Marina Torjinski’s research responds to the challenges parents face around the healthy integration of screen use into family life. Through a mixed-methods program of research, her PhD work explored how children’s relationships with digital and natural environments interact with the family system. This body of work was developed to guide novel, evidence-based recommendations that empower parents with positively framed strategies to support children’s digital health. Marina has also worked across various interdisciplinary projects exploring child-technology interaction and wellbeing outcomes. As an associate research fellow, Marina’s work will contribute to the Healthy Child research program at UOW, focusing on developing more effective approaches to supporting positive digital parenting practices.
