Early work
[edit]Raynes-Goldie is also known for her early work on how people understand, use and connect with each other on social media,[6] in particular her ethnographic research on Facebook and privacy. She co-authored the first scholarly examination of friending on social networks.[7]
Her PhD thesis was titled Privacy in the Age of Facebook: Discourse, Architecture, Consequences.[8] The thesis was the 5th most downloaded thesis of all time from the Curtin University library repository as of July 2022.[9]
Raynes-Goldie spoke at SXSW in 2007[10] on a panel with danah boyd on young people’s use of social media, amidst the then ongoing moral panic around young people “over sharing” online.
Raynes-Goldie received funding from the MacArthur Foundation's Digital Media and Learning Initiative,[11] which resulted in her co-authored a chapter that examined young people's use of social media for activism and engagement in Civic Life Online, published by MIT press.[12]
Play and games

She gave a talk on play and games as enablers of connection at TEDxPerth.[14]
Raynes-Goldie co-founded Atmosphere Industries, a game design studio[15][failed verification] and in 2007 co-created Ghost Town, an ARG aimed at exploring Perth.[16]
Education
[edit]She has a BA(hons.) in Philosophy and Semiotics from the University of Toronto[citation needed] and holds a PhD in internet studies from Curtin University.
Awards
[edit]In 2016, she was awarded the Australian Computer Society's Digital Disruptors Awards' "ICT Professional of the Year",[17] and also won WAITTA Incite's Achiever of the Year.[18] In 2015 and 2016, she was named one of the 75 most influential women in the games industry in Australia and New Zealand by MCV[13] and a finalist for Curtin University's Alumni Professional Achievement Award in Humanities.[19]
