University of North Carolina

Department of Anthropology

Living and working in Cambodia and Bangladesh has deepened Jane's commitment to peace and community development. In 2002, Jane was selected as an Australian Youth Ambassador for Development and worked as a Project Advisor with the Association of the Blind in Cambodia . It was during this time that Jane developed a particular interest in acid attack violence.  On completion of her work, Jane returned to Australia and commenced university studies at Southern Cross University.  During her studies, she returned to Cambodia for 18 months to continue her work with acid attack survivors and also to conduct research for her Honors degree. On completion of her degree, Jane worked with the Acid Survivors Foundation, Dhaka , Bangladesh , conducting research on the development of sensitive and sustainable interventions for acid attack survivors and their family members. Following her studies as a Rotary World Peace Fellow, Jane would like to work in international community development on issues of prevention of violence against women and girls.
