focus groups with general practitioners to test alternative methods of presentation of guidelines information on managing physical activity recommendations in the presence of multimorbidity. Feedback will be sought on clinical relevance, usability, applicability to different multimorbidity scenarios, and applicability of existing tools to help practitioners discuss management of multiple diseases with their patients. The project will develop a guideline model for physical activity which as a next step will be ready for formal testing by randomised controlled trial.
