About

Kylie Pappalardo studies how automation, digital distribution, and intellectual property laws shape the reach and diversity of our culture. She currently holds a three-year fellowship from the Australian Research Council to examine the impact of copyright law in Australia’s screen industries, focusing on distribution and access to audiovisual material (Discovery Early Career Research (DECRA) Fellow DE210100525). Kylie’s research considers how the high costs and complex logistics of screen production and distribution can be reconciled with the public goal of broad, affordable and sustained availability of audiovisual content that represents the full diversity of Australia’s people and cultures.

Kylie is a Senior Lecturer in the Law School at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT), a Chief Investigator with the Digital Media Research Centre (DMRC), and an Associate Investigator with the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision Making and Society (ADM+S).
