Thesis Title

Designing Favourable Conditions for Social Inclusion and Community Innovation in a Regional City

Supervisors

• Professor Marcus Foth (Principal Supervisor)
• Professor Gregory Hearn (Associate Supervisor)
• Dr Kim Osman (Associate Supervisor)

Citation

Many people in regional cities have limited opportunities to create or innovate, particularly those from disadvantaged and marginalised groups who are excluded from mainstream innovation ecosystems. Employing reflective, participatory, and design-led research across public and commercial settings, this applied PhD created and tested favourable conditions that enabled an inclusive innovation community to emerge and flourish in the regional city of Townsville. Outcomes included new community-led initiatives responding to local needs, and reduced experiences of loneliness and social isolation. The findings offer clear guidance for policymakers and practitioners seeking to expand regional innovation while also improving social and digital inclusion outcomes.

Thesis Title

The Entanglement of Usability and Sociability: Discord in the Time of Monsters

Supervisors

• Dr Jane Turner (Principal Supervisor)
• Associate Professor Nick Kelly (Associate Supervisor)

Citation

This research explores how people and digital platforms shape each other through everyday use. Focusing on Discord, a highly configurable social platform, it examines the entanglement of designed features, community practices, and social norms. By observing communities, analysing platform design, and studying how people communicate online, this research offers ways for designers and researchers to look beyond just the text and instead see the texture: the overlapping ways people use and adapt platforms in practice. This matters for anyone designing, studying, or using online platforms, where small design choices can shape how communities communicate, organise, and support each other.

Thesis Title

(Trans)places to Play: Mapping Cultures of Reinvention in the Age of Digitally Mediated Translocal Relationships

Supervisors

• Dr Jane Turner (Principal Supervisor)
• Professor Marcus Foth (Associate Supervisor)

Citation

This thesis undertook five studies investigating how families and romantic partners living far apart use digital technologies to resituate a sense of togetherness and shared place at a distance. I offer a new word, “transplace,” to characterise the kinds of places being cultivated together by loved ones living far apart, often through the internet, telephones, physical mail, and other networked technologies. Through transplace, I reimagine how we can design such technologies to support long-distance dwelling and togetherness, asserting that any such design work must honour diverse mediated relationship practices across a multitude of geographical and cultural contexts.

Thesis Title

A Human Centred Design Approach to the Design of Technology-Based Rehabilitation Devices for Use at Home

Supervisors

• Professor Marianella Chamorro Koc (Principal Supervisor)
• Professor Glenda Caldwell (Associate Supervisor)
• Associate Professor Muge Fialho Leandro Alves Teixeira (Associate Supervisor)
• Dr Chao Zhao (External Supervisor)

Citation

This thesis expands our understanding of the use of technology for home-based rehabilitation. With a focus on the rehabilitation of hand grasp function and key stakeholders, including clinicians and technology developers, this study extends design knowledge of technology usability and device interaction to support people’s everyday recovery practices. The thesis contributes a rehabilitation-specific design framework that provides structured support for specialists navigating the complex, multidimensional challenges involved in developing technology-based rehabilitation devices for home use.
