EMAIL SALLY DENSHIRE 
Sally joined Charles Sturt University to help establish the first occupational therapy course in inland Australia in 1995 as an academic in what is now the School of Community Health. Previously she has worked in Sydney, London and New Zealand, in youth-specific occupational therapy, health service innovation, occupational therapy in psychiatry, childbirth education, curative education and clinical tutoring.
In 2006 she was awarded an RL Werner Doctoral Scholarship with the Centre for Research in Learning and Change at the University of Technology, Sydney. The research she undertook re-inscribed the everyday world of practice at Camperdown Children’s Hospital by crafting twice-told tales in dialogue with her selected publications. Her PhD, ‘Writing the ordinary: Auto-ethnographic tales of an occupational therapist’, is currently under examination.
Areas of Research Interest
Sally is a member of the Research Institute for Professional Practice, Learning and Education (RIPPLE). Her research area is the scholarship of practice. She uses writing as a method of inquiry; in particular, critical reflection and evocative, visual ways of representing practice and practitioner. Current interests include gender, embodiment, representing the other, history-making in the professions and the nexus between the humanities and sciences.
