Associate Professor RoseAnne Misajon

Prior to joining CMI in 2017, RoseAnne worked for 10 years in Behavioural Studies at Monash University, and previously as a researcher at the University of Melbourne’s Key Centre for Women’s Health and Centre for Eye Research Australia.

RoseAnne’s key areas of research include quality of life and subjective wellbeing, particularly, health-related quality of life (psychometrics and scale development, chronic illness, and disability), as well as subjective wellbeing in diverse populations, particularly minority groups and marginalised populations. She has an interdisciplinary approach to research, having collaborated with researchers from health economics, sociology, medicine, public health, cultural studies, and anthropology.  RoseAnne was involved in the development of several quality-of-life-related measures that are used internationally.  More recently, she has been interested in looking at migrant and refugee populations, experiences of discrimination, including racial and cultural microaggressions, and the impact on wellbeing and psychological distress.
