Academic career
After a 1974 PhD titled  'Acute effects of cannabis intoxication'  at the University of Otago, Casswell moved to Massey University, rising to full professor.

Much of Casswell's work involves the public-health psychology, including issues such as alcohol regulation,  recreational drug regulation   and sugar taxes. She has argued in favour of a greater contribution of multinational alcohol companies to the costs of alcohol-related harms.
