Dr Diana Eyers-White

Dr Diana Eyers-White is a Research Associate at the Centre for Social Impact Flinders (CSI Flinders), focusing on household food insecurity and its structural drivers. Her research examines how food assistance in high-income countries can shift from short-term charitable responses to more sustainable, dignity-driven models that support pathways out of poverty. Her work highlights the role of dignity, choice, and integrated community supports in designing more effective responses to food insecurity.

Alongside her research, Diana lectures in Innovation and Marketing. She is an experienced qualitative researcher, with a strong focus on inclusive and participatory approaches, including co-developing digital literacy programs with people with disability and working alongside community researchers with lived experience of cognitive disability.
