Georgia Carr

Dr Georgia Carr is a Research Fellow at the General Practice Clinical School within the Sydney Medical School, part of the University of Sydney's Faculty of Medicine and Health. She specializes in health communication, media analysis, and linguistic approaches to education policy. Her work focuses on sex education discourse, public health messaging, and the intersection of media narratives with societal issues like climate change and diabetes awareness.

Her research employs corpus linguistics and digital text analysis to explore how language shapes public understanding of critical topics. Notable projects include analyzing Twitter discourses during environmental crises, examining sex education advice in magazines, and studying diabetes coverage in Australian newspapers. She has also contributed to media discussions on consent education through interviews and op-eds.

Recent work highlights evolving trends in health communication strategies and the disconnect between formal curricula and classroom practices in sexuality education. Her interdisciplinary approach bridges linguistics, sociology, and public health to address gaps in policy implementation and public discourse.
