CONFERENCES AND TALKS
Are you looking for a speaker for your event?
Are you 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!
In academic year 2021-2022, these are two talks I will be especially happy to deliver for your event:
-
10 Issues and Debates in Cyberpsychology
-
The Science of Emoji
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.
Interested? Please email me on Linda.kaye@edgehill.ac.uk and we can make arrangements from there!

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.

The Science of Emoji
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.
