Overview
Background
Dr Renée Mickelburgh is a lecturer in Strategic Communication at the University of Queensland (UQ). Her research examines the way Australian women communicate gender and environmental justice through digital storytelling. She has also worked as a research fellow for UQ’s Sexual and Gender Violence Research Network. With over two decades of experience in communication — from journalism and politics, through to civil society and now academia — Renée is interested in how AI technologies are changing approaches to communication, the implications for gender and human rights advocacy, and the professional and social consequences of these technologies on women and vulnerable communities. As an affiliate of UQ’s Centre for Communication and Social Change, she contributes to discussions on AI for public good.
