Dr Diana Perche's research areas include public policy theory, historical analysis of policy development, the politics of evaluation, and the use of evidence in policy formulation and implementation. Her research currently focuses on participation of First Nations in Australian politics and policy-making, and the ways in which governments use evidence and ideology to design public policy affecting or targeting Indigenous people in Australia.
