research
I'm in my final year of my PhD in the Department of Internet Studies at Curtin University of Technology. Using primary and secondary ethnography, I'm looking at the architecture, ideology and consequences of Facebook's privacy design. I'm also a Research Associate at Ryerson University's EDGE Lab, where I'm researching privacy, autonomy and social media for children. My research is being funded by an Australian Postgraduate Award and through a grant from GRAND.Recent & forthcoming publications:
