Lorrae van Kerkhoff is a Post-doctoral Research Fellow at the National Centre for Epidemiology and Population Health at the Australian National University. In 2004 she received a Fulbright post-doctoral fellowship and a Land and Water Australia Traveling Fellowship to spend a year at Harvard’s Center for International Development, where she examined how scientific and technical information have been used to shape interventions into malaria, HIV/AIDS, and tuberculosis in an innovative global public health organization. She completed her doctorate in 2002 from the Australian National University where she investigated the concept of integrated research, and how it is being understood and implemented. Her broad interests include the role of language in the development of new conceptual areas; informal learning as a part of professional research practice; and the interplay between large socio-political forces such as globalization and the knowledge economy on research oriented to public management, particularly in relation to sustainability and global public health.
