Dr Amber Marshall is a Lecturer in Management, and a member of Griffith Asia Institute and Centre for Work, Organisation and Wellbeing, at Griffith University. Dr Marshall’s research focuses on digital inclusion and rural development. Drawing on management and communication sciences, she employs socio-technical theoretical perspectives to investigate how individuals, organisations, and communities become digitally connected and adopt digital technologies. Her research interests include digital skills and capability development, digital inclusion ecosystems, remote telecommunications infrastructure (both technical and social), and digital AgTech and data. Amber principally employs ethnographic methods (co-design, participant observation, interviews, focus groups) to immerse herself in rural contexts, and strives to develop research outputs that translate into actionable options for local stakeholders.
