Brief Profile
Professor Gary Dowsett, PhD, is Acting Director at the Australian Research Centre in Sex, Health and Society at La Trobe University. From 2002 to 2005, Gary Dowsett was also Associate Professor in the Department of Sociomedical Sciences at Columbia University in New York, and Associate Professor in Clinical Sociomedical Sciences from 2005 to 2009. A sociologist, he has long been interested in sexuality research, particularly in relation to the rise of modern gay communities. Since 1986, he has been researching the HIV epidemic, particularly in Australia's gay communities, and has worked on many international HIV/AIDS and sexual health projects since the late 1980s. Since the 1990s he has also focused on HIV and AIDS internationally with research and community-based organisations in Bangladesh, Indonesia, Fiji, the US and UK, and other regional associations that focus on men who have sex with men. He has worked as a consultant and advisor to WHO, UNDP and UNAIDS. He is author, co-author or co-editor of six books, more than 80 book chapters and academic papers, and over 90 other publications. His first book (co-authored with Raewyn Connell and two other colleagues) was voted one of the top ten most influential books in Australian Sociology by The Australian Sociological Association in 2003. That same year, he was elected to the International Academy of Sex Research, and in 2005, he was awarded a five-year Victorian Health Promotion Foundation Senior Research Fellowship researching masculinity, sexuality and health. He was appointed to a Personal Chair in Sex, Health and Society at La Trobe University in 2006. In 2008, he was admitted as a Fellow of the Academy of the Social Sciences in Australia.
