Andy Wilson

Dr. Andy Wilson is an Adjunct Senior Research Fellow at Curtin University's School of Earth and Planetary Sciences (EPS), part of the Faculty of Science and Engineering. His work focuses on interdisciplinary research addressing health disparities, criminal justice system impacts, and social equity, particularly among marginalized populations such as Indigenous Australians, incarcerated individuals, and youth with substance use histories.

Wilson's research interests span public health policy, corrections systems, and intersectional healthcare. Notably, he has investigated contraceptive access in prisons, childhood adversity among incarcerated women, and HIV/STI dynamics in justice-involved adolescents. His studies often emphasize cultural competence and systemic reform, with projects like the 'Wangkiny Yirra' initiative amplifying First Nations voices in domestic violence discourse.

His recent publications (2020–2025) reveal a focus on carceral space experiences, surgical outcomes post-pandemic, and Indigenous health equity. While no formal students are listed, his collaborative projects likely involve multidisciplinary teams. Wilson advocates for transparency in police custody practices and equitable healthcare access for vulnerable groups, leveraging mixed-methods approaches including text mining and qualitative narratives.

Wilson’s work bridges academia and policy, aiming to inform evidence-based interventions in corrections, public health, and Indigenous community support. His contributions include critical analyses of drug policy in prisons and the psychosocial impacts of incarceration on family ties.
