  • Biography/ Background

    ORCHID

    Dee Michell is a feminist theologian and social researcher whose research interests pivot around the themes of lived experience, marginalisation and transformation.

    Dee has a broad interest in gender, religion and spirituality, and a particular interest in the women dominated 19th century American traditions of Spiritualism, Theosophy, Christian Science and New Thought. You can hear Dee in conversation with writer James Boyce at Adelaide Writers' Week 2015.

    Dee was made a Ward of the South Australian State in 1960 and remained in foster care for 15 years. She worked as an administrator for a multi-national corporation before going to university in her 40s, when she combined study with primary care for her three children.

    Dee is the first in her families (family of origin and foster family) to go to university. She is a founding member of the Alliance for Care Experience People in Higher Education, an international support organisation for those who have been displaced from family during childhood and who are studying and working in universities.

    Dee Michell was on the Steering Committee for the inaugural Care Experienced History Month - April 2021 and with Rosie Canning in the UK, has designed a website, Care Experience and Culture, which is a digital archive of literature, films and television shows about Care Experienced People, and a record of Care Experienced People who are artists and writers etc.  Funding for the development of the website was been provided by The Welland Trust, UK. Video recordings of Care Experience and Culture events are available here.

    From 2013-2016, Dee worked on a 3 year ARC funded project on the history of foster care in Australia (with Nell Musgrove, Australian Catholic University). You can hear Dee talk about this project on Housing Matters Radio and via Radio Adelaide's Searchlight program. A book based on the findings, The Slow Evolution of Foster Care in Australia. Just Like A Family? was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2018 and launched by the Honourable Rachel Sanderson MP, Minister for Child Protection, on 21st June 2019 at Relationships Australia.

    Dee is currently working on another 3 year ARC funded project with Nell Musgrove - Care Leaver Activism & Advocacy: From Deficit Models to Survivor Narratives
