University of Queensland Postdoctoral Research Fellow 2004 - 2006
ARC Postdoctoral Research Fellow 2007 - 2008

Melissa Gregg completed her PhD in the Department of Gender Studies at the University of Sydney in 2004. Her thesis, Scholarly Affect: Voices of Intervention in Cultural Studies, considered the impact of key figures in the history of cultural studies on academic writing conventions and political debate more broadly. The book version, Cultural Studies' Affective Voices, is published by Palgrave MacMillan.

Melissa is currently working on a three year study, Working From Home: New media technology, workplace culture and the changing nature of domesticity. Using an innovative methodology that includes workplace and home-based interviews, ethnographic web research and textual analysis of print media, it provides an in-depth account of how online technologies become part of everyday life for white collar workers in information jobs.

Publications arising from the study are listed here. 

Melissa is Organizational Secretary and Australia/New Zealand representative for the Association for Cultural Studies and part of the Editorial Collective for Continuum: Journal of Media and Cultural Studies and M/C Journal. In 2007 she was awarded a UQ Foundation Research Excellence Award for her work into the changing nature of privacy and intimacy in online contexts.

Melissa left the Centre at the end of 2008 to take up a position in the Department of Gender and Cultural Studies at The University of Sydney.
