Lecturer in Public Policy at The University of Melbourne. Dr Jeremiah Thomas Brown's research applies the capability approach to the impact of public and social policy on the wellbeing outcomes of citizens. His focus is on the principles that underpin policy choices, and the impact that both government and organisations can have in improving wellbeing outcomes in people’s lives. His recent work analyses the role that administrative burden and application forms can play in preventing access to social security support, and how using a systems approach to financial wellbeing can improve individual financial wellbeing outcomes.
