Thea Brown or Thea Charlotte Brown is an Emeritus Professor in filicide and social work education, and was awarded an Order of Australian in June 2024, for "significant service to social welfare, particularly through family violence and child protection research".[1] She has examined which programs and policies lead to reductions in domestic violence. Her research and findings around domestic violence around relationship breakdown led to changes in Family Court laws and programs, and in particular, in 2011, her research led to changes to the Family Law Legislation (Family Violence and Other Measures).[2]
Early life and Education
Brown's first position was as a social worker, at the Professorial Units of Medicine and Surgery, within the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital.[3]
Brown received a Bachelor of Arts, in 1962, Diploma of Social work in 1962, and a PhD from the University of Melbourne.[4] Brown also worked at the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Sydney, the Mater Hospital at Newcastle, as well as Melbourne University.[3]
Career
Brown was the head of department from 1987 to 2013 at Monash University. She was later the Director of International Programs from 2004-2007, Chair of Residential Services from 1995 to 2004,
Brown specialises in research around family violence,[5] partnership breakdown, including divorce, as well as social work, education and filicide.[6][7] She received recognition for her research, 'for the contribution she's made to child and family welfare issues that many have shied away from, particularly shining a light on the complex phenomena of filicide, as well as family violence and men's behavioural change", commented Associate Professor Catherine Flynn. [8] Her research has examined if men's behaviour programs lead to reduced domestic violence and behavioural change amongst men.[9]
Brown's research on partnership breakdown resulted in changes in the Family Court programs in Australia, as well as changes in legisation, including the Family Law Legislation Amendment, in 2011.[10]
Since 2013, Brown has been Professor Emerita at the Monash Deakin Filicide research Hub,[11] which centres around searching for solutions and patterns around why parents kill children. The goal is to find patterns or behaviours that may enable prevention programs, and her research has uncovered many patterns around situations, familial and social, that lead to a higher likelihood of filicide and family violence.[12][13] Brown has been on Commonwealth and state committees around the policy of social work, including family violence, filicide and family breakdown.[14]
