| Dr Kirsty Williamson, Director, Information and Telecommunications Needs Research, Caulfield School of Information Technology, Monash University and School of Information Studies, Charles Sturt University, will be speaking on Wednesday 7th February, 2007, 10am, GP S306 |
Kirsty Williamson has been an academic in the LIS field for 18 years, holding positions at The University of Melbourne, RMIT, Monash University and Charles Sturt University. In the last 10 years, as Senior Research Fellow at both Monash and Charles Sturt University, she has been principally a researcher and supervisor of higher degree students. Over this period she has been Director of Information and Telecommunications Needs Research, a research group affiliated with both Caulfield School of IT at Monash University and the School of Information Studies at CSU. Since the early 1990s she has won over $3 million dollars in research grants from such organisations as the Telstra Fund for Social and Policy Research, Department of Information Technology and the Arts, and the Australian Research Council from which she has received six grants – five Linkage and one Discovery. She also has a strong publishing record, both internationally and nationally. Her research has been wide-ranging
in the information and technology areas, particularly focussing on the field of information-seeking behaviour and the human and social side of IT needs and use.
The informal seminar at QUT will focus particularly on Kirsty’s ARC Discovery project, which she is undertaking in partnership with two Professors of Law – one at the University of NSW, the other at ANU. Titled “One Day, We'll All Invest This Way! Regulating Online Investment,” the project has a particular focus on the role of information in online investment. |
