Dr Caitlin McGrane is Research Fellow in the School of Media & Communication at RMIT University. She is currently Research Fellow on two ARC-funded projects led by Distinguished Professor Larissa Hjorth and Professor Ingrid Richardson. The Ageing in and through Data project is a Discovery project that investigates how older adults are incorporating technology into their ageing-in-place practices. The Understanding Children's Mobile Gamble-Play Cultures: Gateways to Gambling project investigates how children use mobile media to engage in "gamble-play". Dr McGrane also sits on the board of the charity Digital Rights Watch, an organisation that works to ensure fairness, freedoms and fundamental rights for all people who engage in the digital world. Her work has been published in leading journals including Information, Communication & Society, Media, Culture & Society, Mobile Media & Communication and Australian Feminist Studies. She is a co-author of the forthcoming books Ageing in and through Data: Lived Experiences and Creative Interventions and Museums and Digital Social Futures.

Dr McGrane's research explores gender, identity, technology and everyday life. She is particularly interested in how gender-based digital harms are experienced and resisted in quotidian ways. She has previously worked in the not-for-profit sector as a gendered online harassment prevention practitioner and researcher.
