BIO
Linda Leung is an Honorary Associate Professor in Arts, Cultural and Digital Creative Industries.
In her most previous role, she taught postgraduate students working in the creative and cultural industries on the Master of Management. Aimed at those who have trained in these sectors but are moving into management positions, the program brings together a diverse range of people from publicly-funded visual and performing arts institutions, small commercial creative organisations, as well as tech start-ups and microbusinesses. Graduating students work at the forefront of the Experience Economy, leading the way in designing innovative cultural / creative products and services which are accessible to all.
Her third and most recent book Technologies of Refuge: Rethinking Digital Divides (2018 Lexington Books) is a culmination of her research on the design of available, accessible and affordable technology products and services for marginalised communities such as refugees. Her second book, Digital Experience Design: Ideas, Industries, Interaction (2008 Intellect Books) chronicles the diverse backgrounds of practitioners in the dot.com world, and subsequently, the theories, ideas, models and frameworks they bring and apply to the design of technologically mediated experiences. Her first book, Virtual Ethnicity: Race, Resistance & the World Wide Web (2005 Ashgate) is concerned with how technology is appropriated by those with limited access to it, as well as the problems and possibilities which arise when technology is made available to minority groups. It draws from the disciplines of technology studies, media/communication studies, and anthropology/cultural studies. This cross-disciplinary approach also informs her teaching and research on digital creative industries, project management processes and practices, and user experience design.
In her prior role as director of postgraduate programs in interactive multimedia, Linda supervised numerous Masters of Interactive Multimedia (MIMM) students whose work has been recognised by the the Australian Interactive Media Industry Association's annual awards.
Now an Honorary Associate of the UTS Business School, Linda now applies her research skills to industry, contracting for clients such as Service NSW, the City of Sydney, the Office of Local Government and CHOICE. She is also co-founder of ethical tech consultancy and incubator, Little Owl, based at UTS Startups.
