Cameron J Williams
Cameron Williams has completed a Bachelor of Psychology (Hons., First Class) and is now a PhD-candidate with the Black Dog Institute (University of New South Wales). Stemming from this degree, Cameron is predominantly interested in student wellbeing and mental health (alongside educational outcomes, including motivation/engagement). Ultimately, Cameron researches optimal ways to enhance university trajectories and students’ outcomes (e.g., via curriculum re-development and/or psycho-social interventions) - and he believes that while universities do much to optimise the higher-education experience, even more could be done to make this journey an exceptional one. Cameron is very passionate about ensuring that the 'student voice' is listened to and acted upon whenever possible – and recently, he has had the chance to work towards an enriched university system (through various research-based and practical experiences). For example, Cameron has surveyed ~5,000 students about their university trajectories; enhanced the curriculum of online programs; and worked with a Pro-Vice Chancellor to increase student progression/retention (through a university-wide program of change based on self-determination theory). Cameron has also published in the top-ranking Journal of Educational Psychology, and has presented at multiple national/international conferences.
