Pam Papadelos

Dr. Pam Papadelos serves as a Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology, Criminology & Gender Studies at the University of Adelaide's School of Social Sciences. She holds dual leadership roles as co-Director of the Fay Gale Centre for Research on Gender and as a member of the Hugo Centre for Migration and Population Research.

Her research critically examines gendered intersections with race, class, and sexuality through the lens of post-war migrant communities in Australia. She investigates how cultural diversity shapes social cohesion and national identity while conducting rigorous analyses of contemporary masculinity models. Her theoretical frameworks integrate poststructural feminist theory with critical migration studies to deconstruct power dynamics in cross-cultural practices.

Pam Papadelos actively supervises Masters and PhD candidates, fostering next-generation scholars in gender and migration research. Her institutional impact is amplified through leadership at the Fay Gale Centre for Research on Gender—Australia's premier interdisciplinary gender research hub—and the Hugo Centre for Migration and Population Research, where she contributes to national policy debates on demographic change.
