Alexia is a sociologist interested in the experience of digital community, human-technology encounters, and social change. She combines her passion for researching digital frontiers with an eclectic interest in research methodology. Her book “Research Methods and Global Online Communities: A case study” explored the notion of community experience as it occurs across online environments, and a spatially distributed, global context. Alexia is a Research Fellow at the Blockchain Innovation Hub, RMIT.  She continues to tinker at research that looks into the unfolding edges of society where we innovate and manifest social safety nets and sociality in liminal spaces.
