Dr Zoe Jordan

Biography/ Background

I have been actively involved in the field of health research and communications for the last fifteen years, eleven of which have been with the Joanna Briggs Institute where I am currently the Associate Director for Communication Science.

My interests relate to contemporary approaches to international communication and collaboration, with particular reference to the emerging interrelationship and convergence of communication and culture in the context of a global society.
