Roslyn Galligan

Lecturer

Biography

After originally studying Chemistry at the University of Western Australia, and later Psychology at the University of Queensland, I went to the University of Toronto in Canada, where I completed a Masters degree after which I received a Canada Council Scholarship which allowed me to complete a PhD in Developmental Psychology. I returned to Australia and tutored and lectured at ANU for 10 years, before coming to Swinburne as a lecturer in Psychology. During this time I decided to expand my area of expertise so that I could work clinically with families, adolescents and children so I undertook a Doctorate in Clinical Psychology at the University of Melbourne, which I completed in 2007. Since that time, I have expanded my teaching and research to more clinical areas.
