research
I'm a researcher, teacher and PhD candidate at the Department of Internet Studies at Curtin University, Australia and the co-founder of Atmosphere Industries, a non-profit game design organisation. My PhD thesis looks at the architecture, ideology and consequences of Facebook's privacy design. I was previously a Research Associate at Ryerson University's EDGE Lab, where I researched privacy, autonomy and social media for children as part of a grant from GRAND. My PhD research is being funded by an Australian Postgraduate Award.Recent & upcoming talks:
