An independent researcher working at the intersection of culture, technology, and privacy.
I'm Louise — a researcher and consultant focused on the cultural and ethical dimensions of digital life. My work asks how platforms, data systems, and online communities are reshaping public discourse, identity, and the boundaries of personal privacy.
I partner with universities and professional institutions to study the evolving digital culture landscape, and I advise organisations navigating the practical and reputational questions that come with operating in it. I write, present, and teach on these themes regularly, and I take particular interest in how policy, design, and everyday user behaviour collide in real-world contexts.
Outside of formal research, I write a regular Substack on technology, culture, and the slow work of taking privacy seriously.
