Professor Boydell is Head of the AKT (arts-based knowledge translation) Lab at the Black Dog Institute and Director of Knowledge Translation for Maridulu Budyari Gumal – Sydney Partnership in Health Education Research and Enterprise (SPHERE), one of 8 NHMRC Advanced Research Translational Centres. Her participatory, collaborative program of research uses the arts, broadly defined, in the research creation and dissemination process. She has published more than 250 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters and also uses installation art as a knowledge translation strategy to share empirical research findings to a wide range of audiences. Using these strategies has resulted in increased mental health literacy, decreased stigma and enhanced help seeking.
