RESEARCH SUMMARy
Dr Jenny McMahon’s research career spans 14 years which has centred on five complimentary themes which include:
1. Abuse, violence and prevention measures.
2. Trauma.
3. Trauma-informed practices.
4. Trauma-informed research approaches, and
5. The development and advancement of qualitative methods.
Much of Dr. McMahon's research has focused on foregrounding the voices of those who have been subjected to maltreatment, and the trauma that often results as a consequence, with the intention that social action may result. In the research sense, her development of trauma-informed research approaches, has created safer spaces for maltreatment and trauma stories to be shared without the risk of re-traumatization.
Dr. McMahon holds a deep commitment to collaboration. She has forged national and international research partnerships that have yielded numerous publications, grants, and speaking engagements.
