William Lauder

Research interests

My main research interests can be broadly framed as vulnerable and marginalized groups and more recently the role of health care workers and social capital. Marginalized groups include studies of self-neglecters (Diogenes Syndrome) and healthcare workers in rural areas. I am currently involved in a series of studies with the Population Research Laboratory at Central Queensland University investigating loneliness, poverty and social capital.
