Research interests
Claire specialises in the history of medicine and public health, with special focus on how health information has been communicated in New Zealand, the use of changing technologies to facilitate this, and histories of resistance and dissent to public health measures.
Claire currently has several projects she is working on, including a book manuscript from her PhD thesis on Dr H.B. Turbott's 'Radio Doctor' health broadcasts (1943-1984), funded by the Judith Binney Trust and the Friends of the Turnbull Library. She is also working on a collaborative project with Professor Angela Wanhalla focused on returned 28th Battalion Māori veterans.
