Talking Research: Women in Paramedicine Series - A Collective Perspective

In the final episode of the Talking Research series, Women in Paramedicine, host Laura Hirello is joined by returning guests Lisa Hobbs, Alisha MacFarlane, and Judy Sheehan for a reflective group discussion. Together, they explore the inspirations behind their research and examine how identity - personal, professional, and cultural - is both shaped and challenged within paramedicine. The conversation delves into the evolving role of gender across education, practice, leadership, and academia, and how their work has influenced their own professional identities. Looking to the future, they share what gives them hope for the next generation of women in paramedicine, and the broader impact they hope their research will have across healthcare and education.Presented by:Lisa Hobbs, PhD Student, Senior Lecturer & Placement Experience Coordinator, ACUAlisha McFarlane, PhD Student, Monash University; Member Engagement Manager, Australasian College of Paramedicine; Lecturer in Paramedicine, Charles Sturt UniversityJudy Sheahan, PhD Student and Lecturer in Post-Graduate Critical Care Paramedicine, Edith Cowan University.Hosted by: Laura Hirello, PhD Student, Monash University.
