Louisa Bartolo is currently finalising her PhD at the Digital Media Research Centre (Queensland University of Technology) and is also a student member of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society. Her PhD is entitled 'Algorithmic recommendation as repair work: Towards a more just distribution of attention on cultural and entertainment digital platforms.' In her thesis she develops empirically grounded normative frameworks for socially responsible algorithmic recommendation on digital platforms hosting user-generated content. She focuses on the specificities of the cultural and entertainment domain, and her case studies are the Amazon Bookstore and Twitch. Louisa was also one of the experts who fed into the discussions for the Australian E-Safety Commissioner's recent position statement on algorithmic recommendation. She has an academic background in the social and political sciences (BA, University of Cambridge, UK) and international public policy (MSc, University College London, UK).
