About Amy Quayle
Amy is a lecturer in Psychology in the First Year College, and a research fellow in the Institute for Health and Sport's Community Identity Displacement research group.
Amy has expertise in community and liberation psychology and qualitative research methodologies. Amy’s research has focused on understanding racialised oppression; how it is experienced, the psychosocial implications for identities, communities and intergroup relations, as well as the resilient and resistant ways individuals and communities respond. Her research has also explored the possibilities created through community arts and cultural practice for individual, community and broader social change. With stories understood as resources for identity and community making processes, through community-based research, Amy seeks to document and amplify the (counter)stories of individuals and groups who are marginalised and excluded.
Amy is currently involved in a number of collaborative research projects with colleagues in IHeS, ISILC and Moondani Balluk and community partners. One project explores how cultural workshops can build knowledge and connection to Country, and how this supports Aboriginal social and emotional wellbeing. Amy is also involved in a Youth Participatory Action Research project with young people across Victoria exploring youth voice and action amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. Another project aims to document what reflexive antiracism looks and feels like in the current Australian post-colonising context to gain insights into how to best support those engaging in reflexive antiracism practice.
Amy is currently co-supervising two PhD students and one PhD (Integrated) student. Amy has previously supervised one psychology Honours student.
