Older adults and mobile AI
Older adults – meaning people over the age of 65 – are the first generation to grow old in a digital data-saturated world and represent a diverse range of digital literacies. Some have a long history of mobile media adoption, interest, and play, while others are less digitally familiar or literate. When it comes to older adults and artificial intelligence (AI), research has explored how the health and wellbeing of older adults can be optimized an…
Not Just Trolls
Online abuse directed toward elite athletes is a recognised problem, with research beginning to document its gendered impacts. While much of the debate about online abuse in sport focuses on identifying abusive behaviours, the perspectives of athletes themselves remain under examined. This article investigates the experiences of professional and elite women’s sport athletes exposed to online harm, with the aim of understanding their experiences a…
Mapping Informal Digital Care Practice in Later Life
Increasingly, growing older is something we do alongside technologies. Often, through mobile media, our everyday practices of informal caring are being digitally mediated and mediatised. From apps such as Whatsapp to iOS Health, how digital technology is used to provide informal care in later life is poorly understood. Care operates intergenerationally and bilaterally—older adults often caring for young children as well as adult children caring f…
Creating speculative mobile media futures with older adults in Australia
People aged over 65 (“older adults”) are among the first to enter later life in a digital data-saturated world. Many older adults across the world are surrounded by mobile media and computational data in their everyday lives. Mobile media, including smartphones, tablets, and wearables, are near-ubiquitous in Australia. At the same time, older adults are among the most digitally excluded in the country and older adults have diverse feelings toward…
We Make Them Our Kin
Pets, companion animals, and 'more-than-human' kin play important roles in people's lives. Animals are familiar and familial-they are often integral family members and can help create communities beyond the family unit. People rely on their pets for emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. More recently, research into the role of animals in the lives of older adults has come into focus, especially through the visibilities and visualities of…
Careful attunements
This paper takes a design anthropology approach to understanding the learnings, challenges and opportunities Victorians adopted to choreograph practices of care in and through media practice during and after the Australian 2019–2020 bushfire crisis. In doing so, we frame our inquiry from a perspective of how individuals and communities care through media practice. The study weaves together experiences around informal and formal crisis communicati…
Feminist filter bubbles
In this paper, we complicate and bring a new perspective to debates on the democratic limitations of filter bubbles, by exploring the case study of feminist filter bubbles. We extend understandings of the filter bubble to examine the highly reflexive, everyday ways in which filtering is adopted as a practical response to the information saturation and the politicised vulnerability engendered by digital environments. In doing so, we make a case fo…
Interview with Kathleen M Cumiskey
Kathleen M Cumiskey’s feminist research on gender, mobile media, safety, vulnerability and grief has spanned across the previous two decades. This interview focuses on three of Cumiskey’s key texts, and suggests how gendered practices of safety, security and intimacy have changed since the introduction of smartphones. It addresses contemporary changes in mobile and social media practices, and how these influence socio-political smartphone uses. C…
Towards an Affirmative Ethics of Women's Smartphone Uses in Victoria, Australia
In this article, I argue that while smartphones can increase women's capacities to act for themselves and others, smartphones can also act agentially in the interests of corporations and limit women's capacity to act. To make this argument, I consider the value of Rosi Braidotti's [2019. Posthuman Knowledge. Cambridge, UK: Polity Press] posthuman knowledge theory of ‘affirmative ethics’ for understanding women's relationships with their smartphon…
Gender-Technology-Trust
This special issue of Australian Feminist Studies aims to make an interdisciplinary contribution to ongoing feminist conversations around gender, technology and trust – with a particular focus on mobile and social media debates, dialogues and empirical examples. We strategically conceptualise the contingent relationality of gender and technology and trust as a hyphenated assemblage of 'gender-technology-trust', and foreground the complex, ambiguo…
Careful Attunements
In this paper we explore how smartphone users in Victoria (Australia) used mobile and non-mobile media to find and manage information, emotions and networks during the 2019-2020 Australian summer bushfire crisis. Through arts-based methods that deployed drawing, critical reflection and group discussion, we sought to use techniques that elicit the emotional responses and motivations of our participants in and after the crisis. We draw on the conce…
Locative-Media Ethics
Imagine yourself wherever you were 20 years ago, and that an entrepreneurial, fresh-faced, and friendly young newsboy comes to your doorstep. He asks you to subscribe to the local paper. There is no cost to this subscription, he says, but, in exchange for community news, the boy must be allowed to come into your house and look at all of your photos, even the most intimate ones, making duplicates for his boss as he sees fit. As a part of this tran…
