Centre for Tax System Integrity
Valerie Braithwaite
Valerie Braithwaite is the Director of the Centre for Tax System Integrity in the Regulatory Institutions Network (RegNet) at the Australian National University. She has held this position for five and a half years and in July 2005 will return to her substantive position as Senior Fellow in the RegNet Program, Research School of Social Sciences.
Valerie Braithwaite's research interests are interdisciplinary and wide ranging. Much of her work revolves around people's capacity to adapt to social environments that are challenging and threatening. How individuals make sense of their opportunities and restrictions, and how individuals' behaviour effectively shapes the course of future regulation are themes that recur in her work. The contexts in which she has explored these issues are diverse: Children's television, school bullying, workplace discrimination, family stress, and aged care. More recently her focus has been on the role that shared values, trust and hope play in building legitimacy for authority and government agencies in a democracy; in particular in the context of taxation, a central plank for building a sustainable democracy.
Valerie Braithwaite has been based in the Research School of Social Sciences for 12 years, previously having held a position in the ANU Psychology Department.
