Adjunct Associate Professor in History, Australian Catholic University
Jacqueline Wilson is an adjunct Associate Professor at the Australian Catholic University and a visiting fellow at the Australian National University, with over 20 years experience teaching and researching in universities across Australia. She has authored over fifty scholarly publications with a research focus on the
intersections between critical heritage, institutionalisation, incarceration, and sites of
suffering and trauma. Jacqueline is a former State ward and her experience of State care
affords her insider knowledge of those heritage sites where children were incarcerated under
the auspices of welfare and “care”. These experiences inform much of her research into the history of children in out of home care and institutionalisation.
Jacqueline is committed to achieving historical justice for care leavers. Her research has led to policy changes and numerous invitations to speak publicly about her work.
