Vale Associate Professor Maria Zadoroznyj
20th July 1952 – 13th October 2020 |  | |
Sadly, Associate Professor Maria Zadoroznyj died on the 13th October 2020 after a relatively long battle with cancer. Maria was a career long member of TASA, regularly attended TASA conferences and participated in the life of the organisation at many levels. Maria graduated with her PhD in 1990 from the University of Wisconsin, Maddison, examining the professionalisation of nursing. Around that time, she commenced work at Flinders University as a Lecturer and progressed to Associate Professor. During her time at Flinders, Maria was Head of School and an editor of the Journal of Sociology. In 2009, she moved to the University of Queensland, where she worked until her retirement in 2015.
Most of Maria’s research was in health sociology, with particular interest in the organisation of work in the health sector. Her passion, though, was investigating how such work shaped the ability of parents – especially mothers – to give their children a good start in life. Her work in this area traversed the relationship between medical dominance and maternal care; the cultural politics of post-natal care; how paid parental leave created conditions for bonding with children; and on the choices that mothers have available to them in dealing with the health system, their work and communities. Maria had a great handle on the merits and requirements of both qualitative and quantitative research, but it was in her interviews that her talents as a researcher shone. Read on...
