Profile

Dr Eve Mayes

Dr Eve Mayes’s research focusses on children’s development of activist sensibilities in digital worlds and in intergenerational relations. Through her work with the Centre, Eve hopes to play a small role in shifting attitudes towards children and childhood beyond deficit discourses, towards recognition of children and young people’s capacities, agency and world-making practices.

Eve is currently working on the ARC DECRA project Striking Voices: Australian school-aged climate justice activism (2022-2025), and the project Young people’s learning in digital worlds: The alienation and re-imagining of education, a collaboration between Deakin University and Utrecht University, Netherlands.

Earliest digital memory
Playing Tetris on a Gameboy. I remember going to sleep at night fitting and rearranging the falling blocks in my mind’s eye. Perhaps this formed early patterns of insomnia!
