Lecturer in Journalism and Communications, University of Galway I’m the programme director for the Global Media and Communication MA at National University Ireland Galway and I also teach journalism (social media) in the undergraduate and graduate programmes with a focus on social and digital journalism and media theory. My research agenda is focused on the ways in which social media have impacted journalism and I am particularly interested in the ways that bad-faith actors are weaponising journalism norms in a social and digital media context. I draw from Andrew Chadwick’s hybrid media theory in understanding how social media has created new ways that information can flow in a hybrid media environment.
Sessional Academic and UNESCO Consultant, Deakin University Hi, I'm Kim. I've been teaching, facilitating, researching, and managing projects globally in sport, health, and youth development for almost 10 years. And, I love it! If you really have to know, I have a PhD on the Australian Football League Women's competition. Since I finished it, I've been working with UNESCO in sport and youth development in Southeast Asia while continuing to teach and research at Deakin and Swinburne University. If there's something you think we should work on together, let's chat! I'm always open to new and exciting ideas.
