Dinusha Bandara

Dinusha Bandara’s PhD project seeks to provide a better understanding of datafication and digital childhoods of migrant families. She will use a mixed methods approach to foreground the voices of migrant families to understand their everyday use of digital technologies, digital data practices and parental mediation practices. She will also explore how they understand and experience datafication across everyday settings. Dinusha hopes that diverse digital childhoods, in all their nuances and complexities, will enrich the present understanding of how children are datafied in everyday settings.

Dinusha has a multidisciplinary background with expertise in statistics, data management and data linkage. In her previous wide-ranging leadership and technical roles, she has directed large-scale data linkage/integration operations, managed teams responsible for national longitudinal study data life cycles, advised government’s data networks and provided statistical consulting.
