I am a Senior Lecturer at UNSW's Faculty of Law & Justice and a an Associate Investigator at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society.

My research explores how social welfare institutions regulate and criminalise marginalised people and communities, particularly single parents and women experiencing domestic violence. A core focus of my work is the relationship between new technologies and social services law, policy and administration. I draw on critical approaches and empirical research methods to study the ways that new technologies and systems can reinforce, shape and/or transform the architecture, aims and outcomes of welfare payment delivery and how these changes affect welfare recipients and public commitments to welfare provision.
