Welcome to my blog!
I see myself principally as a sociologist, but my work is often interdisciplinary, especially engaging with media, communication and cultural studies. My current position is SHARP Professor in the Faculty of Arts & Social Sciences, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia. My undergraduate training was in sociology and anthropology at the Australian National University, and I have a Master of Public Health and a doctorate from the University of Sydney. For over two decades now I have written about the sociocultural dimensions of medicine and public health; risk; the body; and digital media. I have authored 18 books, edited nine others and published over 200 academic journal articles and book chapters on these topics. I am also interested in experimenting with innovative methods for social research.
I can be contacted by email on d.lupton@unsw.edu.au and my Twitter handle is @DALupton.
For more about my academic publications see my Academia.edu profile. For my Amazon author page, go here.
I am a longstanding and active member of The Australian Sociological Association (TASA).

I have an idea but, for the record, when did Sociology as a discipline become interdisciplanary? My reason for asking is I pretty much walked away from Sociology after I tried to introduce a psychological argument into my project on white collar crime and I was scoffed at (ridiculed) by the convenor of a course, a professor emeritus. A lot changes in ten years.
Hi Jane – Well a lot of sociology is not interdisciplinary, but I have moved between sociology and media and cultural studies throughout my career, as well as spending some time studying and working in public health (I have a Master of Public Health and my doctorate is from School of Public Health and includes both sociology and media studies).
Dear Deborah,
I am writing an article (a portfolio piece) on the connection between personal values and attachment to image/identity, and the behaviour of people who publish nutrition-related content online. I wondered if you might be interested in commenting. If so I woudl love to hear from you by email, and I can send you some questions as a starting point.
Not sure if that’s really my area of expertise, Jenna, but thank you for your interest in my work.

Hi Deborah, hope you`re well! My name is Elizabeth Duffy, and I am a recent graduate of Microbiology who is setting up a blog on vaccine hesitancy. I`m particularly interested in the social aspect of why people reject vaccines. I would love to collaborate to expand the reach of both of our blogs if you`re open to that. Thanks, Elizabeth
Hi Elizabeth – thank you for your interest, but I don’t have time to work with other bloggers right now. But best of luck with it! Deborah
