Dr. Joanna Wall Tweedie is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Research Institute for Sport and Exercise.

Her scholarship has been published in leading journals including the Journal of Business Ethics; Journal of Sport Management; Current Addiction Reports; Sport, Ethics and Philosophy; and top law journals.  She is currently conducting the research for a joint project with Sport Integrity Australia examining mitigating strategies for gendered online harm in sport.

Joanna was a physiotherapist prior to commencing her research career. She holds a Bachelor of Physiotherapy from the University of Melbourne and a Master of Business (sport management) from Deakin University. Joanna is passionate about sport as a vehicle for positive change and she served as the Director of Grants and Funding during the foundation of the Sport Environment Alliance.

Joanna represented Australia on numerous occasions as a middle-distance runner. As a junior athlete, she was Australian champion on track and cross country and was ranked in the top 20 in the world. Her running career ended prematurely due to serious illness and injury—an experience she credits for her enduring concern for the health and well-being of athletes.
