Biography

Poppy de Souza is a postdoctoral fellow at the Big Anxiety Research Centre within the Faculty of Arts, Design & Architecture at the University of New South Wales. She is an interdisciplinary researcher with a diverse portfolio that leans towards cultural and creative critical research practices.

Grounded in feminist, intersectional, and community-led approaches, her work is dedicated to critical praxis oriented towards social justice. Currently, Poppy's research spans several collaborative projects, including sound-based initiatives that foster collective listening in the wake of pandemic grief and arts-based workshops that explore cultural connections among forcibly displaced women. As a co-Chief Investigator on the Australian Research Council Discovery Project, she aims to enhance the media engagement pathways for new migrant communities. Her role at the Big Anxiety Research Centre involves the development of innovative programs aimed at tackling mental health issues across diverse communities both in Australia and internationally.
