Anna Hickey-Moody

Dr. Anna Hickey-Moody is a lecturer in Gender and Cultural Studies at Sydney. She worked at Monash and the University of South Australia before joining the Department in 2009. Her research interests lie at the intersection of cultural studies and the sociology of youth. In particular, Anna is interested in young people who are produced as socially ‘disadvantaged’: disabled youth, refugee youth, Aboriginal Australian youth and young people living in poverty. Between 2005-07 she conducted a project called 'Creative Arts Engaging Youth at Risk '. This was an investigation into how arts practices support young people at risk of leaving school early. The project focused on lower socio-economic students and refugee students at risk of leaving school early. The project troubled the construction of 'at risk' subjects and the production of the youthful 'at risk' subject in relation to assemblages of social disadvantage. The project also inquired into how different creative arts practices, especially different dance forms, appealed to the young people involved. Participants worked with photography, film-making, painting and dance. Resulting publications consider the extent to which such engagements impact on the production of ‘self’ through arts practices.
