Researching death, dying & transness

Hi, my name is Thy (pronounced "tee") O'Donell. I'm a current PhD candidate at the Australian National University in the School of Sociology.

My research explores the ways in which transgender and gender diverse people are thinking about their palliative and end-of-life care, as well as talking to clinicians working in these spaces to understand where gender appears in the palliative care journey.

You can find out more about some of my relevant experience, panel engagements and more by visiting my About page.

Some of the broader disciplines that I am currently situated in are:

• Death studies
• Trans studies
