Dr Natalia Radywyl is a social researcher and Honorary Research Fellow in the School of Culture and Communication at the University of Melbourne. As someone working across multiple disciplines, sectors and projects, Natalia advocates the role of critically-informed design, seeking a common language to design for positive change.
With interests in user-centred and spatial design, Natalia specialises in ethnographic approaches to understanding user experience and facilitating public engagement. Recent research includes her Ph.D. Moving Images, the Museum and a Politics of Movement (2008), which employed ethnography, social theory and cultural policy analysis to appraise visitor experience and codify the spatial ecology in the Australian Centre for the Moving Image, Melbourne; visitor engagement with urban screens and public space (2009-10); and viewer engagement with social media in the context of Australian public broadcasting (2011). As a social researcher she also has a strong grounding in policy, and consults to government on public behaviour change and agenda-setting.
Natalia’s practice and research background reflect her interdisciplinary inclinations. Having completed projects spanning languages, creative arts, music and interactive media, and lectured in new media, media policy, theories of consumption and urban culture, she continues to publish about the role of public institutions such as broadcasters, museums and common urban spaces in mediating meaningful experiences in everyday life.
