LOUISA BARTOLO

Research Associate in Digital Media

Louisa Bartolo is currently finalising her PhD at Queensland University of Technology's Digital Media Research Centre and is also a student member of the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision-Making and Society. Her PhD is entitled 'Algorithmic recommendation as repair work: Towards a more just distribution of attention on cultural and entertainment digital platforms.' In her thesis she develops empirically grounded normative frameworks for socially responsible algorithmic recommendation on digital platforms hosting user-generated content. She focuses on the specificities of the cultural and entertainment domain, and her case studies are the Amazon Bookstore and Twitch. Louisa was also one of the named experts who fed into the Australian E-Safety Commissioner's recent position statement on algorithmic recommendation. During her PhD, Louisa was a visiting researcher at UCL in the Digital Speech Lab, working on the normative arguments for content demotion (as opposed to removal) on platforms. She has an academic background in the social and political sciences (BA, University of Cambridge) and International Public Policy (MSc, University College London).
