Catherine Driscoll is an Australian researcher and expert in gender issues and cultural analysis.
[21] This interdisciplinary relational model for feminist cultural studies stretches across Driscoll's books on seemingly very different topics.
Bringing these discussions together with her own ethnographic research, Driscoll demonstrates the ongoing resonance of powerful cultural (and gendered) ideas about the rural and the urban".
[23] Even Driscoll's less theoretical work, such as the book Teen Film (2011), features the kind of unexpected directions, for example into media regulation,[24] that Highmore calls her "conjunctural and contextual enquiry".
[22] Her nationally funded research includes projects on ideas and images of girlhood, the history and experience of Australian country girlhood, cultural sustainability in rural communities, age-based media classification systems,[25] and ideas about boys and boyhood, especially in Australia.
