Dalang is currently in the 3rd year of her PhD at Charles Sturt University in an interdisciplinary research study involving Social Sciences & Creative Studies.
She has traversed the learning curve of settling back into academia after a 12 year hiatus and is revitalized by the stimulating meeting ground of higher learning and research impact. She is still navigating the terrain of balancing her studies with being her son’s full time carer and that merging of roles in her lived experience has given her much food for thought in her research.
She combined her professional role of filmmaker and her passion for advocacy and inclusion in disability and carers, blending them into a research study on the lived experience of lifelong carers in Australia where her data is presented in the form of a documentary film titled 'Unconditional ' (launching in March 2024) which takes us into the homes of four carers of differing demographics, who took on the commitment of caring for their loved one/s, more than a decade ago and this duty continues for most of them well into their retirement. We hear about the impact of diagnosis day, or as one carer put it, “…when the penny dropped…”
Her other interests include deep diving into the world of disability inclusion, the meeting ground of faith and disability, learning from autistic advocates in the non-speaking disability world, consuming copious amounts of Nordic noir murder mysteries and enjoying the company of family and friends with good food in the mix.
Last employment was as a full time documentary filmmaker and television producer.
Currently a full time carer for my son and PhD candidate.
