About
I am an interdisciplinary scholar with experience across academia and the private and public sectors, spanning criminology, communications, history, and law. My work focuses on understanding how AI, bots, and agents are actually used and perceived by society, as opposed to how they are assumed to be, and examining their implications in societal and organisational contexts.
I completed my PhD at the Digital Media Research Centre (DMRC) at Queensland University of Technology, supported by ADM+S funding. My research centred on innovative, experimental practices of bot creation on Reddit and examined Reddit's enduring role as a platform for community-driven technological experimentation.
Keen to collaborate on research about emerging cultures and practises around AI companions, agents and community led bot-making. Also forever passionate about ethical and non-extractive research of offline and digital communities including forum spaces.
