Speaking & media
Invited lectures, conference talks, podcasts, and broadcast appearances on adolescent development, education, and AI.
Topics
Growing up inside algorithmic worlds
How identity, emotion, and autonomy form during adolescence inside systems that watch, predict, and respond, and what this changes for schools, families, and young people themselves.
For education conferences, policy, parent organisations.
AI in education: what the technology can and cannot do
A grounded look at AI tutors, recommendation systems, and learning platforms: what they support well, where they narrow young people’s agency, and how educators can hold the line.
For schools, university leadership, ed-tech teams.
Designing for agency, not just engagement
Practical principles for building or commissioning systems that young people will use. Engagement is not the same as wellbeing; this talk works through the difference and what it implies for design.
For product teams, regulators, school leaders.
Attention, trust, and the digital home
How attention, regulation, and relational development play out in households where every member sits inside the same algorithmic feeds.
For lay and parent audiences, clinicians.
