Researcher's projects

Prof Henne has recently completed studies on the use of digital technologies for aid delivery and social assistance and for managing COVID-19 risks.

With Dr Matt Ventresca, she is writing a book, Violent Impacts: How Power and Inequality Shape the Concussion Crisis, under contract with University of California Press. It traces how social stratification informs who is more likely to experience traumatic brain injury and how it is understood as a public health problem. She is also leading a collaborative project on gender inclusion in sport, which builds on her earlier research regarding the regulation of fair play, including drug testing and gender verification practices, and health promotion initiatives for diverse groups in Australia, Aotearoa New Zealand and the Pacific.
