TALKS
I really enjoy presenting my research to a wide range of audiences. Over my career, I have delivered hundreds of talks at: public engagement events, community events, academic conferences, guest sessions in courses, research seminars, and in policy meetings.
Are you looking for a speaker for your event? Or maybe you are organising a research seminar series and wanting some ideas of speakers?
If you are interested in cyberpsychology being on your programme, I am always keen to share my insights!
These are talks I will be especially happy to deliver for your event:
-
10 Issues and Debates in Cyberpsychology
-
Are Emoji Emotional?
-
What does our online behaviour reveal about us?
-
Building a career in Cyberpsychology
By default, each of these would be delivered online via video conferencing and fit into a 1 hour time-slot, inclusive of a Q&A. However, I will be happy to discuss travelling to you if this if preferable.

Building a Career in Cyberpsychology
Inspired by her book of the same title, this talk outlines the various ways that cyberpsychology can be applied to different types of careers. From consumer insights, to cyber-defence, to digital strategy, this talk will give you a glimpse into how cyberpsychology can underpin issues, challenges and possibilities in these contexts. The talk will outline the various domains of cyberpsychology, with illustrative case studies of how cyberpsychology is being applied in different sectors and roles. Finally, the talk will provide practical guidance for those seeking career advice in pursuing a cyberpsychology-related career.
10 Issues and Debates in Cyberpsychology
Cyberpsychology is a vastly developing field seeking to understand the psychology experiences and impacts of new technology and aspects of the Internet. This talk will reflect upon 10 key lessons which I have learnt from working in this area. Many of these are issues I discuss in my book “Issues and Debates in Cyberpsychology”. This talk will include insights such as what we mean by “online behaviour”, how screen use is not the same as screen-time, and how researchers can draw together user-centred and technology-centred perspectives more coherently to understand the effects of technology and internet use.
Are Emoji Emotional?
In recent years, the scientific study of emoji has grown substantially. This includes asking questions such as: “why do we use emoji?”, “what does your emoji say about you?” and “how do emoji help us communicate better?” This talk discusses our recent work which asks the question “are emoji emotional?” Interestingly, this is a question which hasn’t yet fully been answered. This talk will outline the research we have been doing which has sought to answer this, and present further insights into what questions still need answering and how these may be tackled.
What does our online behaviour reveal about us?
When using technology and the Internet, we can engage in a wide range of behaviours, from “liking” a friend’s photo on Facebook, to typing a keyword into Google. Cyberpsychology is the psychological study of online behaviour. This field has started to help us understand how aspects of our personality and characteristics might be represented in the behaviours we choose to engage in online. This provides a fascinating insight into how we can use online behaviours to help understand each other. This session will introduce you to cyberpsychology, and some of the key research studies which have been done on the topic of online behaviour, which will give you insight into what your online behaviour might reveal about you…!
