Isabella Wilson is a Research Associate at the James Martin Institute for Public Policy.

Isabella is currently completing her doctorate in social policy at the University of Sydney’s School of Social and Political Sciences, researching within the Sydney Centre for Healthy Societies. Her research interests include a broad range of social policy issues and their relation to questions of injustice. Her previous undergraduate honours thesis analysed two Commonwealth policies that targeted Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and her current doctoral research examines the shortcomings of Early Childhood Education and Care policies for vulnerable populations in Australia.

Having spent some time in both academia and the public service, Isabella is passionate about connecting these two realms in the pursuit of producing informed public policy solutions to improve societal outcomes.
