My research spans Human Computer Interaction and Information Science, and focuses on understanding how people find, use, manage, and abuse information.Â
I am particularly interested in ensuring that advances in information technology improve, rather than reducing social benefits and social equity. To that end I have four main interests
Non search access to information, including recommendations, browsing, and information encountering
The role of online information and misinformation in shaping views and behaviours
How digital technology is changing violence against women, children, and minoritized groups, and how this can be mitigated by design
How bias in information technologies shapes and negatively impacts society
To this end, my research collaborations have included:
GLAM (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums) sector organisations including the British Museum and State Library of Victoria
The Australian Digital Health Agency
Consumer Policy Research Centre Victoria
The Burnet Institute
the Australian eSafety Commission
