Kieran Hegarty is a Research Fellow at the RMIT University node of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making & Society (ADM+S).
Kieran’s research explores the relationship between social infrastructure (particularly libraries) and digital technologies. His PhD research examines how online material is incorporated into major public library collections, and the effects that a changing information environment has on the public’s right to access and contribute to the shared cultural record.
Kieran is a member of the Australian Digital Inclusion Index research team and contributes to a range of ADM+S projects focused on digital inclusion and participation. He was also an inaugural Digital Humanism Junior Visiting Fellow at the Institute for Human Sciences in Vienna and is a PhD member of two of Australia’s leading interdisciplinary research centres (the Centre for Urban Research and the Digital Ethnography Research Centre at RMIT).
