Dr Josh Rhee

Josh is a Research Advisor in our Sydney office. His work focuses on digital and media, government and citizen engagement, and workplace safety. Josh completed his Ph.D. dissertation at the University of Melbourne, which looked at when, how and why everyday non-moral ideas come to be seen by people as morally relevant, and why such “moralization” might lead to certain patterns of cognition and behaviour. 

Prior to joining BIT, Josh spent time as an Associate Research Fellow at Deakin University, where he was involved in research looking at the effectiveness of messaging interventions to increase influenza vaccination and climate change mitigation behaviours. Josh has also previously worked as a community mediator assisting people to resolve disputes arising from workplace, neighbourhood, and family contexts, and holds an LL.B. from the University of Queensland.
