OLIVIA INWOOD
Welcome!
This website contains professional information about Dr Olivia Inwood.
I am the Learning Programs Manager at Western Sydney University Library. I am also an active researcher and Adjunct PhD Supervisor (external).
I obtained my PhD: "A Discourse-Analytic Approach to the Study of Information Disorders: How Online Communities Legitimate Social Bonds When Communing Around Misinformation and Disinformation" in 2023 from UNSW Sydney.
I have published research on new media practices, information disorders (misinformation and disinformation) and critical evaluation of language, social media data analysis and discourse, and visual culture.
I enjoy working on collaborative research and educational projects, and working or volunteering in the not-for-profit sector.
My current interests include:
-
academic literacies and language in higher education through the lens of systemic functional linguistics,
-
digital literacies and multimodality,
-
philosophy of information and technology,
-
generative AI discourses in higher education,
-
social media discourses (evaluation and legitimation analyses),
-
working as a third space practitioner in higher education and reflective practitioner research,
-
design thinking and co-design, and
-
demonstrating social impact and theory of change models, particularly in academic libraries.
On this website, you can read more about myself and my work, discover my recent academic publications, or access my CV.
Please feel free to contact me if there is anything I can help you with or if you are interested in knowing more about my research and work. I enjoy communicating with everyone :)
