Biography

Professor Aphra Kerr is an adjunct Professor at the Department of Sociology at Maynooth University. From August 2024 she has moved to take up a full time position as a Professor of Information and Commununication Studies at University College Dublin.

She is a co-Principal Investigator with the SFI ADAPT Centre for Digital Content Technology, phase 2 (2021-2026), a multi-institutional national research centre in Ireland (https://www.adaptcentre.ie/). In ADAPT her research is focusing on AI Governance and Ethics as well as public engagement methodologies. She has a number of leadership roles in ADAPT including Science Lead of the TDG strand, challenge lead of A&R and Maynooth institutional lead. She is PI on two collaborative projects involving ADAPT and Dublin City Council/Smart Dublin (2022-2025): Smart D8 and Digital Twins.

Aphra is also a co-PI on the HEA/ Shared Island funded research project YouGAMSI (with Prof. John O'Brennan, MU and Dr. Paul Kitchin, UU) 2022-2024. This project is examining gambling marketing through live sport on the island of Ireland.

Aphra is co-PI on the Algowatch project funded by Creative Europe, 2023-2025. This project is examining how to extend media and information literacy to take account of emerging algorithmic and AI literacies.

Aphra is a co-PI on the Global Media and Internet Concentration Project funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council in Canada (2021-2026) and lead by Prof. D. Winseck of Carleton University, Canada, which is examining media and internet concentration data across 40 countries.

She is also on the management committee for Ireland of the GRADE Cost action - Grassroots of Digital Europe: from Historic to Contemporary Histories of Creative Computing (2022-2026).

Across these projects her research focuses on the design, governance and impact of digital media and technology in everyday life. Media technologies, and technologies as media, pervade every aspect of contemporary life in advanced societies, and play an increasingly important role in governing social and individual behaviour. It is critically important that we question the values that inform technological innovations, mitigate harms and improve their governance. Social scientists need to work in interdisciplinary teams to understand, educate and inform the design and use of next generation technologies.

Aphra is the author of two monographs on digital games published by Sage and Routledge respectively (2006 and 2017), was associate editor of the Digital Communication and Society three volume encyclopaedia (2015), and has published over 70 peer reviewed publications. Her journal articles have appeared in Big Data & Society, Critical Studies in Media Communication, Internet Policy Review, Information, Communication and Society, Media, Culture and Society, New Media and Society, Convergence, Surveillance and Society, International Journal of Cultural Policy, International Journal of Cultural Studies, European Planning Studies and Ethics and Information Technology.

Prior to coming to Maynooth in 2005, she worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the Centre for Media Research at the University of Ulster in Northern Ireland (2004-05), and at the Society, Technology and Media research centre at Dublin City University in Ireland working on projects relating to public service broadcasting policy, media literacy and digital inclusion (2001-2004).

From 2001-2003 she was a Government of Ireland post-doctoral fellow (IRCHSS) working on the project Contemporary Digital Media: The Emergence of Digital Games. Her PhD (DCU, 2000) examined Ireland in the Global Information Economy: Innovation and Multimedia Content Industries with a focus on the barriers to innovation in global and local multimedia content services. During her PhD she spent six months as a European fellow at UNU/INTECH in Maastricht, the Netherlands.

See info on publications at Google Scholar and many past publications (2005-2024) are available open access in the university's publication repository MURAL.

She can also be found on Linked In.

	Description
	PEGI is the age and content information rating system for digital games across Europe. I was invited to join the experts group at the end of 2014. The Experts Group is a committee of approximately 10 people that consists mainly of academic experts, PEGI administrators (due to daily practical expertise) and video game publishers (specifically age rating specialists). Its role is to discuss any problematic detail of the rating system and to solve issues that were raised by the administrators or the PEGI Management Board.
	Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) member, Centre of Excellence in Game Culture Studies, appointed by the Research Council for Culture and Society at the Academy of Finland. Director: Frans Mayra, Universities of Tampere, Jyväskylä and Turku, 2018-2025.
	Advise Foroige in Ireland on the development and deployment of an Online safety education programme for aimed at teenagers and youth.
