I study the techno-politics of everyday gender violence and structural misogyny, and how these practices are facilitated by digital infrastructures and social structures. My work is underpinned by ethnography, critical gender studies and science and technology studies.

I am currently a Research Fellow in the ARC Centre of Excellence for the Elimination of Violence Against Women in the School of Social Sciences, Faculty of Arts, Monash University in Melbourne, Australia. My current primary research projects examine the nature and prevalence of online misogyny in the Pacific.

My monograph, Witch Power (Polity) offers a queer, feminist materialist analysis of contemporary witchcraft. It considers the return of the witch as a rational, radical rejection of the failed gods of the 21st century: neoliberalism, secular rationalism, and the colonial state.

I have developed both conceptual and innovative methodological approaches to critically unpack hidden gender and racial norms in socio-technical structures (for example, through the figure of “Pod Man”). I brought together my conceptual and empirical approaches to everyday life and social impacts of digital technologies with my second book, Can We Trust Technology (Routledge, 2025), co-authored with Prof Pink. As part of my portfolio of work on gender, technology, and trust I co-produced a short film on gender-based violence and the rideshare industry that was nominated for several awards and screened at film festivals including the 2023 Sydney Women's International Film Festival.

Overall, my work has resulted in significant contributions to criminology, gender studies, and science and technology studies published across prestigious interdisciplinary journals: Violence Against Women; Trauma, Violence & Abuse; and AI & Society. In addition to publishing in a academic journals, I also regularly write and speak about gender and technology for media outlets such as The Conversation, The Guardian, Al Jazeera, the ABC, and elsewhere.
