I am research fellow at the Social Policy Research Centre at UNSW Sydney (University of New South Wales). My research interests lie in the social study of health and illness, with a particular focus on the connections between well-being, poverty and employment transitions, and how social and policy factors affect people’s intra-personal and inter-personal experiences of well-being and their resilience. I have extensive experience of undertaking research using a variety of research methods, specialising in mixed methods and qualitative research. My work has explored the quality of life, needs, service acceptability and service accessibility of socially disadvantaged groups, including people with disabilities, older people, unemployed people, migrants, and people living with HIV/AIDS. Work that I conducted in the field of mental health and wellbeing in England as part of an ESRC Lifelong Health and Wellbeing Collaborative Development Network Award was published in the series of expert papers by The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). I am the first author of the qualitative report published as part of the outcome evaluation of the NSW Keep Them Safe Program; this evaluation (led by Professor Ilan Katz at SPRC) won the Australasian Evaluation Society’s 2015 Award for Excellence in Evaluation.

Justin Lee is interested in the potential of open collaboration to map out social needs, democratising the kind of work that is typically done by researchers, policymakers or specialist agencies. He started wiki.socialcollab.sg and continues to facilitate networks for this purpose.
He has substantive interests in issues relating to disadvantaged populations, and has done research on the social inclusion of people with disabilities, proper end-of-life planning for vulnerable seniors and the re-integration of ex-offenders. He is also interested in the non-profit sector at large, and has been paying keen attention to the role and strengths of new and untapped resources like game designers, community artists and other social innovators.
In his previous position at the National Council of Social Service, Justin led needs-assessment projects, helped design programmes and conducted evaluation studies in partnership with various Voluntary Welfare Organisations. He is also Chairman of ArtsWok Collaborative, a non-profit organisation, which seeks to connect communities by harnessing the power of the arts to create dialogue, invite social participation and build bridges across difference.
