Caitlin McGrane

Dr Caitlin McGrane is Research Fellow in the School of Media & Communication at RMIT University. She is currently Research Fellow on two collaborative ARC-funded projects led by Distinguished Professor Larissa Hjorth and Professor Ingrid Richardson. The Museum Digital Social Futures project is a Linkage partnership between RMIT, ACMI and AMaGA that investigates digital-social co-creation between museums and their audiences. The Ageing in and through Data project is a Discovery study that investigates how older adults are incorporating technology into their ageing-in-place practices. 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.

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.
