BIO

Dr. Tamara Borovica is Vice Chancellor's Postdoctoral Fellow and creative artist at RMIT University’s Social Equity Research Centre. Her work focuses on the sociology of emotion and health, particularly in the context of trauma and resilience. Using participatory and arts-based methods, she explores how emotions and lived experiences, including the collective ones, shape mental health. Tamara is an emerging leader in critical mental health research, continuously pushing the boundaries of how creative practice and arts can be utilised for social change. Her work addresses the emotional dimensions of mental health and informs training strategies for health organisations, emphasising empathy, connection, and social equity.

She is an incoming co-director of HealthTalk Australia, co-convenor of HASH Arts and Creative Practice for Wellbeing thematic group and member of Social Equity Research Centre and Digital Ethnography Research Centre at RMIT.
