Welcome: Charlotte Keenan

Charlotte joined the BRIDGES at Work team in mid-2025 as a Research Fellow based at the University of Queensland. In this role, she primarily works with industry stakeholders to support the co-design and implementation of evidence-based interventions to address sexual harassment. She also contributes across various phases of the broader ARC project.

Charlotte is an organisational psychology researcher, currently finalising her PhD, which investigates how people perceive sexual harassment in the workplace, particularly the more ambiguous and commonly overlooked type of gender harassment. Alongside this work, she has collaborated on research exploring the management of psychosocial hazards in the mining sector and examining barriers to reporting sexual harassment. Building on this foundation, she is now focused on the next step: how to design and embed effective systems to prevent and respond to workplace sexual harassment.

 Charlotte is also nearing completion of her Master of Organisational Psychology. She brings applied experience from diverse roles, including drug and alcohol counselling in correctional settings, recruitment in the private sector, and conducting organisational culture surveys in higher education.
