After completing a PhD on science and regeneration in Gothic science fiction in 2000, Dr Christiane Gerblinger worked in a range of public sector roles, including as senior adviser on counter-proliferation, energy, health and rural policy, as well as a speechwriter in an economics portfolio. Her last stint as a speechwriter led to her being awarded the prestigious Sir Roland Wilson scholarship to undertake a second PhD on the language of rejected or ignored policy advice. After graduating in 2021, she went on to become a visiting fellow at the ANU’s Centre for the Public Awareness of Science.
