About
Before working at Victoria University, Caroline Clark worked in the alcohol and other drugs field for over 20 years, in community development, research and workforce education.
At Victoria University she has researched current drug use issues in Melbourne’s west, and in 2020 she started work in the multidisciplinary Applied Security Sciences Partnership (ASSP).
Her doctoral research investigated the early history of treatment for alcohol problems in Victoria. She explored the interaction of medical theories and practices with the social, cultural, political and economic contexts in which they arose, reflecting on how we understand current health theories and practices in this field.
